Would a nice strong offshore wind like we got in late June that got us over 100 degrees also make for bigger storms since the land breeze keeps the ocean influence away?

Yes this was great! I hope we get an updated PNS, we probably got over 2 inches here too.

I'm glad it rained here most of the morning, it actually feels drier now with the sun out.

the sun has come back out after it was raining all morning here lol

wow you're out there now? the nights must be absolutely awesome and with no light pollution and lots of stars!

I'm confused, yesterday was fairly hot and got up to 88 here before the clouds moved in, it wasn't an Ambrose jet sea breeze kind of day.

We're under a flood advisory now

I knew we had a lot of rain here, now we're under a flood advisory and it includes Oceanside, Atlantic Beach, Long Beach, Freeport, Massapequa, Bellmore, etc.

well if we can remove water vapor before it builds up to the point of a deluge, it's like defusing a bomb....

Yes, but it was a nice transition zone sort of like the March 1993 superstorm when JFK got 12 inches, Oceanside got 10 inches and Massapequa only got 6 inches. Divide that by 10 and you got the rainfall total from this storm lol. We got over an inch of rain here. I feel bad for SE Nassau which got much less.

No I'd much rather have westerly flow dry heat lol. the high humidity crap is disgusting, we need some geoengineering projects asap to remove both water vapor and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. water vapor can be converted to drinking water and the carbon dioxide can be deposited into sinks.

Yes June really baked, which is ironic because it started cool and rainy lol.

July 22-23 2011 had the most extreme heat I had ever seen until June 24-25 2025.

Have you seen a radar estimate map of rainfall? From what I just saw on WABC7, the green area (one inch of rainfall) extends to about halfway out in Nassau County on the south shore (to around Freeport I'd estimate), and then there's an area of 2 inches plus in southern Queens that extends down to Broad Channel and out to the Rockaway Peninsula. So this area is just to the east of that, so based on that I'd estimate we got between 1-2 inches of rain near Oceanside, probably closer to 1 inch. The south shore of eastern Nassau county had less than one inch (once you get east of Freeport.)

It reminds me of the March 1993 superstorm. JFK got 12 inches (actually more than Central Park by 1 inch), Oceanside, close to where I am got 10 inches..... but Massapequa only got 6 inches. Divide all of these by 10 (like liquid equivalent lol) and that was the rain total from this storm! Brown, really? Everything is still green here lol.

it's up in the mountains? that's topographically impossible it should be at least 5 degrees cooler than the surrounding areas because of elevation. The 103 104 and 106 east of there are more reasonable because they're east of the mountains and downsloping will heat up the air east of the elevated area.

also western part of the south shore, check out the area from around Jamaica Bay to Valley Stream and Lynbrook, those areas saw around an inch or a little more than that. Massapequa is SE Nassau about 20 miles east of here (the same distance that Manhattan is west of here lol.)

I do see a 103 a 104 and a 106 in a straight line, where was that 110 located in reference to those numbers?

where? I saw a report of 0.88 on the south shore in Nassau County and 1.09 inches at JFK, there was a report of 2.09 inches in southern Queens, we definitely got much more than 0.5, maybe less in Suffolk County, but we had a lot more than that here. I saw large puddles and even flowing water on my street between 7-8 am when it was still raining hard. I still don't see a vehicle to significantly weaken storms when the SST have rapidly warmed into the mid 70s now.

it will be interesting if the high can get strong enough again later in the summer to overpower the ocean and create another westerly flow pattern.

I live here and trust me we got a lot, I woke up to flooding it was still raining hard around 8 am. I just thought it was silly that people thought that the rain would weaken a lot when the SST are up around 75 degrees now, we got between 1 - 2 inches here.

to be honest this is the first widespread 100 degree heat we have gotten since 2013, all the years in between were nowhere near this extreme.

It's like we can't get a nice moderate rain anymore, it's either a drought or a deluge lol. Mother Nature has become our enemy now, it's probably better to have a drought and do our own watering rather than a lethal and costly flood.

I'm confused what would cause the weakening though because the oceans are extremely warm now, in the mid 70s.
