Depends. If the flow is coming from the Midwest where there can be very high dews, that’s what we get.

Take me down to the Paradise City where the grass is green and the dews are drippy.. oh won’t you please take me home .

There was also the Great Smog of London in December 1952. Lasted 5 days until the winds changed directions. Estimated over 12k were killed, tens of thousands more sickened. This led to environmental legislation since 1952, such as the City of London (Various Powers) Act 1954 and the Clean Air Acts of 1956, 1968.

Maybe it will be wrong

A lot of warmth coming over the top. Some subtle signs of HP perhaps in srn Canada with a weakness over the east coast...but it's a warm look overall. If there is a door, probably 90 still inland.

Talk about a hot Euro run. Heat wave next week, but it's even hotter in the long range for the week of the 18th. We're getting a nice break here in early August, but mid August is probably going to be the worst part of this summer. We had those extremely intense heat waves in late June and late July, but they only lasted a few days. The heat in mid August is going to be much longer lasting.

The rivers are low!

I'm wondering if it can get hot underneath the telecon suggestion. That's a bad bad sign for the CC deniers ha

That's because the the site is crap now and the dewpoints are now consistently too high

and here I was starting to get worried about squirrels invading your birds' feeder lol

That solution might be more permanent than you'd like lol

Look at that August 7, 1918 Hi/Lo at NYC of 104/82, that's the stuff of legends..... Over 100 years later and NYC has not been able to match that kind of heat in August (we came close with 103 in August 2001, almost to the same date.)

Woof...that euro run. Hot hot hot.

Wild, that must have been both NYC and EWR's highest temperature recorded at the time. EWR's 105 was tied many times after this but was not exceeded until July 2011, almost 100 years later!!!

Shouldn't westerly flow be a drier flow though? I thought it was southerly flow that increases humidity, while a west wind is a downsloping wind that dries out the air?

Don, that's what I find most confusing-- who allowed the major polluters full standing to shape the outcome and why are their lobbyists allowed entry into COP at all? Was this a US position or is the UN itself corrupted as a whole and getting paid off by these companies?

turning on the air conditioning helped, even though I'm freezing now lol

That's absolutely amazing for so long ago, Tony! And wasn't the following winter, *The Long Winter*? The Weather Channel had a climatologist on who analyzed the Little House on the Prairie books and said they were based on real weather events and one of them was The Long Winter, which is based on the winter of 1881-82?

Wait, who said "dismantled" ?

Came across this which I found somewhat interesting...Arctic sea ice is currently matching 2012's pace for record low but in the Beaufort Sea (Alaska) it's actually well above the 2000s and 2010s median. Not sure what, if anything, that means for Winter but may be worth keeping an eye on.

I just stop breathing...

I mean what is getting rid of 566 out of ~4000 but dismantling? It's been a miserable stretch since February, and I haven't even had it as bad as some other offices. Thankfully tremendous public support and pressure from Congress has granted us that public safety exemption and the ability to hire back 450 positions. However that is going to come with pretty radical changes to the structure of the NWS as well. What those will be is above my pay grade, but there is more coming (not all bad necessarily). My general feel for this is that NWS knew budgets weren't ever going to get appreciably bigger. They created a plan to reorganize the operations model. The election happened and DOGE came in with a sledgehammer and forced the NWS to pause reorganization because they lacked the staff to do it the way they had planned. Now based on briefing the right people we have the okay to move forward with reorganization as long as we can get staffing back up. I don't have hard evidence of that, but I have enough pieces of information to put that together.

Canning 600 and then hiring 450. What great business. TACO Trump caves again.
