Yeah, moving the ASOS into the shade in 1995 really skewed the values. In the roughly 30 year period since 1996 NYC has had only 461 days reaching 90 vs 817 days at Newark and 631 at LGA. The previous 30 year period from 1961 to 1990 featured 550 days in NYC with 689 at Newark and 410 at LGA. Harrison has become the new 90° day leader across the area surpassing Plainfield from 1961-1990. 1961-1990 # of 90 days EWR….689 NYC….550 LGA….410 1996-2024 #90 days EWR…817 LGA…631 NYC…461 Data for January 1, 1996 through December 31, 2024 Click column heading to sort ascending, click again to sort descending.

We knew you wouldn’t offer pat on back and admit defeat. Happy Mothers Day

All I've got to say is that I'm not looking forward to another week long multi day rain event, but this week to be a repeat of last week with rain chances from Tuesday into next weekend. Ugh... The dark and drearies are not good for someone battling depression.

Congrats Stephens City? Do we believe that?

What a day today. Happy Mother’s Day.

Lot of confusion and beer it seems yesterday.

It's interesting to see the junk science/propaganda that circulates among climate deniers. Sure you can choose a yaxis that minimizes warming. Expanding the yaxis shows there's a close relationship between temperature and CO2. The chart is misleading for another reason. We are far from experiencing the full effect of CO2 yet. Temperature lags CO2 for 2 reasons: 1) It takes a long while to warm the ocean, melt ice sheets, shift forests etc.; and, 2) man-made aerosols have masked CO2 warming. Before 1970, aerosols masked almost all the warming from CO2. In the last 15 years we stepped-up the unmasking, mainly due to air pollution controls in China and on shipping, and temperature has responded. The other scientific message implicit in the denier chart. We don't need much of a rise in temperature to change our climate. A 1% change in absolute temperature will send us back tens of millions of years to a completely different world. Contradicts all the denier talking points which portray CO2 as a "trace" gas with minimal effect. The atmosphere already contains more than enough CO2 to change our climate.

0z a bit wetter...gfs seems to ba a bit flippy floppy right now

5.1

What's interesting about global temperatures for the last 27 years, is that we've had mostly La Nina's. 14 La Nina's 8 El Nino's If ENSO was closer to even in that time, it might have been an even warmer global temperature

I'm not saying that it has a lot of value.. the DJF composite probably maxes out at +0.1, which is a 55% chance of something happening. I do think that a "rogue PNA", one that is not accompanied by ENSO or ENSO changes does have a higher likelihood to even out.. But we are not seeing the same consistent Aleutian High pattern so far as 2020-2024, so we'll see..

GFS trash dawg, go with the KFS/Euro combo on this

Highs today Downtown Los Angeles - 99 Long Beach - 95 LAX - 81 All are record highs.

I think it will probably happen again. WX/PT

It would take a microburst over Central Park taking out a bunch of trees.

Yes, those were the last ones with extended heatwaves. That NWS longest heatwaves page is a great guide to how our summers used to be. We didn't see extended heatwaves like that even in 2010 although it had the most 90 and 100 degree days I've seen.

Along with 1995, 1999, and 2002. WX/PT

They don't have the money to cut it huh? I still don't see that heatwave from 1953 or 1993 ever being equaled. 102 in September is absolutely unreal lol.

Not quite. Similar in some ways. WX/PT

Same with Newark. No difference in the ridiculousness.

Same. And the Silver lining in this wet stretch is the dark green lawn.

Yep, lots of rain recently. The issue just gets worse and worse every year as the instruments get further buried in foliage.

the GFS has been moving that midweek deal north each run.. lets see what 0z has

Check out the 18z GFS.
