finally!!
-
Yep, right near PA/NJ border just east of Allentown. It was moving north so it could have been the reason for tornado warnings farther north too.
-
There were three tornado warnings but only one confirmed tornado, that might have been it.
-
Tornado near the Delaware Water Gap
-
This is a three month broadbrush. It could very easily be hot and dry in June and July and extremely wet and warm in August from tropical systems. That reminds me of 2011.....
-
By the way, did you know a 9th planet the size of Neptune might have been discovered?
-
the other thing is, there's also ecological collapse going on because of the chemicals we use-- they are just as horrible as climate change is and humanity has started a new mass extinction event even without climate change.
-
we better be out of this solar system long before then. Just being in one solar system sounds VERY boring anyway, we should be a galactic species in less than 1000 years.
-
hopefully we don't get any more cut offs I hate those things I wouldn't trust the Euro for summer forecasts ether.
-
it's great to see the sun again!
-
it tolls for thee, too, Ray
-
looks like the city and NE NJ like Teterboro didn't get that hot either. The heat was much more extensive back in 2010 and 2011.
-
lol probably! seriously, though, after midnight it always seems a lot cooler.
-
oh being close to the lake is what most influences your temps
-
the funny thing is over here amount of sunshine is what defines heat for me, my body cools a lot at night, regardless of temps.
-
I really don't concern myself with low temps-- I use 90 degree temps to define heat (it's also the official NWS definition to rank summers by number of 90 degree days.) Higher overnight lows are the result of more water vapor.
-
it must be a regional thing, 1980, 1983, 1988, 1991, 1993, 1995, 1999 and 2002 were our hottest summers in terms of 90 degree temps. 2010 has been our hottest summer since then.
-
I think there might be a logical explanation (from the placement of NAO phase summer vs winter to the fact that warmer SST because of a hot summer add extra juice to developing noreasters and also that warmer SST attract colder airmasses during the winter.) It sure is ironic lol.
-
Ironically we did not hit 100 here near JFK, that record from 2011 was higher here at the coast (I don't remember what the heat index was at Newark), but I know that NYC hit 104 and JFK hit 103. My personal weather station on the south shore of Long Island hit 105.6 We had a stretch of 4 summers 2010-13 that we hit 100+ every year and the summer before set our records for most 90, 95 and 100 degree days!! In July 2010 we hit 100+ three out of 4 days and 2 more times in July 2011. There was a weather conference in Baltimore around the time of peak heat in July 2011, everyone must have been like roasted lobster down there lol.
-
this is a form of self regulation by the planet.
-
most of us lived through that lol, we remember as the 90s as being much hotter (temperature wise anyway)
-
it's not ironic though many of our best winters are preceded by extreme heat. Examples 1955, 1966, 1977, 1993, 1995, 2002, 2010.
-
I think it might be tough to break them because it rains much more now. Have to remove all that water vapor (another potent greenhouse gas) and convert it to drinking water.
-
But still had our longest two week of heat ever and even hit 104 degrees in NYC and 100+ a few more times. Our climate has become a joke now, too much rain and cutoff lows which we never used to see in May before. With climate modification the first thing I would do is destroy upper level lows.
-
I let the pros grow veggies (read I buy them from organic grocery stores), but I do grow flowers and mine look like pancakes from this excessive rainfall. The first thing I would do with weather modification is put an end to cutoff lows. Showers and Tstorms that come at night after a sunny hot day are fine, not days and days of this Ireland weather crap. I'd like to know why cutoff lows are on the increase and especially in May, when they never used to happen this late in the season back in the 80s and 90s.
