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.

It is freaking eerie out here in Jamaica. Feels like I’m breathing in smoke from a campfire.

Open the windows .. pour the smoke in while you sleep !

Heat fail with this cruddy smoke

OMG

Storms juuuuust missed my place in the western suburbs of Allentown. The cool outflow feels nice at least.

Quite the tree damage I am told Springfield VT to Claremont NH. I-91 was closed for a time. Saw this report: "You can see the path just south of mile 48. I-91 is a debris field for a quarter mile. Twisted trees snapped off that were more than a foot in diameter."

Contrast between dense smoke and n smoke along convective line in n. PA is wild

Dews have dropped a ton. Actually feels nice. 74/51.

Yeah we got it pretty good

Yes, good point referencing history. Something that gets ignored all too often these days b/c if interferes w/ hype or a narrative. Large wildfires in Canada have a cycle of 50-80 years. The dark days here in the 18th century have been traced to large wildfires in Ontario from paleoclimatology IIRC. This is the problem w/ these days, the media and politicians prey on recency bias and short memories and act like what is happening now is unprecedented or not supposed to happen. We are wired to think in human lifetime frames of reference, but that is nothing compared to climate and geological frames. Wildfires are so endemic, some species of plants have evolved to only to germinate w/ fire present The seeds of many plants in fire-prone environments need fire, directly or indirectly, to germinate. These plants produce seeds w/ a tough coating that can lay dormant, awaiting a fire, for several years. So summarily demonizing wildfires is misguided and narrow-minded. Yes, their impacts can be devastating, but that is no different that say hurricanes and tornadoes as to the natural order of things. Fire has a natural role in the environment/ecosystem and it was established long before humans existed.

Smoke hit like a freight train a few minutes ago. I don’t miss that pungent odor one bit

Missing me just a few miles to the north. I was watching the lightning in the north sky. Just some sprinkles here.
