    Oh you're going by average temperature, which includes the minimum. For summer heat, I go by number of 90 degree days and number of 100 degree days, not average temperatures. When the min is high it means it's usually either cloudy or very humid or both and when it's more humid during the day and of course when it's cloudy, the temperature rises more slowly.

    It could be, but I've also noticed the temperatures rise a lot more quickly when there's a drought. The last notable drought I remember was in 2002, which was a very hot summer, starting with that big three day heatwave in April, the grass was yellow to brown all summer.

    nice..... how close were 2010 and 2011 to this? I think they had a few 100 degree days too, I know JFK had 3 in 2010 and 2 in 2011

    the heat of March 2016 really stands out wow
  5. LibertyBell
    1993 was eventually superseded by 2010 which became our new hottest summer on record, but we haven't had as many 90 degree days since then-- although we did have a peak heat hotter in 2011. I don't see that being broken any time soon because we simply get too much rain in the summer now to match that kind of heat. We need a drought here to get over 100.

    Baseball season will start in less than a month

    wow mid 70s on this date in 1997 and then the April Fools Day snowstorm more than a month later lol

    why are we getting this cold blast when it was supposed to be nice and mild from here on out?

    They're all doing direct flights for the total solar eclipse too, I've read that millions of people will be traveling to see it.

    Do you remember the summer of 1993, it was our hottest summer on record up to that point. We all had numerous days above 100+, JFK had 2 in a row from what I remember, NYC had 3 in a row and EWR had 5 in a row. The 90s were the decade that had our most 90 degree days and also our most 100 degree days-- the summers of 1991, 1993, 1995 and 1999 were all extremely hot.

    if December is bad then thats a sign for not much snow for us too-- 2014-15 was the only major recent exception
  12. LibertyBell
    yeah it was mostly an inland winter we were on the edge of the heavier snows
  13. LibertyBell
    Definitely had some good winters since then like 2017-18 and 2020-21 but the main effect aside from the awful last 2-3 winters was a huge bump in winter time temperatures. NYC has a total of 6 DJF average temperatures of 40 F or higher and 5 of them have happened since 2000.

    But what about looking at Venus and seeing what happened there and picturing that happening here...

    And John, why is the US increasing emissions, we are out of time and this should not be done, we have reached new highs in fossil fuel extraction at record levels.
  16. LibertyBell
    then you shouldnt like it, it just means dreary soggy weather. the best weather is now!

    I wonder what the low was at KFOK

    song birds chirping all morning

    why werent there these wildfires back when we were much drier? 2002 was extremely dry-- much more than we are now and yet there were no wildfires? The grass was parched yellow all summer....
  20. LibertyBell
    Do you think we've reached a place and time where 40 degree average winter temperatures are now the norm?
  21. LibertyBell
    these are human caused aerosols? where did they come from?
  22. LibertyBell
    this is where government needs to step in and push the fossil fuel companies out the same way we did with tobacco companies. Force them to pay for billion dollar disasters until it gets to the point where they cant function as businesses anymore.
  23. LibertyBell
    It is in a sense, you cant let corporate lobbyists be involved here. This has to be a strictly scientific solution, let the scientists decide and keep the fossil fuel companies out of it. Capitalism in its most corrupt form is oligarchy and thats what happens with corporate dark money corrupting politics.
  24. LibertyBell
    But who is ultimately at fault with this John, scientists, media, government, lobbyists or all of the above? The problem with capitalism is that we are still letting fossil fuel companies be part of the solution-- we can't allow that to happen. Corporate lobbyists and their dark money need to be removed on every level.
