100 degrees with a 58 dew point and a NW to W wind is my perfect summer day !!

that doesn't address what i said

sounds like the start to a traditional English breakfast.

May I introduce you to July 9, 1993? One of my epic greatest summer days in the history of New York City! Here is the JFK record from that historic day. It was still 90 degrees there at 11 pm after getting over 90 degrees by 10 AM haha. And you thought JFK was cool ;-) https://www.wunderground.com/history/daily/us/ny/new-york-city/KJFK/date/1993-7-9 6:00 AM 77 °F 72 °F 84 % W 5 mph 0 mph 29.92 in 0.0 in Fair 7:00 AM 80 °F 74 °F 81 % W 5 mph 0 mph 29.93 in 0.0 in Cloudy 8:00 AM 86 °F 72 °F 63 % NW 12 mph 0 mph 29.94 in 0.0 in Fair 9:00 AM 89 °F 70 °F 53 % N 13 mph 0 mph 29.95 in 0.0 in Fair 10:00 AM 91 °F 66 °F 43 % N 7 mph 0 mph 29.96 in 0.0 in Fair 11:00 AM 96 °F 65 °F 36 % NW 10 mph 0 mph 29.95 in 0.0 in Partly Cloudy 12:00 PM 98 °F 62 °F 30 % NW 9 mph 0 mph 29.95 in 0.0 in Partly Cloudy 1:00 PM 99 °F 59 °F 26 % NNW 10 mph 0 mph 29.94 in 0.0 in Partly Cloudy 2:00 PM 97 °F 60 °F 29 % NNW 12 mph 0 mph 29.93 in 0.0 in Fair 3:00 PM 100 °F 58 °F 25 % NW 12 mph 0 mph 29.92 in 0.0 in Fair 4:00 PM 99 °F 59 °F 26 % WNW 14 mph 0 mph 29.90 in 0.0 in Fair 5:00 PM 100 °F 58 °F 25 % W 12 mph 0 mph 29.89 in 0.0 in Fair

Heat drives the weather, oceans store enormous amounts of heat and the western Pacific is currently where that stored heat is greatest in our largest ocean basin, so it drives the weather patterns. We may be in a long term -PDO cycle but I’m pretty confident CC is driving it to some degree. Someone who studies this more closely can definitely elaborate more.

Stop deflecting and diverting. Is it okay to study data for the existence of biases, errors, or mistakes and make the appropriate corrections or not?

what is causing the western flow up there but not down here?

That euro seasonal is a blowtorch for the country

How does the ECMWF season run , is it monthly?

NYC doing okay compared to LGA so far

83/66

The colors used to represent the temperatures are ridiculous and misleading. It's an obvious ploy to make things look as if the world is on fire. Go back to a chart made 20 years ago and the color representations aren't nearly as extreme.

Yes I remember you referenced the early 1970s a couple of winters ago as the type of pattern to look for and not coincidentally we had a streak of bad winters then too.

81 here seeing near or the same in C-N - NJ

Certainly not 3 or 4 degree annual adjustments for years in a row are not supported by any data at all!

Fake news as usual - High temp times so far this month 1st - 322p / 2nd 441p/ 3rd 434pm / 4th 2:17pm...be better my man!!

anyone getting close to 130 degrees out there lol?

Latest Euro keeps the strongest heat this summer out West with a wetter pattern for us.

why is the western pacific running the show and why isn't the eastern pacific warming as quickly?

Especially if one chooses to go back and forth. My father-in-law and I went up Hunt in August 1973. As he'd hiked his scout troop all over the AT in NNJ/SNY, the trail's northernmost 5 miles was the obvious route. He was willing to wait at the summit while I went to Pamola and back, 2.2 miles in 1:50. Next summer a co-worker and I climbed the Abol trail, shortest (and hottest!) way to the top. The lower half of the open slide section was moved into the woods some years back, but in 1974 we baked in the steep south aspect all the way. In October 1972 we visited Baxter and while my wife and 4-month-old son waited and enjoyed the scenery, I climbed about halfway up Helon Taylor, which runs from Roaring Brook to Pamola.

85.6°/68.6° at 10:30am. Gross.

Oh look more smoke.

I am not at all implying 2014 is a good Pacific match....all I am saying is that I don't think it will be a bad arctic analog...that said, I won't be suprised if get a decent look around AK next season, just not to the extent of 2014.

One aspect I've noticed over the many years of guidance behavior ...and actually have use it/anticipated it at times, is that the general model ambit will flavor a pattern like that above, or its antithesis, with surprising coherence sometimes in time ranges of D11-15, only to then lose it. In fact, the interim runs as the days then click by, even attempting to reverse the signal in mangled forms and discontinuity from run to run. All but lost. But then the original signal ultimately came back ... say D5-7, just perhaps not as amplified as the original vision.
