Not too bad If you're out of the wind. Might even get into the '60s later this afternoon.

Don’t know if someone in my neighborhood is burning or is that wild fire smoke I smell?

Please post your June 2025 observations and other current or recent conditions. @jburnsplease pin. TIA

Sounds about right. For now the heat is almost always going to be over the top. WX/PT

Peak heat could be later in Jul - and focus in August but suspect we follow an overall above normal temp wise and likely rain - wise. 90 degree days range id expect EWR / C-NJ , NE-NJ : >30 days NYC: 20 days LGA: >25 days

That smell is woodsmoke on June 1. God I hope we can flip the minisplits from heat to AC this week.

There have been several In Jul 2016 LGA had 13 of 15 days above 90 with a streak of 9 straight with 5 straight highs of 94 coupled with a 98, 99. 2022 LGA has 6 straight 95 +. There has been that onshore component the last 4/5 years limiting head east of the Hudson if the (we) is NYC/LI.

If there is again a very hot summer like the summers of 1983, 1993, 1953, and 1966 I believe it will occur when we are in a drier less active phase which might be one of the next two summers not this one. This summer all indications point to frequent cold fronts and low pressure systems whether they be tropical or not moving across the country from west to east or or out of the Gulf Of Mexico. This summer we can look forward to lots of onshore breezes, marine layers, and mid-upper 80s. Parts of Canada could be hotter than NYC. WX/PT

Yes. I can't fault a doctor making an honest income, but anything related to the medical field has an inflated price. Syringes, masks, any piece of plastic...

Probably better earlier. Apparently it peaked this morning so the West Coast got a show. Who knows what'll be left. Enough that it will likely screw us up.

The smoke is moving in this evening to obscure sky viewing lol

We were 27° in May 2020 with a record 5 days in a row of snowflakes. That same 1953 heatwave (Aug-Sept) is Detroits longest on record as well. The most deadly was July 1936. Summer 1934 and 1955 were unbearable. I could go on lol.

Smoke coming north now cue Smoke from a Distant Fire - Sanford-Townsend Band

The sky would be lighting up with the northern lights like last October right now but alas it's daytime no way of knowing we get these parameters at night.

60, with a chilly breeze. Garbage for June 1

This is not nice for June 1, sorry. It’s windy and barely touching 60

I was at the wharf in falmouth on the water for a surprise engagement party and the wind was crazy

Because New England sucks

GSO was super wet in May, with over 7.53“ of rain. It was only .6” below normal in temperature, despite many of us using the fireplace or furnace as late as this morning. The highest temperature was 85, the lowest 47.

It is ongoing now at G4 but the Bz is north. We will see how much it holds through tonight and if that number shifts.

Looks like the peak for us is 11 pm to 2 am based on this table We're UT-4 (because of DST).

The new ones have failsafes that work no matter what the circumstances are. No human intervention needed. Esp. The micro plants that Amazon and Google are using soon.

Once we have fully safe nuclear power plants with safeguards in place to prevent a meltdown even during a natural disasters will solve a lot of our problems.

Not sure if the ones that ran the place shut it down? Government pressure shut it down, I think? Nobody wants a nuclear power plant in their backyard. Some say it is not wise to have such plants near extremely densely populated areas. That is a point to consider. Remember, nuclear power plants are run by people. All you have to do is drive, or just interact with people on a daily basis and you realize that the unthinkable can happen. In general, I think we are getting sloppier. In theory, nuclear energy sounds great, but between regulations and government intervention, the price to produce electricity tends to be higher. Plus the endpoint storage has still not been settled. In my naive mind, I would think that each nuclear facility would be a target, just for the nuclear waste alone. Yucca Mountain sounded like a good idea, but even the 7 people who live in Nevada do not want the national nuclear waste depository there. To me, there is no negative side to storing it there. Naysayers will point to fault lines and earthquakes, but wouldn't the waste still be contained?
