Earlier this decade for a significant period, EWR was clearly 2 F too warm. Every month, it would be +2 higher than all the other CLI sties in the OKX CWA. The issue go beyond just UHI and asphalt runways nearby. New constriction causes artificial heat issues as well. BWI has this issue, but only when the wind blows a certain direction. This is why one can't smooth out or "THREADEX" warm biases over time b/c each CLI location has different issues over time. Probably the worst sited CLI site, at least at an airport, is PHX. Right downtown and given the massive growth of the city in the last 70 years alone? -
Probably safe to say this will be the hottest of the summer? Can’t imagine it getting this hot again with so much smoke just over the border? I mean this is just insane.
-
Damn, looks like Canada forgot to rake their forests again! -
The all time record high min for PVD is 80F from 6/6/1925. I've always questioned that particular record. It was only early June there's no way that it's accurate. The second highest on record is 78F and that was set multiple times but in the middle of summer, not the first week of June. -
NW Pac is typically very active in strong El Nino years, and so far that is the case. Most standard parameters (NS, NSD, ACE, etc.) are running about 200% of avg season-to-date, and TY Bavi will add to ACE big time in the next week.

93/74 HI 104 at 11:20

That would have to be in direct sun and even then…
-
18z GFS has a 5" max right near DC ending 12z Tue. We sure need it! ECMWF likes PHL-NYC for the big QPF max. Either way, should be a solid 3 day active period Sat-Mon.

This is 100% what summer is all about. Just like summers of yore 250 years ago. Bonnets and breeches all over the beach at Walden Pond. -

pop-up south shore zygote, too -
those NNE storms sent out a distinct outflow boundary visible on radar- through here to nearing pike - seems to be interacting with W MA storm(s) now.

I was down in Point Pleasant for a bit this evening. It was somewhat cool with a breeze on the boardwalk but hot and humid with no breeze less than a block inland.

79 now and beautiful

74/72 in McHenry 87/75 in Alexandria brutal

I think in the horrid heaters of 2010,11,12 we had nights where from 10-midnight we were still in the 90’s? Ive “cooled” off nicely from death to warm

I actually see it as purposefully using bad data, not to support climate change, but to discredit it. The point isn’t to cause fear or anxiety, the point is to cause skepticism through intentionally flawed/exaggerated statements. It takes the narrative away from the event, makes it seem like it’s agenda/hype driven, and takes away from legitimate discussion. The dupe isn’t getting you to think everything extreme, the dupe is making everyone overly skeptical so it’s okay to buy into whatever you choose to believe regardless of fact. It’s like dressing up like a clown before having a serious discussion. You aren’t trying to be taken seriously, you’re trying to get people to think that those who hold the position are clowns. -
Taking the opportunity to take advantage of these “cool” low 80’s temps to get the backyard ready for the 3rd/4th. Can’t believe it’s 81 at 10:45 at night. -
Yes it does. Look at the 390M+ ppl that live in the Middle East. Heat index gets over 140 routinely this time of year, and they do just fine overall. Have so for 1000s of years.
-
Got to 100 at the house for the first time in years.
-
Not questing it is nasty for heat index, just let's not get carried away. When big wx is going on, all too often some just deliberately "pile on" the negative b/c they know many are already in a vulnerable state of alert, fear, or anxious. Actually, these days it does not even had to be "big wx" going for this nonsense. "Run-of-the mill wx" does just "fine."
-
I am absolutely loving this show. Got about 12 mosquito bites taking this though. Little bastards
-
A whole bunch of rain if those storms start training.
-
No. - Today
-
Yeah, you’d think if the state’s HI record was 115F, the post would want to focus on all the sites above that level in this image… not the one showing an erroneous 133F. Numerous sites above that 115F level but they lose the viewer by elevating the highest outlier. -
Standing out in grass watering just now and I was fine. At 2 today I had to try and give it a go and made a little trouble for meself
