July 2025 Discussion-OBS - seasonable summer variability
JerseyWx replied to wdrag's topic in New York City Metro
I get that, I'm not denying that it's warming. But our summers that are more dewpoint driven are obviously going to to have higher lows as well, and the effect is more noticeable where a UHI is present. Like last night I was in the 70s where some places in the city were literally still 90 or close. -

And it still does. You have to of course get outside of the urban jungles for it to happen though. -

Our summers have always been hazy, hot and humid. That's just typical Jersey and New York climate. Yes I know that it has gotten worse, with dewpoints averaging higher than they used to, but it's not like we were ever arid like the high desert out west. -

I assume not as much as acoustic, but I still would be cautious even just for the sake of the finish being affected. -

I just picked up a new Telecaster so it lives in the case regardless lol. -

Looks like it as of now. This stretch is the classic summer weather we need. Warm and sunny with some storm chances mixed in. The fourth looks particularly incredible. That's a pretty crazy stat of yours though, imagine most of March, and then all of April, May, and June, having precipitation on the weekend. -
No you're missing the point. The UHI is why it was over 90 degrees after midnight in the city areas, where I was like 77 or so.

Urban Heat Island effect??
-
I can't imagine being above 90 as we approach midnight. It's so crazy looking at Wundermap right now around Manhattan, Brooklyn, etc. I've never experiened a phenomenon like that. Textbook example of the UHI. 79 here.
-
Now that's a good shot, as they usually are. This is particularly nice though with the contrasting blue and green. You got a long road ahead bud. We have 8:30 sunsets until mid July. The small amount of daylight lost is due to sunrises.
-
I can only laugh this morning, otherwise I'll go crazy...why is it raining? Can we literally not get a weekend without rain, is there a new rule I missed? Might as well not even open the pool if this is the trend.
-
Pretty underwhelming here, just some moderate rain at best. I feel like the strongest severe storms pop up on days when there's less risk. Today I think we were in enhanced. It's not like we need the rain anyway. Breeze kicking up now and can already notice a significant drop in humidity.
-
Another heavy mist and foggy morning. This gets my nomination for worst June stretch ever.
-
Could very well be.
-
I mean it is summer after all..
-
I will probably be fact checked, but I really can't remember a 3 day stretch (yesterday today and tomorrow) so far into June that stayed in the 60s.
-
As a whole, it's been a crappy weather year so far. So many days were either windy, grey, or had rain. Stuck in the 60s in the middle of June cannot be much worse. We got caught up in this revolving pattern where a couple days are nice, and maybe even AN temp wise, but then we pay for it with crap like this. Last year my pool was already open for 2 weeks, this year, I haven't even looked at it. I do see some 90s in the future though and look forward to July where it has to be hot, right?
-
As it should, the solstice is in a week!
-
I mean it depends, nothing major but I know last summer my area got into some decent severe. Not a snowy winter but the snow did stick around and we hit 0 or below a few times. Our area isn't necessarily prone to exciting weather per say, which I'm fine with. Hurricanes and tornadoes are definitely something we can live without, and we've seen what can happen when they do occur. I'm fine with a good snowstorm or a nice thunderstorm after a hot summer day.
