Islip McArthur Airport is actually in Bohemia which is more akin to mid island. I'm not sure that NYC would be hitting 30 90 degree day averages, because even before the vegetation issue in the late 90s and beyond, the early 90s heat was not as extended as our heatwaves were in the 40s and 50s. I think our climate is becoming way too moist to sustain 95 and 100 degree heat on the level we saw back then until we warm up to the level of Jacksonville, FL.

I'd like to limit games to three pitchers per game per team and limit rosters to 10 pitchers, the bullpens have become way too dominant and take up most of the team.

well as we have discussed, Long Island hasn't seen this increase in 90 degree days (but they have seen an increase in 85 degree days). However as Climate Changer and I discussed, with rapidly increasing averages, it's only a matter of time before we start seeing more 90, 95 and 100 degree days here with or without a seabreeze. Maybe by 2050 our climate will be like Jacksonville, FL rather than Miami, FL. Big difference. Hell Jacksonville reaches 100 degrees more than Orlando does even though Orlando is more inland and SW of there. Orlando hits 100 degrees at about the same frequency as we do. On average, Jacksonville, Florida experiences about one day per year with a high temperature of 100 degrees or higher. The last time Jacksonville reached 100 degrees was on June 23, 2022, according to firstcoastnews.com. Miami has only recorded a temperature of 100 degrees once, on July 21, 1942. Therefore, Miami doesn't typically experience temperatures reaching 100 degrees annually. While Miami is known for its warm climate, the temperatures don't usually climb into the triple digits. In the past decade, Orlando, FL has only reached 100 degrees once, in 2015. While it's known for hot summers, 100-degree days are rare in Florida. The city also came close to reaching 100 in 2022 with a high of 99 degrees in late June. In 2023, Orlando hit 100 degrees on August 12, breaking a record set in 1938, according to ClickOrlando.

Yes, I'd like to return to the era of the Mattinglies and Boggs, when we had the top hitters hitting over .350 and not striking out much. That actually might be happening now with Judge and Freeman.

It's even hotter than them in SW Nassau south of Peninsula Blvd. This is the furthest south place on Long Island (not including the barrier islands.) https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KNYWOODM8 88.0 https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KNYWOODM4 88.5

it reminds me of rain/snow lines in the winter, it would be snowing here and raining out in westhampton lol.

https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KNYVALLE15 a high of 89.4 so far near Peninsula Blvd https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KNYVALLE55 89.6 https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KNYMALVE20 90.8 https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KNYHEMPS10 92.8

Yes, this is my favorite kind of heat! I don't count the barrier islands as part of Long Island, they are separate islands lol.

Exit Velocity? Great—it went 112 MPH off the bat. But was it a hit or a loud out? That’s the part they skip. Launch Angle? That’s cute. Let’s just ignore the fact that launch angle obsession has turned 180 hitters into all-or-nothing flyball machines—producing three true outcomes: walk, strikeout, or home run. Welcome to baseball’s version of roulette. Spin Rate? That’s the holy grail now, right? So pitchers blow out elbows trying to increase RPMs instead of learning to pitch. What happened to command? What happened to working backwards? Analytics made pitchability a dirty word. Metrics Replacing Men They sold us wRC+, xFIP, and CSW%—metrics that tell us what should have happened instead of what did. That’s not baseball. That’s fantasy. Real players fail and fight through it. Real scouts see beyond the stat line.

whats with all the reds on that map lol

barrier islands maybe, not around here.

Yes, these are my thoughts too and exactly what I'm hoping for. Variability is muted but eventually the elevated averages will win out and boost maximums to extreme levels. It's happening in the West first because they have dried out. But eventually water vapor won't be able to hold us back from our fate.

80 here too and the projected high for here is also 90 with westerly winds most of the day. a great day!!

Precisely, high temperatures. I prefer a Jacksonville climate vs Miami.

Whats the difference between Miami and Jacksonville..... Jacksonville is further north but gets hotter in the summer, why?

I always had this benchmark for high heat going back to the early 90s.... if we hit 80 by 10 AM we stand a decent chance of having the high hit 90. if we hit 90 by 10 AM we stand a decent chance of having the high hit 100. It worked well in the 90s and even in years like 2010 and 2011 too, but not since then because of onshore flow =\

Man, we hate analytics, the three most boring outcomes has made the game very very hard to watch (similar to basketball). Thats a completely different topic though.

Maybe because of the warmer Great Lakes?

It's going to happen anyway, it's beyond our control :-(

I know how to cool the north atlantic much sooner than that. Melt all the polar ice and that will cool down the waters with the influx of ice water into the north atlantic. That will probably happen within the next few decades too.

Brian Wilson died I'm telling you and everyone else, anyone who thinks the people who perform today (sports, art, whatever) are better than they were, hasn't listened to the songs Brian Wilson wrote or performed. There is NO ONE today who was as talented as he was, and right from the age of 19 when he created The Beach Boys.

lol JFK beats Central Park on a southerly wind..... nice

Lanternfly numbers are actually down this year so far anyway.

How do you kill these insects? Is there a way of eliminating them so you don't have to cut down these trees?
