Bet you would take 1947-48 as well.

I hate warm Octobers but I'd take the winter that followed that 2017 October.

Not quite 2017 but this will be a top five September for increase in mean temperature from 1st half to 2nd half ... I know we had some posts about this back before the increase began, and seems to me only two or three increased more than this one will. The odd thing is, 2017 was among the warmest Octobers, but so was 1947 which followed the exact opposite sequence of largest decrease from Sep 1-15 to Sep 16-30. 1891 was another September with a large increase from first half to second half. I don't think 2025 can catch it for second place but it may finish third (for increase, not for average).

What does that have to do with climate change? You're conflating issues. And many of the things you mention aren't on purpose and populations shift. For example the transplants that moved to NYC yesterday say the Cross Bronx was built in poor Hispanic neighborhoods on purpose. Meanwhile if they knew anything about NYC they'd know it was built when the whole area was mostly ethnic whites and Jews. So there's a lot of false nonsense circulating. That's besides the fact that it has literally nothing to do with climate change. 90% of climate change is happening OUTSIDE the USA borders.

A dry October with plenty of Sunny days and cooler temps would be outstanding. Bugs on the decline, leaves changing color, and perfect for hiking.

well there is a racial justice aspect to it too, as many of the most polluting factories are in minority communities, like cancer alley in Louisiana. It's not just that but the vaping industry as well as soda companies routinely target minority communities, which why the rates of asthma, diabetes type 2, obesity, cancer, etc, are all highest in minority communities.

They could just say humanity is unsustainable in its current form. The real issue with social inertia is that the vast majority of people alive right now simply do not care what the Earth will be like 100 years from now because they won't be around to see it and they have far more pressing immediate concerns. It's part of human nature to see immediate threats rather than what might happen when one is no longer around.

But this cautiousness also cripples the urgency for action.

Germany has been struggling due to the cost and challenge of building out a smart grid and long transmission lines which are necessary for wider renewable energy implementation.

Weak Nina is not the end of the world. Although I confess I have looked at nothing so far.

0.28", 2.43" month, 34.78" ytd. Pretty underwhelming event.

ji's a changed man. he was actually optimistic about the feb 19-20 thing which is super ironic

I’m disappointed I wanted to get a good soaking rain out of this.

Watch entire gfs run... it comes north after Bermuda area and seems to be deciding where to go.. north east should be watching in case this becomes a thing.

I'm happy to see some nice dry weather. The area has had plenty of rain. We have months of rainy weather incoming. Let's enjoy some sunny, low dews, fall weather. Great for hiking and checking out the fall color. I'm glad this system is headed out to sea. I can live without humid, swampy weather all week, again.

Actually can't believe we have another category 5. And in the same place Erin was. The amount of cat 5's we've had since 2016 has been mind boggling. I think we might just be normalized to it now but having cat 5's in this part of the atlantic is insane. We went from 2007 to 2016 with ZERO cat 5's. Then 2016 to 2025 with...12 cat 5's lol

If this were winter there would’ve been 10 pages of weenie crashout preceding this.

And so what? Growing season is coming to an end and it hasn't been bone dry over the past month or so (for most). Is what it is. Would you rather it be dry in the Fall, or Jan into Feb?

It certainly doesn't help that on the other side many of the so called proponents of climate change science are constantly saying the world will end next week or that they draft legislation turning what is purely a scientific matter into some type of racial justice issue. It makes the very real and solid science behind climate change look foolish and ridiculous.

If this were winter the screeching from Ji would be unreal.

It's a pending La Nina, so. . .

Is that before or after the mid January heat wave?

I suspect that public understanding is undermined more by social media influencers, such as the one highlighted in the below example. These influencers typically have no climate expertise and have no climate research record as per literature searches, but regularly and confidently contradict the literature, much of which they have never read much less understand. Today, social media is increasingly a growing number of people's first choice for information. Mainstream science is actually quite cautious in its pronouncements and often notes caveats e.g., the role of internal variability. Nevertheless, bad faith social media influencers misrepresent and distort those findings to their audiences, most of whom have no inclination to actually go to the literature for the facts.

Around September 18th.
