  1. Past hour
  2. Me? Are you joking? The context I provided about that chart is 100% correct. The claim that this is the “23rd lowest percentage of 90 degree days” is 100% made-up BS.
  3. No, it’s not a legitimate trend. It doesn’t account for changing distribution of stations as I stated above. There are many more high elevation sites today that seldom or never reach 90F, so, of course the percentage of days at all sites will go down. That’s not even talking about the non-climatic biases that would have favored the older era. Maybe there were more, but that’s not the way to do that analysis.
  4. Its like whatever that bozo Morgarbage says, take the opposite and you'll be nearly 100% correct.
  5. Abstract Changes in terrestrial water storage (TWS) are a critical indicator of freshwater availability. We use NASA GRACE/GRACE-FO data to show that the continents have undergone unprecedented TWS loss since 2002. Areas experiencing drying increased by twice the size of California annually, creating “mega-drying” regions across the Northern Hemisphere. While most of the world’s dry/wet areas continue to get drier/wetter, dry areas are now drying faster than wet areas are wetting. Changes in TWS are driven by high-latitude water losses, intense Central American/European droughts, and groundwater depletion, which accounts for 68% of TWS loss over non-glaciated continental regions. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adx0298
  6. Yeah, we were discussing this prospect a few weeks ago when this new paper was released. The authors have been interviewed about their findings since then. The shift to persistent 500mb ridging and SST warming across the mid-latitude Pacific may be an inherent response to a warming world which the research indicated occurred in previous warming eras for the earth. If we continue to see this block of warming and 500mb ridging continuing into the 2030s, then the new model simulation that was run could be onto something. Time will tell. https://insideclimatenews.org/news/18072025/southwestern-drought-likely-to-continue-through-2100/ But in this case, the phenomenon can last far longer than the usual 30-year cycle of the PDO. But if, as we hypothesize, this is a forced change in the sea surface temperatures in the North Pacific, this will be sustained into the future, and we need to start looking at this as a shift, instead of just the result of bad luck.” Todd was able analyze drought conditions during the mid-Holocene period 6,000 years ago, a period in Earth’s history when the Northern Pacific warmed and the Southwestern U.S. experienced hundreds of years of drought. That led to a warming of the North Pacific that was similar to the PDO that drives drought in the Southwest, but in this case, the drying lasted for centuries. “As soon as we saw that, you know, we started thinking about what’s happening today,” Todd said. Using an ensemble of historical and future climate models forecasting climate and precipitation patterns until 2100, they found the PDO-like negative phase continues through this century. But unlike the mid-Holocene period’s warming, which was brought on by vegetation change, today’s is driven by greenhouse gas emissions. Certain models revealed that the change in the ocean pattern was less about vegetation absorbing solar radiation, Todd said, and more about warming in general. In many ways, Richter said, what people are seeing on the ground is outpacing science.
  7. Hillsborough Duke only recorded .32 but Blackwell mills which is close to me as well had around an inch
  8. And just like that summer comes to a screeching halt.
  9. "Corn sweat" is the term used to describe the moisture that corn plants release into the air through transpiration—kind of like the plants' version of sweating. A single acre of mature corn can release up to 4,000 gallons of water into the atmosphere per day during peak summer heat, dramatically increasing local humidity levels. That sticky, soupy air you feel in farm-heavy areas? You can thank all that hot, sweaty corn.
  10. I finally managed to get 0.02" overnight before midnight, which was not really enough but I guess it kept me from a total miss. Still have to pull out the hose. My Upper Darby sis said they got a deluge with near an 1". After a 73 low yesterday, my high did end up being 96, making it 11, 90+ days in July so far. With the 8, 90+ days in June (with one of them being a 100), that takes me to 19 for the season at post time. Currently partly sunny and 75 with dp 73.
  11. This was the 5th 90° day of the season at Newark moving into 4th place on the all-time list. There were 4 NYC micronet stations which reached 100° also. So among the warmest stretches that our area has seen from late June into late July.
