Beginning in June a SW wind isn't all that cool here.... maybe for Fire Island, but a SW wind has a very short trajectory over water here and I've seen it hit 90 many times here on a SW wind in June and 100 on a SW wind in July.

But that doesn't improve SAD. You can also get Vitamin D from fish and milk, but the real benefit of the sun is improving mood.

JFK gets a bad rap, but it's hotter around here than it is in a park, we're in an urban area-- this isn't Fire Island lol.

I trust the temperatures near JFK a lot more than I trust either LGA or EWR. JFK temperatures are more natural and what I would expect to be normal for the area without human interference. LGA and EWR seem inflated..... I can personally speak to inflated temperatures near LGA because of congestion. My car thermometer records a 5-10 degree spike when I exit the Mid Town Tunnel and enter Queens and this spike lasts until I get on the Grand Central. It's more than UHI, it's the large number of people driving cars and all the car exhaust that artificially boosts temperatures in that region. We didn't have this kind of car congestion in the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, etc. It's why it stays higher at night around LGA too.

1993: Four inches of rain fell in one hour on Lenox, IA as the Great Mississippi Flood of 1993 was beginning. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History) and one of our greatest summers of all time !! JFK: 95 (1983) looks like the great summer of 1983 began around this time too

hopefully that stuff stays to our north and west like it did in 1993 and 1995. ring of fire is what I associate with extreme heat (hence the term fire lol).

doesn't a ring of fire mean extreme heat here? those thunderstorms go to our north normally.

it hit 80 here at noon before the temperature dropped

I wouldn't say that, this could be one of the cooler rainier summers. I only turn on the a/c for a few hours late in the afternoon.

Yesterday is a prime example of JFK being hotter than ISP too, they average more 90 degree days than ISP does. It hit 80 here around noon before the clouds came back. We need more days like yesterday.

PXL_20250613_160850663.TS.mp4 The cicada bugs are out of control on the Cape... Give a listen!

One more week until fannies begin to take a bit longer to heat up when straddling car seats.

These cold rain shots drop the water temp for days. Let's get a real streak of summer.

LOL. feast or famine, .17 go 15 miles and you are at over an inch, but of course this is the typical summer rainfall distribution outside of a solid line of storms. I am sure things will change.

WB 12Z 3K NAM through the weekend.

unfortunately ...making america great means losing a lot of tracking in that regard. guess it's not an all gain none lose deal, huh -

2025 ...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 6 PM EDT THIS EVENING THROUGH LATE TONIGHT... * WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible. * WHERE...Portions of DC, including the following , District of Columbia, Maryland, including the following areas, Central and Southeast Montgomery, Charles, Prince Georges and St. Marys, and Virginia, including the following areas, Albemarle, Arlington/Falls Church/Alexandria, Central and Southeast Prince William/Manassas/Manassas Park, Culpeper, Fairfax, Greene, King George, Madison, Orange, Southern Fauquier, Spotsylvania and Stafford. * WHEN...From 6 PM EDT this evening through late tonight. * IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - Showers and thunderstorms will increase in coverage late this afternoon through this evening. Some thunderstorms will contain heavy rainfall, with rainfall amounts around 1 to 3 inches possible within an hour or two. Storms may also train over the same areas, causing the possibility for locally higher amounts around 4 to 5 inches of rain within a few hours. Heavy rainfall in a short period of time combining with already saturated soils means that creeks and streams may rapidly rise out of their banks along with the potential for flash flooding in urban areas. - Please visit www.weather.gov/safety/flood for flood safety and preparedness information

Let’s get tropical season going so we have something interesting to track

I often say Jesus after reading some of Canderson's posts.

Mid to upper 70s and fairly nice in downtown Worcester.

Sunny and 70’s today . Few showers tomorrow morning then cloudy

Sunny here so we take I guess.

Had one of our units fixed last week. $100 per lb of the coolant stuff $$$$
