I'm hoping this May is a repeat of last May. I think we only had 1 total rainout. Looking at my solar system, last May had its highest kWh output since the system was installed in 2012.

Spittin some snow here as well this morning, mid-30's. Cool but seasonal weekend on tap but should see a fair amount of sun by tomorrow afternoon and Sunday. All in all, not bad.

How we lookin?

What was the year we had that big severe weather outbreak on my birthday (September 15th)?

In the 1990s they were sandwiched between some super hot summers so that made a difference 1991-- extremely hot, record number of 90 degree days 1992-- extremely cool and rainy Pinatubo summer (?) 1993-- back to record heat and record number of 90 and 100 degree days 1995-- very dry and very hot, lots of fires 1996-- very humid but not a hot summer, we had a 2 day streak of heat in May and then didn't hit 90 again until for just one day on the last day of August. 1999-- back to record heat, record hot July (record broken in 2010) 2002-- very hot and dry 3 day heatwave in April matched 1977 but in complete opposition to that year we went to a very hot and dry summer, JFK's hottest since 1983 and hottest until 2010.

I remember this, we had an amazing couple of years of severe weather in 2009 and 2010 and we had a lot of blocking in the winter which gave us our snowiest winter couplet in recorded history. Is there a connection between the two?

96, 2000, 2003 also had to be close.

Our top gust today is 46 so far though most gusts are the 25-35 variety. Temp is still only 49.

I remember Easter that year as being hot up here, like 90°. I was 8 years old.

It was the only June and July on record with the average high under 80° at Newark. Very unusual summer for the modern era. As soon as the pattern began to warm in August Central Park got that big microburst.

This southeast wind is going to lock us into this hazy cloud cover all day isn't it Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

It's this kind of weather that makes me wish we spent a trillion dollars on engineering the climate. But since the sun has been out this morning here it's okay

No, thats not it. It's the endless days of cool rainy cloudy weather that sucks. I love it when it's sunny for 7 days in a row and then it can be cool and rainy for a couple of days. It's nice to see when it doesn't happen too often.

We were driving our 1971 Beetle from NNJ to northern Maine that day, stopping at my BIL's apartment in Boston for dinner (meat and potatoes - a salad would've been nice.) and that little air-cooled engine was so hot that when we stopped, we could hear the pings as it tried to cool. Outside the apartment a rat ran across in front of us and tried to go into a hole by the steps but was too fat and had to back out and go elsewhere. (We were not impressed.) When we arrived home in Fort Kent, it was 40° and cloudy. After the sweaty marathon 16-hour trip, we loved it. I'll be at Pittston Farm north of Moosehead next Thurs-Sat, in time for the cool down. May see some flurries?

EWR only got to 77 then.

I don't know how you can enjoy that without any records weather gets boring lol

even here the sea breeze held off until after 2 PM so we hit 80

I thought it also hit 80 on April 9th?

I enjoyed our 80 here, we were able to hold off the sea breeze until after 2 PM

excellent-- LGA is very similar to JFK-- the top heatwaves are from 1953 and 2002.

Yes, indeed it's about New York City. Here on Long Island we've seen the same thing with the rapid increase in rainfall and wet summers, which blunt the high temperatures but make the lows warmer. JFK is what I use for that data, where it goes back to the 40s and 50s when we had some of our longest heatwaves on record.

I’m solidly on the hyperactive train for this season, but we’ll need to see what happens in the eastern Atlantic with stability. I doubt SAL is a big inhibitor this season but we’ll see. A number of the big dog seasons have meaningful activity in spite of the SAL peak mid-summer.

Snow showers moving through today. Already seen a few flakes early this morning. More convective stuff slated for the afternoon. Could see a little white on the grass, if I get hit good.
