    JFK was definitely hotter in 2010 than it was in 1993 but that one big heatwave in July was something special.
  2. LibertyBell
    do you have a comparison of 1993 vs 2010 vs 2022?
  3. LibertyBell
    Yeah I was thinking like 1966 but higher if we can get it dry again Look at the 1966 stats for NYC we had a heatwave in June that reached 100+ and another one in July that reached 100+ On one particular day, LGA hit 107, EWR hit 105, JFK hit 104 and NYC hit 103. It was also our driest year of all time, with around 26 inches of annual rainfall. Imagine if that happens in the current era what the temperatures would be like? 2011 was wetter and even with that the temperatures were the same or higher than they were in 1966 On one particular day EWR hit 108, NYC hit 104, LGA hit 104 and JFK hit 103

    ah maybe for NJ, but last summer had very few hot days here, maybe they do better on southerly winds there. Our temps don't rise above the 80s here on such winds.
  5. LibertyBell
    mean temps probably because we live in a more moist world now, but 1993 had the highest number of hot (90), very hot (95) and extremely hot (100) days I've ever experienced until 2010 came along. In this area, it needs to be very dry and get an offshore flow to get it very hot. We can't get very hot on a southerly or even a southwesterly wind.

    I lived through 1993 so I definitely it is on my shortlist for hottest summers I've ever experienced. 1983, 1993, 2002 and 2010 are the summers that make the cut.

    What I don't like is that drying out seems to be getting pushed back. However, because of the SE Ridge, the rainfall has been underperforming for the coast and we are seeing more sun than was previously forecast. I would look for the ridge to get stronger when we enter summer and that would shift the rain even further to the west.

    I'm glad it's mostly sunny today and it should be tomorrow too and through Tuesday or Wednesday at least. Let's celebrate Memorial Day weekend right now lol

    The thing I am noticing with climate change is that the changes are extreme and not linear. Notice what's going on with California. They go from historically dry to historically wet and then back to historically dry again. I believe the true calling card for climate change is more extremes, not linear changes, so we will be extremely wet for awhile and then extremely dry and then back again, just like what California has been experiencing.

    Because it's much more than just a *warming world*
  11. LibertyBell
    and we would start to dry out too :-)
  12. LibertyBell
    People think a *warming world* will only make linear changes, but it's called climate change and not global warming for a good reason, many different things are going to happen. I am 100% sure we will shift to a predominantly westerly wind pattern with time and get our hot and dry summers back. These things go in cycles, even with climate change involved.

    LGA: 41 (1983)JFK: 43 (1983) wild how cold it was so late in the season in 1983 and everything flipped in June and we had a historically hot summer and even September, one of my all time favorites.
  14. LibertyBell
    Good lol
  15. LibertyBell
    If you were in better shape you would not mind the heat. Humidity I agree on.
  16. LibertyBell
    we need to suck water vapor out of the atmosphere
  17. LibertyBell
    well at least we hold it off Sunday-Wednesday Thats going to be my Memorial Day weekend lol
  18. LibertyBell
    sunny and cool for most of next week is going to be a fun experience.
  19. LibertyBell
    such a nice day, lots of kids playing outside.
  20. LibertyBell
    Seeing the sun out is so nice though.
  21. LibertyBell
    Sounds like what happened to me a few years ago at my other house. I don't like severe weather anymore either. I had to replace the roof and my balcony.
  22. LibertyBell
    it feels like they're a bit alarmist lol
  23. LibertyBell
    I guess that's moderate, but definitely a much better day than yesterday. Great t shirt weather.
  24. LibertyBell
    It didn't feel like it here, I felt a cool breeze with the sun out around 2:30 - 3 PM when I was outside.
  25. LibertyBell
    Nothing worse than rain and high humidity. The forecast busted here today it's been drier less humidity and mostly sunny FINALLY.
