Suprised by a little downpour in lower Manhattan, really cooled off from an already moderate day. Dare I say, in late July, its actually chilly outside now.
Yeah the AQI got went from the "unhealthy for sensitive groups" category to just plain old "unhealthy." Dont see that around here much. Went to work in person near WTC and it was an impressive view from above, saw Hudson Yards become completely obscured as the day progressed and the haze/smoke get lower and lower, closer to ground level by mid afternoon.
Explains the disparity in how this summer is perceived heat wise across the area. June was hot but July has had multiple cloudy, dreary, cool (for July) days. Those breaks in the warmth takes away from that summer feel despite a few hot spells. Jersey ppl havent experience that as much.
Newark area been under the gun for a while. Must be some real flooding there. Dark skies and thunder to the SW here with occasional drizzle. Waiting for cell to make it past manhattan
Sounds right..fits the progression up I 95. DC max normal high is 90 now, for most of July. First time they ever had a 90 "normal." LGA tops out at 87 (up 1 degree). Central Park tops out at 85, also up 1 degree. I remember the normal high at the Park used to be 86 though back in the 90s
Multiple deluges. Flash flooding at multiple spots in the Bronx and beyond. Major Deegan is closed with stranded vehicles waiting for rescue. That alone causes cascading traffic disaster all around and into NJ. Plus the flooding problems on the usual suspects, Bronx River, Hutch, Saw Mill etc.
at 101 now, after a brief dip. Corona, & Tremont were 102 at one point. Also, a few traffic lights going out intermittently. Same time as the emergency alert came through for NYC, to limit all power uses as much as possible
