In terms of comparing it with earlier eras when there was less concrete it makes a difference.
-
I doubt the near 100 in eastern New England works out either. If you want me to make a call this early I'd say 90-95 for us with yucky dew points between 70-75 and slightly hotter for Boston but not 100 (maybe 97-98).
-
Either way the web traffic on here is much higher when a potential heatwave is brewing vs boring 70s and sunny (although I love that weather too.)
-
This is like models cutting snowfall amounts, we all know where it's going and the trend isn't our friend lol.
-
Maybe the Yankees will finally start scoring runs again when the weather changes.
-
They should locate those sensors to the Great Lawn, unfortunately they are more worried about them being stolen than they are about data integrity.
-
I'm 100% convinced even in an open area it wouldn't be as hot as it was during the 30s-50s period. Why? Because the dryness of the ground matters more.
-
parasitic vines and weeds are overgrowing and I'm going to have to nuke everything this weekend.
-
it still doesn't explain the extreme heat we had during the 30s to 50s period as well as a drier climate does.
-
Higher dew points actually make it more difficult for the temperature to rise as quickly,. the air takes on the physical properties of water.
-
Nope, but I'm not convinced that measuring in a concrete environment gives scientifically comparable results. And it's far more scientifically reasonable to assume that the rainier climate is keeping the maxes from rising as much as the mins are. Climate change means different things for different places and obviously affects summer much more differently than winter. No reason for alarmist talk of widespread 100+ numbers which obviously aren't happening.
-
Yes and it's always the worst plants not the ones we want
-
especially ants, they are right outside my front door lol, if I get a food delivery I have to be at the door otherwise the ants attack it en masse.
-
Be careful what you wish for lol. I have seen such an overgrowth of vines (I wrote about it in the NW thread) that it's hard to open my front door or get into my mailbox. All of this happened in just 5 days. I'm going to be spraying defoliant this weekend.
-
I'm surprised it grew so fast, it wasn't anything like this last Friday, can it really grow this fast in 5 days?
-
We really needed this heavy rain this morning..... we needed it so much that there are large vines in my mailbox and blocking my front door. Lovely. I'm going to be spraying defoliant all weekend.
-
you'd love the 101/45 of July 4, 2010 a lot more and so would our power grid.
-
some of this crappy overgrowth needs to die.
-
I'm not sure how we'd live if we had another year that dry.
-
Yes, I think we're reaching a tipping point where eventually those records will be broken, even if the years are wetter. Probably for the coastal areas too.
-
That was quite an achievement during the 2010-2013 era (JFK's last time was 2013), we had drier Julys back then, Tony.
-
It rained less back then, I think there were less trees because it was a drier era. Look at NYC's rainfall total from 1966, which was one of only two years in which NYC had 4 100+ days (the other was 1953-- in the same era) In 1966, NYC only had 26 inches of rain, nowadays we get that in a few months lol. LGA hit 107 in 1966 exceeding the 106 that NYC hit in 1936 (also in the same era.)
-
it matches the 5 years in the 1991-2002 period Tony, of which 1993 is at the top. 1993 and 2010 being at the top doesn't surprise me, since they were also two of our driest years. 2022 did well to come in third place, matching 1944 and 1988.
-
Yes indeed.... did you see Miami's historical record? I was shocked they only hit 100 in their entire recorded history and that was back in 1942.
-
One can argue that trees are part of our natural environment, while concrete is not.
