  1. again, don't assume too much; as stated above, to me "endless summer" means actual summer weather doesn't end, 80s+ and dews go on and on, and that does not appear to be happening you tend to engage with language that exaggerates and reaches toward the weather outcome you'd prefer, thus biasing your "forecasts" and repeating them doesn't improve their accuracy
  2. this forum has taught me that it is almost always possible to find "guidance" that supports the forecast one prefers this forum has also taught me who is posting "forecasts" based on personal bias, and who is posting guidance as they try to figure out the ever-changing forecast 64/64 and rain

  4. currently 66/63 and the rain started a few minutes ago lol, still struggling with the thread title
  5. That must be crude, refined products won't be coming down in price any time soon. Refined petroleum is only going to increase in price because the real problem isn't availability of crude, it's the lack of adequate global operating refining capacity. Right now US refineries are running at maximum capacity; they can't produce any more refined product than what they are producing right now. Additionally, refining capacity around the globe has been diminished by various geopolitical factors including Russia's invasion of Ukraine and dumb-dumb's closing of the straight of Hormuz, which has reduced the availability of refined products across the globe which is driving up prices. The refined product produced here in the US is now also being sold onto the world market at high prices, driving our prices up. a rudimentary understanding of capitalism, supply and demand, and global refining capacity quickly demonstrates that refined products will become more and more expense as we get closer to the end of the year. I'm keeping all 5 of my car fuel tanks full, and if I had a big oil tank or propane tank, I'd be filling that now, too.
  6. Paid 4.40 for gas in my hood. What a disaster. 59/57, at least the weather is good
  7. No, it may be above normal, but it won’t be a “torch”.
  8. since you are referring to me, let me assure you, and dispel any notion that you may have to the contrary, I do in fact use my ACs when they are needed, why else would I carry those anchors up and down the stairs every summer season and sacrifice valuable window space, if knew I were going to leave them turned off? I don't like the ACs. They are loud, one is 3 feet from my head when I sleep. they about 700-800 watts each and both run on the same branch circuit, so they are pushing the 80% constant draw rule. they are also inefficient, eating ton of power which produces carbon pollution emissions that i'd like to avoid producing if alternatives are available, like a 20 watt fan in a downstairs window. If I can cool my house to 67/68 while sleeping with scientifically-placed fans and strategically opened and closed windows, and so far it's been weeks of evenings/nights that have been like that, I too can enjoy ideal scientifically proven sleeping temperatures without the window rattlers. yes yes we know how proud you are about how you love AC. some of us don't and we don't mind posting about it. not sorry that gets you all hot and sweaty
  9. 72 here with showers rolling through, dodged the need to turn on the house ACs today which is nice, looks like AC days may be over for the season !
  10. what an awful way to cast something as important as a vote, especially when the alternatives were better prepared, better qualified and had better policy positions that would have helped everyday Americans a whole lot more than "Gulf of America" and "World Liberty Financial"
  11. where is that exactly? is it near Lake America? or in the great state of New America?
  12. they all look "above normal" now; in the last 10 years more than 75% of the average monthly temps in southern New England have been above normal above normal is the new normal
  13. man, what a night last night, another with windows open and a fan on low, great for sleep (if you can) currently 60/60, will we need the house ACs later today for one more day this season ?
