some peaks of sunshine but still mostly cloudy and muggy

Can you provide more in depth detail please?

Human influence/forcing "hidden in the noise of climate variability" is fanciful rhetoric that really means the same thing as Earth being capable of absorbing the human influence - all systems, whether and biology. This is academic logic really ... but still needs to be stated for a lot of population that don't get it. Species loss and species migration are happening because when the emergence out of noise became coherent, that coincides with changes occurring faster than species adaptation rates. Dead meat. Humans are not unaffected. The Serbian diaspora took place 15 to 20 years back took place because of shifting climate zones and agricultural failure over a vast region ... These are all just physically realized evidences; when the anthropomorphic forcing was still contained inside the Earth's ability to hide it in the noise, that means adaptation had a chance. I'm just saying that coherence became like a data proxy for when the detriment began. People are waiting for threshold dystopia ...but, it's more likely that a series of them, like crossing an event horizon - you don't feel anything out of the ordinary when you go across, but you don't return to the previous state - will surpass and then you'll find yourself in a "Serbian crises" When that expose happened, also marks the first threshold being crossed. When the warming becomes (attribution) discernible and differentiable, meaning it sticks out of the noise as being more significant, that is the threshold of injury.

Next Friday I have a 2024 Corvette Convertible rented for 24 hours. I don’t care if it’s 150 degrees out, but that top is going down! I’ll just have to drive faster to keep me cool.

and keep in mind my "Steintastic" was meant as an inside joke....I am not a member of the Stein Club lol...

Like balls on the side of your nose from a Roman Helmet.

My energy costs are a lot higher during the summer than the winter. During the winter we keep the home on the cool side. And we lower the thermostat when we are out. The home quickly heats up when we return home as opposed to during the summer. If we turn the AC off when we are out the home becomes very warm/hot rather quickly and it takes a long time to get back down to the temp level we prefer. .....

Agree!

Like a slow slow boob saggage that starts slowly , almost imperceptible, and then wham , they sag down all in one fell swoop?

Picked up another .29" early this morning. Is very humid today. Earlier, before the clouds rolled in, the temp hit 91 with a dew point of 79. Felt like 109. Our highest so far this year.

The only station in our area that doesn’t meet NWS criteria is Central Park.

My memory from the last few summers is most models have been overdoing high temps in the med/long range. I'm guessing we top out around 96-100F for most of the area.

at least we aint Death Valley: High 120 Low 91

You mean those who cheer for cold in the winter?

Some of the people here seem to love "donating" money to their electricity supplier...

Agree!!

Ha that didn’t last. We light rain. At least the day was decent until now.

Finally some clouds now. But a Steintastic day. Gonna need the rain soon though with this approaching inferno. Euro tries to mild down for a day on the coast Thursday before the heat returns Friday. Hell of a summer-like week. At some point either from ridge runners or a slowly sagging fropa, some good storms should pop.

You can also argue that at least some of the warming has had a beneficial impact on humanity.

Have briefly scanned 12z EC... unbelievable next week. Just have to play it conservative but as above ... am in agreement. My north Jersey senior softball (age 60-68 and 69-80+) for Tue morning... probably 250 players idled for the second Tue in a row by wet ground. Next week, heat warning may preclude a second game at 1130A and just a 10A. just for the fun of it.

we're going to need that to get everyone to join the 100+ party

Yes this is what I was thinking!! heat+dryness

now thats hot!!

no idea but it might be a combination of heat + dryness

A real possibility of going from a Friday to a Friday without seeing partial sun. Shouldn't be possible in a summer month.
