  1. I'm confused, shouldn't the smoke be coming in from the north?
  2. it's not that bad here right now, just like a slight haze.
  3. 1983 and 1991 and 1993 and 1999 and 2002 and 2010 were extremely hot for you guys too
  4. I noticed the 1940s and 1950s were pretty high around your area too. Then a second spike in the 2010s. I think the increased dew points means fewer 90 degree days in the new era. I don't have NYC numbers for 90 degree days offhand, but I do know that the 40s and 50s were peak 90/100 day weather here, with a nod to 1966 being the hottest year in the 60s. Then we had another peak in the 1990s.
  5. Yes, I think 100 degrees could get to JFK, on a WNW wind JFK is the regional hot spot. Tuesday too.
  6. wow 1993 was full of historical records all over the country!!! 1993: Pueblo, Colorado: Record high for date, 101°F and record low for date 52°F, set on same day! (Ref. WxDoctor) The Great Mississippi River Flood of 1993: Rising water stopped all rail traffic through Kansas City, MO. A tornado moved along a 4 mile track across parts of northwest Scottsbluff, NE. The tornado destroyed a furniture store and about 8 homes, with about $3 million dollars in damage. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)
  7. Hopefully that extends to our area, it seems to be a much stronger trend to our west. 40 90 degree days is a bit too much, but I want to see 30 90 degree days per year more regularly here. It only happened once here, in 2010.
  8. See, thats why it should be 100, not 98 or 99, which leaves you feeling unsatisfied. Just get it to 100 for a day or two every summer and then let it be cooler for the rest of the summer.
  9. also are we sure that this instrumentation is properly sited-- 101 to 102 seems a bit high.... how do you record max/min data on these instruments and how do you put it in tabular form?
  10. Chris how do you put this data in tabular form and when will that micronet start recording wind direction as well as wind speed?
  11. But that chart also assumes no large scale geoengineering projects will happen, which I don't think is true. Beginning in 2030 or maybe even before, we'll very likely see such projects to cool down the climate, humanity won't stand still and just let the climate warm like that.
  12. Yes, the west has gotten hotter and drier while the east has gotten wetter and warmer (warmer refers to minimums while hotter refers to maximums). But in this context 1995 is when we switched to a +AMO
  13. Bigger question is what kind of geoengineering can we do to cool the oceans back down, I envision a device that would overturn the oceanic circulation and constantly bring up cooler ocean waters from the depths. Yelling about reducing fossil fuels isn't going to do anything-- it's already too late for that-- humanity must actively start large scale geoengineering projects to reverse what's going on.
  14. Yes! I want to know how many cities/reporting sites have completed this rare duo in the entire country. And the places that did not get 50 inches of snow in 2009-10 got it in 2010-11 lol
  15. Yeah if it's going to be this hot it might as well hit 100-- of course lower dew points would be preferred too (like July 5, 1999 here which was 102/45/no idea what the heat index was at that time.)
  16. Look how much hotter 2010 was, a full three degrees hotter! All the other years are at least 3 degrees behind.
  17. I think JFK might have have a shot at 100 if that WNW wind materializes, at least for Tuesday. We would finally tie 1966 for three 100+ days if that happened.
  18. I don't think even dogs like these days lol
  19. this will be perfect, JFK is the region's hot spot when this happens!
  20. dry heat is great, 97 is useless, if it's going to be that high it should be 100 to make it memorable
  21. For like 20 minutes, we got a little less than what we got on the evening of 7/20. The sun is coming back out now.
