Tsunami watch issued for the west coast

Goodbye, Hawai'i.

Which makes it a top tener all time. If the interweb is correct.

Historic frequency of 90° or above days at New York City (Central Park): August 23 is a statistical oddity with just 7 cases on which the temperature reached 90° or above. Only June 2-4 during summer had a similar or lower percentage of 90° days. September 7 was the next day with a similar figure. Then, the next similar or lower figure occurred on September 12.

Meh. There isn't a big difference in the 2000-25 warming rate between Philadelphia and Phoenixville: 1.00 deg/decade for Phoenixville and 1.05 deg/decade for PHL. The difference is only 5% of the warming rate and is probably not statistically significant.

It's pretty wild how cold it is getting out of Lake Tahoe on a hot summer day with that desert dry air and consistent breeze. Been decades but I won't forget that.

Nice cherry pick among the DEOS. Per chart below, there is no difference warming between the 11 DEOS stations as a whole and the Philadelphia Airport. Some are warming faster than PHL and some slower. The warming rate for the DEOS stations in the 2012 and 2024 period, when all stations were active, is 1.17F per decade. The rate for the Philadelphia Airport is 1.15F/decade. Note that the airport had a warm sensor issue in 2022, which caused a one year spike in temperatures vs other regional station. That's not a heat island effect, since it disappeared in 2023. In any case the 11 DEOS stations and the Avondale USCRN station show conclusively that Chester County is warming rapidly in recent years, over 1F per decade. Can't blame it on heat island effects either. The stations are all remote.

Hunker in

Euro has it mostly out of here by midday now
