All Activity

Not very often a still designated as tropical system produces TS wind gusts simultaneously in Nantucket and Bermuda- from 2 am: tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 370 miles (595 km). A wind gust to 51 mph (82 km/h) was recently reported at the L. F. Wade International Airport on Bermuda, and a gust to 47 mph (76 km/h) was measured at the airport on Nantucket, Massachusetts.

Lol

meteorological summer ends by sept 01..

A combination of both is ideal.

I can see the -EPO, the +PNA not so much, especially since it’s a 2nd year -ENSO/-PDO. Not saying no +PNA but IMO it will be limited

I still think that all of the extra water vapor/moisture around the globe(compared to a few decades ago)helps keep the summers cloudier and cooler there while keeping the other seasons warmer. Every year when October rolls around these days, the temp anomaly maps go from light blue to dark red. It just can’t cool down as fast as it used to with so much more moisture in the air. Having more open water than decades ago probably just adds to the moisture.

No

From Dr. Viterito (via JB), the person who thinks that warmer oceans (and thus GW) has been caused mainly by undersea volcanic activity: I’m putting this out for discussion purposes, not to take sides with him: Arctic Ice Comment from Dr V ..And now we have yet another research nugget that needs to be explored further. This recent article by Matt Vespa points to the fact that Arctic sea ice has not declined since around 2005. So, the Climate Change Narrative Just Took a Broadside. Want to Guess What It Was Over? A deeper dive into the data from Climate Reanalyzer paints a slightly different picture. Specifically, it pinpoints the year when the decline stopped as 2007. Here is their chart: Climate Reanalyzer, University of Maine As a correlate, the Mid-Ocean Spreading Zone Seismic Activity (MOSZSA) matches up VERY well. Here is that chart: Clearly, the "trough" in Arctic sea ice extent began the same year (2007) MOSZSA plateaued i.e., 2007!!! Too many things correlate strongly with MOSZSA: global temperatures, global sea surface temperatures, Arctic sea ice, the AMO Index, oceanic heat content, Western Pacific thermocline depths, Kuroshio intensification, and other responsive geophysical phenomena. More to follow...

is summer effectively over in the northeast?

just set it up near me. We never get thunder and lightning anymore.

Top 5'er

I hope some of the other younger players follow this lead and sign long-term. I feel bad for Adley, but whether he stays on for another year or moves on, he’ll be fine.

Correct. Here are a couple of the predictions from prominent experts during that period. One predicting in 2007 an ice-free Arctic by 2012, and the other in 2012 predicting an ice-free Arctic by 2016. Just goes to show that there are important factors not fully understood in this science, then or now. https://www.tampabay.com/archive/2007/12/12/scientist-arctic-ocean-could-be-ice-free-by-2012/ https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2012/sep/17/arctic-collapse-sea-ice#

Pole is fiberglass so not really lightning friendly... All wireless so no direct connection to the house or office. Always a risk of lightning strike no matter what I do but the overall setup is not a lightning attractor...

Sure is nice to have a stretch of nicer weather coinciding with deep blue skies.

How do you protect the whole operation from lightning damage?

and I am the class clown.

Summer project almost complete! 30' hinged fiberglass pole, easily lowered for maintenance!

the great near average august that signaled the end of climate change

the brief wet pattern we just wrapped up came just in time before the drought got too established and it looks like it will have to carry us through the end of season on the plus side, tons of s tier comfortable weather on tap

The STJ is very likely to be muted this coming winter. -PMM/-ENSO weakens the STJ

Getting a little uncomfortable out there. Dew points have crept up to the mid '40s

he's never going to relive childhood snow memories with his son. sad!
