Yes I've had red roses since early May and now both red and gold but they keep either sagging or breaking from the rain and wind.

I'm not going to shut up though the rain can go away and stay away for a few weeks or months. People know how to water things themselves.

2016-- I think was more humid than actually very hot, less than 30 90 degree days but over 40 75 dewpoint days here. It's good that we are going to get into a drier pattern starting on Sunday, the heat can wait until June 20th, but getting rid of the rain is of vital importance right now.

ha true, 2018 is a case in point. this also greatly damages our gardens because we get the inevitable killing freezes in March (and a lot more than that in 2018).

The old saying.... *April showers bring May flowers* needs to be adjusted to *April and May showers bring flooding and perhaps June flowers*

Yes it seems to be happening more frequently now, for whatever reason. I can't wait until we get back to the drier warmer Mays we used to have. The only good summers we had out of any of those years were 1995 and 2002. 2002 actually gives some hope, although we already had big heat in April that year.

Just be glad we've banned fracking in NY/NJ

That one we had last year was awesome and timed well with the solar eclipse lol Just like the one we had in 2011 that happened just before Irene.
-
looks like it was more of a Suffolk County thing although the Rockaways being out of power means it was bad here too, I just don't remember it. What I do remember is that big November tornado outbreak we had a few years ago-- 8 tornadoes on Long Island including one in my town, my power went out for 4 hours and I was freezing lol

I enjoyed the 4.8 we had here a year ago, it was fun.
-
unfortunately this shift to cold crappy rainy May weather was rather unexpected. Drier springs were MUCH better. The only other time I remember getting a May like this was 1992 and that was when Pinatubo was influencing the climate.
-
unfortunately are becoming more common and were not like this before the 90s they are a plague on the weather here. 1.5C isn't that much
-
this weather belongs in Ireland is this climate change? Take it back, I want my hot weather back!
-
I used to work near West Babylon, the power is always iffy there.
-
cant wait for classic heat

JFK: 99 (1969) earliest 99 at JFK and only 99 in May

Occasional Thoughts on Climate Change

That must have been during that tropical storm that we were on the east side of (the windier side).... 80 mph winds widespread on Long Island. A giant tree fell in the Rockaways and caused a ton of damage.

the 1940s and 1950s were really something for big heat, in addition to the extreme heatwaves of 1944, 1948, 1953 and 1955 we also had this stunning number from 1949 https://thestarryeye.typepad.com/weather/2012/07/a-history-of-triple-digit-heat-in-new-york.html In the ten-year period between 1948-1957 the temperature hit 100°+ in seven of the years. The most consecutive years with a 100-degree reading is four, occurring between 1952-1955. The second longest streak happened relatively recently, the three years between 2010-12. And in 1936 and 1937, both years had 100+ readings on July 7 and 8. The earliest 100-degree day was June 26, 1952; the latest on Sept. 7, 1881. Not surprisingly 70% of the 100-degree days have occurred in July. Despite the bulk of 100-degree days in July, none has ever been reported between July 24-30. July 21 is the day most likely to have a triple-digit reading. They've occurred six times on this date. Next most likely is July 22, which has seen 100 degrees+ in four years. (July 18 is the day most likely to have a 90-degree day.) There have been two three-day streaks with highs in the triple digits - Aug. 26-28, 1948 (103-101-100) and July 8-10, 1993 (100-101-102). Finally, fourteen years got very close, but didn't reach the triple-digit threshold, with their hottest readings peaking at 99°. 1949, in addition to two days in the 100s, had three days with highs of 99°.

The most consecutive days with highs of 95° or hotter ("super" heat waves) is eight, in 1944. There has also been a streak of six days (in 1953) and seven that were five days in a row. The last time we experienced a "super" heat wave of five days or longer was during the summer of 2002 (which is the only one among the eight lengthiest to have no highs in the triple digits). This is the record I find the craziest by far, we don't even get 7 + consecutive days of 90 + anymore, let alone 8 consecutive days of 95 + 1944 really stands out.
