I hope so. We need to get a string of dry weeks in here. The tick numbers are crazy high right now. Luckily with the cold recently, the mosquitoes aren't as bad, but that will change too I'm sure.

The noon dewpoint of 28F was the lowest on record for the month of June at Fort Wayne, and the 30F dewpoint at 5 pm yesterday matched the record low. Unfortunately, there is clearly some bad data here.

Just look at the results for a "red sun" search query... this is across multiple continents now, with strange optical phenomena being observed as far as Ireland, London, and continental Europe. Seems odd, no? I don't recall anything like this occurring until recent years (2017-2019, and on). I know there were some big wildfires in Quebec in 2002, but that was a big-ticket item and not something that happened every year. red sun - Search / X

Haven't found an explanation for what caused all of the fires. Weren't you asking just a few days ago? This should be a moist and green time of the year. Seems odd for uncontrolled fires to be breaking out in early June, rather than earlier in the spring or in the late summer/early fall, no?

lol. what?

Tue should get to or exceed 80 for most of NJ / NYC metro as it looks now. We'll see next week with frontal boundary / clouds otherwise once to Tue could be 80s.

I posted this in the Spring Banter thread. Very cold this morning, with several record lows. And some locations not far from all-time monthly record lows. Have to wonder if the widespread pall of Canadian smoke, which somehow has seemingly spread to multiple continents, isn't causing a volcanic winter like effect?

Congrats.

Look at this. I haven't seen several 20's dew points in June, other than the high country, you know, high plains and Rockies, or behind the dryline with the continental tropical air. What we see here is from polar air.

Canadian is freaking hysterical.

Very impressive cold this morning, as low as 35F in southeast Ohio and 32F in suburban Pittsburgh. I am speculating on my X account as to whether these Canadian wildfires could be causing a volcanic winter type scenario. AI suggests "natural" wildfires should have a net warming effect, but that begs the question as to whether these fires are natural. Weird optical phenomena (red sun, visible sunspots) are being observed on multiple continents from all of the lofted smoke.

Very impressive cold this morning, including a record low of 28F at Bradford. I'm speculating on my X account as to whether these Canadian wildfires could be contributing to a volcanic-type winter scenario. AI suggests "natural" wildfires should have a net warming effect, but that begs the question as to whether these fires truly are natural.

it reminds me of a movie-- Dante's Peak, I think?

I'm just glad we are only going to get the typical scattered showers/thunderstorms and not any more of these evil closed off lows.

Oh we saw it last year in October even from the city, you probably saw that one too, it was even at a decent time (around 7-7:30 pm), great sky conditions too since there was 0 rain in October last year and barely ever any clouds lol.

I think we are going to average out closer to average than not over this time period. I see heat building, but still persistent storminess. It looks muggy some of the time. Here in northern Westchester/Putnam it looks like 3 days in the 80s this week peaking on Thursday but mid 70s for the weekend. Next week looks like 70s too for the first part of the week. Depends on the area. Tomorrow will be mid-70s for most of the forum. Weekend looks like 70s and humid. And maybe struggling to reach 70 next Wednesday. It isn't screaming hot or well above average like I am hearing.

I guess she said burn https://youtu.be/LCnebZnysmI?si=y3IBOGCFMUd1KVEW

Nope. Need a Carington level event to get through the light pollution.

Good song

So looking east from the Cape, there is smoke on the water from a fire in the sky.

Hey now, I relocated to here a year ago. I have experienced a CT summer already. I know that it can and does get into the 90s, I just got the impression from last year that it wasn't something that happens a lot in a given summer like it does where I came from (and last summer was above normal, apparently?), so already being hit with this at the beginning of June is yucky. Just hope my A/C can keep up with it. I can't afford to get a window unit for my bedroom right now.

WTF was with that one dude walking up to the crater rim while everyone else is running down lol

Cool start to June, 40s here last night.
