94/76 in upper NW for a heat index of 107.
-
pretty shitty out rn
-
South wind will screw it up - guaranteed.

I think if you took a period of record prior to the year 2000 and looked at Antarctic sea ice anomalies, you'd find they were approximately normally distributed. Of course perhaps now they aren't because there is rapid change going on.
-
Case in point - today's low at DCA was 75 after a pedestrian high of 86.
-
relative to the rest of the country, we have certainly gotten off easy so far. Although it's just kinda following the theme of the year. Nothing extreme... it's just warm.
-
You're also conflating the raw calculation of std deviation (which is divorced from whether or not the data is normally distributed) vs a recurrence interval (which requires the PDF) - and the latter isn't mentioned in the tweet.
-
show your work in claiming that antarctic sea ice extent isn't normally distributed. and you can still calculate SD/recurrence probability on non-normal distributions as long as you can construct the PDF.
-
that's your new normal i'm afraid
-
what in the fuck is going on in Antarctica...
-
Canaan is like a piece of northern Ontario here in the Mid-Atlantic.
-
Basically year round, the nighttime temps in the urban areas of the megalopolis are not that dissimilar from what you'd see in the deep south.
-
warm overnight lows continuing to do it - mid-upper 70s are routine now, even outside the cities. We basically have a Central FL climate at the height of summer.
-
smells like smoke again - nice.
-
88/77 at DCA - lovely.
-
I think part of that is the expansion of the UHI, but part of it is that our summer nights are becoming more humid. To our south, overnight lows in the 70s are routine even in rural areas bc the dewpoint stays above 70.
-
it's nice that the Metro stations all have A/C so you don't come close to death waiting on the platform, but man tonight you feel it stepping out onto the street. In NY even on the hottest nights there was a slight relief walking out of a subway station because the station temps would be well over 100F.
-
feel like they show up more in August
-
DC at 87F at 10pm looks to be the hottest temp on the east coast right now (I'm not counting Key West (88F) because they are surrounded by hot tub water rn)
-
within the past decade or so sure. Lows around 80F used to be quite rare.
-
although Key West, with the obscene 90F+ water temps surrounding it, recorded an overnight low of just 87F. Man...
-
megalopolis starting to flex the overnight lows: 73F at DCA 76F at NYC 79F at LGA 72F at BOS The ease with which LGA records lows 78-80F these days is disturbing.

lol - he posts something from one of the premier scientific institutions on the planet, and you respond with some random internet garbage.
-
lol - the US is like 5% of the Earth's surface area.
