Some stations in NJ just set their May monthly maximum high temperature when they hit 100°. In early July multiple stations were within a few degrees of their monthly max for July and all-time high. Last June Baiting Hollow on Eastern LI reached 103° far from any urbanization and may have been the highest all-time temperature for that area. So all stations regardless of how urbanized they have been experiencing record heat. But the drier pattern from the 1940s to early 2000s produced monthly maxes in August and September which haven’t been matched. Probably related to the early extreme summer heat in recent years turning wetter as we move into August and September. But you will notice we had all-time record October heat as recently at 2019 in the mid 90s. That was the result of a flash drought which developed later in the season. But February 2018 was probably our most extreme of any month reaching 80° for the first time at the areas away from the cooler ocean influence. A summer extreme of that magnitude would give the usual warm spots a reading in the 110° to 112° range.

How much smoke are we dealing with? Sun looks pretty orange and sky is milky white.

Lots of smoke this week. Wonder if it will affect temps at all like last time

Likely get some shredded mess of an old tropical system.

Hope not

Heading to Hershey park today. Line of storms moving toward that area already.

Looks like a good day for storms for Frederick and Glen Burnie. Probably not a good day for storms anywhere else. Book it lol

Will it rain again this month?

I watch his as well.

Glad you posted it and not me! Lol

Dews dropped towards dusk and overnight Pleasant out now, low 60s with dews in low 60s.

Not a drop of rain yesterday

Seasonal model forecasts for super El Niños usually have warmer temperatures across Canada and the Northern tier states into the Northeast. So in that general sense they usually end up correct. But they haven’t been correct with the magnitude of the warmth. Spots that wound up with +10 or more months have only been forecast to be something like +1 to 3 or maybe +2 to +4. Plus each of the 3 super El Niños since the late 90s had other variations in regard to where the ridge axis was located vs forecast. 1997-1998 was our only east based event of that era with a strong +PDO and no Maritime Continent forcing. But it started out cooler in the East during December and got progressively warmer during January and February. So it didn’t follow the general El Niño progression. It also had a strong -AO in January that linked up with the Southeast ridge even with such a strong STJ. The models had the stock El Niño composite for December 2015 as late as November 2023 with warmer north and cooler south. We wound up with the warmest December on record in the East greater than +13 in spots which were forecast to be something like +1 to +3. Strong +PDO that winter and a Maritime Cintinent influence in December 2023-2024 was forecast to be only something like +1 to 3 for places which verified more than +10. The event had a -PDO with Maritime Continent influence. This event is stronger than all three of those events. So the models probably won’t start showing the actual December pattern until into the first week of December. The January pattern probably won’t begin to show up until closer to New Years. And the actual February pattern until that month starts also.

If only it was all 4 hours earlier.

In about 5 months You'll be sayin it is f'n cold out, so enjoy this warmth while it's here. Soon the warmth will fade and the changing of the seasons will awaken the great Blizz.

58F for the low, feels much better than 74F. Slow progression downward with the temps and dews this week

Woke up to some nice garden variety plus, glad to see round 2 delivered some illinois tors

Whatever is causing these multiple days of 90 degree heat... I'd officially like to stop. Until June 2027.
