Pretty strong Ambrose Jet on Friday keeping the LI temps down compared to NJ especially South Shore.

Woulnt buy the mostly clear on a day winds go a bit onshore(ish) Still looks clearer

I arranged it!

By the way humans aren't the only species who geoengineers. If blue green algae (a type of bacteria that was the first to photosynthesize) didn't geoengineer none of us would be here today.

it's not really, all these projects for taking carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere are also geoengineering. Come to think of it, humanity has been geoengineering since civilization began.

The full moon is on the same night as the peak of the Perseids? Why does that always seem to happen?

90 here yesterday at 4:04 pm and then an unexpected heavy rain shower a few hours after that lol.

Yes this is ending up as my hottest summer since 2011. I hope we don't have a rainy end to summer like we did then =\

I just want this summer to end quickly.

I can't stand sauna weather either. Today is such a nice respite.

Lucky, where you live it's much more likely, NJ gets like 2-3 or more 100 degree temperatures almost every summer. A completely different climate compared to here =\

I thought it was supposed to be mostly sunny today

Chris, we had a late high of 90 here at 4:04 pm yesterday also under partly cloudy skies. And then we had an unexpected heavy rain shower around 9 pm last night, a frontal passage?

Nw Bnswck: 102 (1980) Lows: EWR: 56 (1944) NYC: 58 (1890) LGA: 62 (1956) JFK: 59 (1966) New Bnswck: 51 (1944) Nice to see a record from 1980, I assume, NYC's record before 2011 was from 1980 on this date? Note how 1944, 1966, two of our previous hottest summers, were on a cool break on this date.

It’s not a cold look, but not sure it’s overly dewy.

and to think on this day in 2011 we had one of our all time hottest days ever.

1993: The levee, holding back the flooding Mississippi River at Kaskaskia, Illinois, ruptures, forcing the town's people to flee on barges. The incident at Kaskaskia was the most dramatic event of the flood. At 9:48 a.m., the levee broke, leaving the people of Kaskaskia with no escape route other than two Army Corp of Engineers barges. By 2 p.m., the entire town was underwater. a historic summer in so many ways 2011: A low of 82 degrees Fahrenheit on the 22nd at Norfolk tied for the second highest minimum temperature ever recorded there. Also the highest temperature for 2011 was 103 °F at Norfolk and 102°F at Richmond both on July, 22nd. (Ref.NWS, Wakefield, Virginia - A Near Record High Minimum Temperature for Norfork) one of our hottest days on record! Highs: EWR: 108 (2011) NYC: 104 (2011) LGA: 104 (2011) JFK: 103 (2011)

It was a nice cool morning for this time of year. Detroit got down to 56F but Ann Arbor hit 46F. So Detroit was closer to a record low this morning (49F) than they will be to a record high Thursday (105F). Why do I bring that up? I saw a post last night (not here) that the "extreme high temps" Thursday have happened before but are more likely in todays climate. I mean, really? You want to talk about something, talk about the oppressive humidity, which would already have been bad enough but will get a boost in the midwest from peak "corn sweat" season. But a forecast high of 93F on July 24th is news? For comparison, Detroit has hit 95F or higher 315 times since records began in 1874. (yes, I know itll be worse to my south as it usually is, but again, Im concerned about my temps, not elsewhere lol).

Missed most of the rain yesterday just 0.04”. The front today has been quite pleasant after some early morning showers that didn’t amount to much but our temp has actually stayed steady near 79 degrees and dew point has finally dipped below 70 with a steady NE breeze

Is there even such a thing as a growing season in the Sarnac Lake area? Lol

This is actually how summer is supposed to be, some extremely hot days and some below normal cooler days. Also note that Central Park has no triple digit highs at all between July 24 and July 30, this Friday is a chance to break that.

Friday is our hottest day and a chance of 100 even at the coast, Saturday still very hot but probably slightly *cooler*

And some say we don't get air masses like that anymore lolz...

Got down to 55 this morning. I saw a few GaCo obs in the 40s; was hoping to see that, but regardless, spectacular day today.

Rayleigh scattering up the Ying Yang! Got to be a top fiverr. Best?
