All Activity

for example both Sunday and Monday topped out between 800-900 watts/m2

You know there’s a few posters here @dendritefor example that have opened their windows. Taking years off lives breathing it on like they do with the pollen

Topped out at 97F. Any chance at triple digits was thwarted when haze/smoke/schmutz moved in. 92F/DP 73F

Despite wildfire smoke, temperatures topped out well in the 90s across the region. Highs included: Atlantic City: 99° Bridgeport: 92° Islip: 92° New York City-Central Park: 95° New York City-JFK Airport: 98° New York City-LaGuardia Airport: 98° Newark: 98° Philadelphia: 98° Temperatures will soar into the upper 80s to perhaps lower 90s tomorrow. Smoke could hold down the readings by several degrees across parts of the region. Friday will also be very warm before the temperatures ease for the weekend. Showers and thundershowers are possible during the weekend. The greatest risk is Saturday night and Sunday. Highs will generally reach the lower and perhaps middle 80s through the middle of next week. The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +3.4°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was +1.8°C for the week centered around July 1. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +2.80°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged +1.52°C. The ongoing strong El Niño will continue to strengthen through the summer. The SOI was -36.56 yesterday. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was +0.104 today. Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied near 65% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal July (1991-2020 normal). July will likely finish with a mean temperature near 78.5° (1.0° above normal). Supplemental Information: The projected mean would be 2.0° above the 1981-2010 normal monthly value.

Just wake up, take a deep breath, and admire near zero visibility reaching your kitchen?

94 and smokey. We never had smoke days like these as kids. It's insane that people think this isn't a warning sign that our planet is in distress.

I look forward to the day when that shows snow again.

5 minute light shower here.

Alot of outdoor related business closing tomorrow due to air quality here on the east side of mi. Also a very light fine ash sprinkled on my truck windshield when I left work at 330 here in the thumb of mi. Never would have had that on the weather of 2026 bingo card.

Smoke is definitely better here now. The sun set looks almost normal. We had hours today like it looked like an apocalypse movie outside the office. Its 76 right and might actually open up the widows...

95 today! Tied for highest this season thus far.

after the storms pass it is mostly smokey sky conditions you can see the smoke hanging between the trees down the street temps only in low 80's with high humidity

Isn't that the guy that flip flopped back and forth and was wrong all last winter?

disgusting outside. unnerving

My RH freakishly stayed around 85% most of the aft til 5:30 pm when it finally began to drop. Yesterday mid-aft it was 45%. The temp very slowly creeped up only to 24C - not surprisingly. Off by 5-6C. Any item with fabric felt damp still as if it never aired out from the morning dew. Looking at broad radar, I suspect there is a very long teleconnection happening all the way from Dauphin MB to Syracuse NY!!! Its a thick weak band that fragments at times. Never seen anything like that.

Go España!

Checking in on new England

90/62 here in Augusta.

Did the smoke work to dissipate the storms Nada here

Its nasty outside. Very hazy and you can smell the smoke.

Yeah, that area is closer to the wildfires. Probably a new record for them. From the study below it had the AQI in NYC getting above 480 back in June 2023. https://www.rmets.org/metmatters/worst-air-quality-world-wildfire-smog-smothers-new-york

Swing and a miss again . Here comes the drought emergency

6:30pm 76/56 I just made a time lapse of the past 3 hours. It is interesting to see the smoke move to the south. https://video.nest.com/clip/c02c65ef933a48e098d7046464887f42.mp4

Turned beautiful crisp blue with low dews and great visibility up here. From like a raging bonfire to Chamber of Commerce in an hour or two.
