All Activity

Kind of too late I think although the hottest portion of summer is historically ahead of us. I met 2 friends for dinner last Tuesday. I usually walk but after I parked my car in my secret free spot, I started walking and realized it was really dumb to try 3 miles with the temperature over 100 and the sun still blazing. So the Green Line was right there at Coolidge Corner and thankfully the ac was working. I decided to get off at Kenmore and walk the half mile to the restaurant. I noticed there wasn't anyone older than 4 decades younger than me on the street. I walk 5-8 miles every day and I felt the half mile walk. As soon as I walked into the restaurant someone handed me a cold glass of water and a seat at the bar. I walked back to Kenmore after dinner and took the Green Line back to Coolidge Corner and then drove home. I still went out to walk a few miles close to midnight with my wife. Temperatures were still mid 80s even in my hilly leafy neighborhood. Last week was close to as crazy hot as it can get around here.

Just my usual reminder to NYC forecast contest regulars to get a forecast in on Monday 30th. And have a great 4th of July everybody.

Highs: EWR: 95 ACY: 95 PHL: 93 New Brnswck: 92 TEB: 92 JFK: 92 PHL: 93 ISP: 91 TTN: 91 LGA: 91 BLM: 90 * no intra hours highs NYC: 89

PDO is quickly going deeply negative unfortunately. Doesn't bode well for Winter. Just as it appeared we were finally coming out of that long -PDO stretch, for whatever reason it comes roaring back.

Hp overhead appears to be the culprit to a degree. Unusual for there as you're generally in a prime area for popup Afternoon and Evening Storms.

High yesterday and today was 92. No rain.

Noticed the fireflies here tonight. Definitely more than I've seen in recent years. Comfortable evening...68/65

I'm not in a rural area by any means, but I still try to create an environment that doesn't disturb nature too much. The last two years I've had a resurgence of fireflies, rabbits, and pollinators. The fireflies have had a banner year so far. Not sure how much my mowing habits contribute lol.

Course was in good shape and I shot an 89.

85/55 would be my preference.

A single bat eats thousands of insects per night. Fascinating creatures too. I just don't want them in my house. Lol

Gulf or SE coast remains worth watching. The signal for genesis is still there with the GEFS focused in the Gulf and Euro focused off the SE coast. Either could be right.

We usually spray our yard like once a month and it does the trick. But if you happen to go in the woods around here past 6, forget it..it’s bug city! We did have a truck with one of those giant fog horns in the back spraying a little more than a week ago but it really hasn’t done much good around here. That 6” deluge back in May has led to some massive spawns in recent weeks, along with any smaller events since then.

Not even close.

92 for the high today.

Urban flooding in old Town winchester. Some crazy videos on Facebook. PWS shows 2".

I saw a couple when I was out with the dog, one landed on the leash. I just hate the deer flies.

Dragon flies are your friend, They even pick off the horseflies too, It was a mostly cloudy day here with a high of 76°F, Looks like a warm week with some showers up here.

I’ve seen a few dragonflies so far this season. They will start growing in number.

So did I. Figured it was a bit further away seeing as it was sunny outside then, lol
