Go back to the satellite imagery and you’ll see all those fires ignited all at the same time. It’s not a coincidence it’s on purpose and it’s not by campers.


.

The fires that ignited deep in the forest away from development? So all of those were set at the same time, thousands of miles apart? By who? 
 

as opposed to fires being started by lightning, which is what actually happened.

Man. If there is even a small chance of rain this summer......best believe it's gonna rain. 

Absolutely. Rainy day on the south shore. Good amount of thunder.

Are people still working on a way to try and dim the sun?  If I think of any other ways we can "cool" the planet I'll post them.

 

Continuing the shift away from fossil fuels and deforestation are easy steps. Installing rooftop solar is something each of us can do. Leasing an electric car. We can all do our part. Sure, no single person can change it themselves, just like no single soldier can win a war.

exactly-like who cares-we can't do anything about it.

We can do many things about it. We caused it. 

Lighting just cleared the beaches. No rain though 

Beautiful morning on fire island 

Been a perfect week at fire island so far. Dry, sun and upper 70s 

1.19” here. 7.79” in August 

3.70” storm total, 6.60” for the month. 

3.57” final. Solid event!

Reached 3.00" here, still raining

Edit: Actually 2.37" in rain gauge don't go by radar estimate lol

Radar estimate for this one is actually pretty close to accurate and maybe even a bit low. Very efficient rain maker. 
 

2.95” here, will end up over 3”. The short term models nailed this event. 

2.06”. 

Seems like it’s a manageable event. 2” for most areas and nothing crazy 

Up to 0.78” and pouring. Some thunder and little wind

Looks like the worst will miss the island with first line. Same movie playing once again. Hopefully we can get something more significant later 

You said this all summer…and were wrong. Please stop

I'm not sure about down on The Island but, there has been a mass die-off of bats in the Hudson Valley, over 95% of one species and I think high 70s for another. Bats eat LOTS of mosquitoes. The mosquitoes seem to love not having those predators in their world  It's called white nose syndrome and it's taking out bats all over Upstate.

Saw a bat in my backyard this weekend 

0.36” overnight. Sucks to see wetter weather ahead. Lots of outdoor events planned 

Beautiful day to sail. Constant gusts to 20 made for a fun day.

88 today. Was uncomfortable round of golf 

88 today

91 today. North wind so no relief from a seabreeze 

Heat advisory up for today. More humid an expected it seems. 

91 today. Quick downpour on the boat but cleared after
