All Activity

A lot of older trees have shriveling leaves. I’ve never seen that before here. Maples, birches, forsythia, ash, chestnuts…

I fear I'll get the you-know-what tag for this, but is there any correlation between August temperatures and December snowfall?

So, all scoring is updated, you can find both the August and the annual scoring back before the September forecast posts (which began with Scotty Lightning) ... what was the intro to September post, if you even saw that, is now seasonal max scoring, and what used to be that is now the annual update appearing after the August scores. I will add a four seasons update to the annual update in a day or two. In general the scoring was a bit down from the July point-fest, and RodneyS had a bit of an edge on the field, moving up two spots as a result. There are a few other minor changes but Tom remains comfortably in front, with 2nd and 3rd being exchanged by a few points differential (so_whats_happening edged past hudsonvalley21). Also moving up, no big surprise, a certain Don Sutherland. Meanwhile, bottoming out, well let's not get hung up on details here.

Might be a little later, but it's coming. Nothing has changed my thought that the second half of September (most likely after 9/20) through mid-October is active with TC genesis favorability gradually translating west in line with climo.

Last October I had 32 minutes of rain which measured a whopping .06” of rain, by far the driest month I have ever recorded since 2020. This May by contrast, 2533 (most in terms of time since 2020) minutes of rain for 7.06” of rain. This August was similar to last October, second least minutes of rain with 112 minutes for .88”. That 112 minutes was pure luck, cashed in on small storms on two separate days in early August. Similarities for sure between October last year and august this year….my grass looks almost the same…a little less dead I guess this year, but still pretty dead!

Now 10/60 @BarryStantonGBP

After last year's 4th hottest summer on record nationally, I'm guessing 2025 ended up somewhere in the 15th to 20th range.

0.36" for August. That was all fun and games but I don't want a repeat.

Leaves falling like early October here, been so for about a week. Mostly poplars and cherry, but a couple oaks showing a bit of color. I've already mowed/blown leaves off the yard and driveways twice.

Look at above Russia

Beautiful day today. High of 85, low of 65. Nice breeze. I'm seeing a couple 90 degree days Thursday and Friday. Zero rain in sight, getting dry already around here.

We've said it before. It's winding up like a spring again. It might be one, two, or maybe even 5 years from now, but it is CERTAIN that the global average temperature WILL go up and set a new record in the not too-distant future.

In addition, Islip ranked fourth and White Plains ranked 10th.

gabby eats out sal, guaranteed

So far the wave is pretty far south, and to the north, and west is SAL.

High of only 77.2! Low of 53.0 this morning what a day

It was wet in mid-august, but turned bone dry in September through October.

For August in a lot of locations in the NJ/PA/Deleware/Maryland area it was pretty cool and some places top 5 others top 20. Havent seen pretty much any posts about that from the typical stat heads. Very dry in the area as well.

My coldest August temp ever came in 1982 - got down to 38.8. I need to check the exact date. I believe there were Frost Advisories except for Lancaster and York counties.

Latest WB EURO weeklies for September. Looks like more perfect fall weather, although we need rain.

I can see gabby become a recurve TBH Erin but slightly weaker I wonder why the euro picked out the CAG could be mixed in with fronts I reckon we could get b2b majors

kiko may pass near Hawaii

Active Systems: The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical Storm Kiko, located in the east Pacific basin well west-southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula. Kiko is expected to cross into the central Pacific basin by the weekend. 1. South of Southwestern Mexico (EP94): Showers and thunderstorms associated with a tropical wave located less than 150 miles off the coast of southwestern Mexico are starting to become better organized, and recent satellite-derived wind data indicate that winds to 35 mph are present in the disturbance close to the coast of Mexico. This system is expected to become a tropical depression by the middle of the week. This system is expected to move west-northwestward to northwestward at 10 to 15 mph off the coast of southwestern Mexico during the next couple of days, then could turn northward and approach the Baja California peninsula later this week. Interests in the Baja California peninsula should monitor the progress of the disturbance, as watches or warnings could be required for portions of this area on Tuesday. Regardless of development, heavy rainfall is possible across coastal portions of southwestern and west-central Mexico today through mid-week. Heavy rainfall is also expected across Baja California Sur and northwestern Mexico Tuesday night through late this week. This heavy rainfall could lead to flash flooding, especially in mountainous areas. * Formation chance through 48 hours...high...80 percent. * Formation chance through 7 days...high...90 percent.

Ok Pete, reveal yourself…
