Heat index already really nasty.

87 / 73 here

Had no idea even HRRR was modeling things like that... If you have a min, can you post what you're seeing? I looked and can't see it

After today there isn’t really a threat of rain for at least 10 days it seems to me. Things will dry out fast.

It’s pretty bad up here too with all of the lakes and rivers. It’s so wet right now too. I had fog forming around 8pm yesterday evening. Like you’ve said, the skeeters have been extra vicious. The black flies have been minimal though. Maybe the mosquitoes are eating them too.

I agree. I don't think we'll see 96 during this event. I'd say we top out at 94 maybe Monday and/or Tuesday, and lower 90s the rest of the time. However the Carnot-Moon Accuweather point and click did tick a bit warmer this morning, lol.

Not all, but my recollection, selective maybe, is that max AN temps often occur with a heat wave in June in Niñas then not so AN the rest of the summer. I guess we'll see if my memory is tainted with a wishcast.

Unfortunately, I don't have such details and I am not aware of their being published. Given where things currently stand, I think its solution is probably somewhat more likely than that on the operational AI. Nevertheless, even at this timeframe, it is subject to errors, so one can't fully rule out more widespread heat.

I don't have much expectation that partial privatization or private partnerships would address the structural modeling issue. A model that would be publicly available wouldn't produce high profit margins. Only sustainable competitive advantages requiring exclusivity or near exclusivity in solutions, would command such profit margins. Thus, investments wouldn't be devoted to models per se.

This area is 100% the fog capital of SNE. It’s literally always foggy and last to burn off. I’ve never been able to figure out why

I raised the blades and mowed wet this morning, just to knock it down a little. Then tomorrow, or maybe Saturday, I'll mow again at my regular height.

DCA - 102 IAD - 101 BWI - 103 RIC - 103

83/75 Actually hit 84 before 10am when there was more of a westerly wind

So ah, anyone know what the NYT uses for their model? Props to them for calling attention to the coming heat but… they have the heat index maxing out at 94/95 for NYC.

Solstice sun. Temps will recover no problem.

So was I, but much too far south (and too young) to know anything about ORH. That year has 2 wx memories: The NNJ ice storm of Jan 8-9 that started my lifelong interest in trees and weather, and that NYC had 4 days with 100+, a feat only done twice (1966) since records began in 1869. Still cloudy here, but muggy 70s.

It will be interesting to see where June 2025 stacks up when all is said and done. The Accuweather forecast for Carnot-Moon, PA for the rest of the month would imply the final mean temperature would come in around 73.3F. That would be the hottest June recorded at the airport, and the hottest in the threaded record since 1943. While it would only tie for 10th hottest in the threaded record, it would be 4th hottest since 1898. Six of the top 10 are during Pittsburgh's temperature steroid era of the late 1800s. Last June finished at 72.8F and was the warmest since 1994 & 3rd warmest overall at the airport behind 1967 & 1994. As an aside, if you search "Pittsburgh International Airport" on Accuweather, it actually generates the forecast for Pittsburgh Central Business District instead of Carnot-Moon or Findlay Township. So I didn't use those higher figures [that forecast would imply a final mean checking in at a whopping 73.8F!]. With that said, I do suspect the Accuweather forecast is a little overdone and would favor a final mean temperature around that of last June.

why is Con Ed fine with putting all their equipment out there and the Central Park people hide their sensors behind trees? Why dont they just surround it with an electric fence and anyone who tries to touch it gets zapped?

Some places were very warm, but it wasn't as widespread: https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/monitoring/climate-at-a-glance/statewide/mapping/110/tavg/201007/1/rank In fact, 2011 was more widespread than 2010: https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/monitoring/climate-at-a-glance/statewide/mapping/110/tavg/201107/1/rank

The whole neighborhood is concrete in Corona and the rest of highly urbanized Queens neighborhoods with very little grass. So it’s representative of what people living in the neighborhood experience. You can be considered very lucky in NYC if you have even have a tiny patch of grass. Backyards are a real luxury for all but the higher value properties. Even in the LB West End there is very little grass.

But not in Nassau County, why not? I'm going to use the one in Howard Beach which is the one that's closest to me. The one in Corona whos cam I just saw is in about as artificial a climate as I have ever seen, a concrete parking lot lol

Beautiful day. Too bad I have to work. Maybe I'll turn the sprinkler on and run through it. Family at the beach.

Looking at the cams for all these micronets, the one at Corona looks to be in the middle of a concrete parking lot LOL.....about as artificial an environment as you can get.
