tied with 2010 over there for 90 degree days!! I'm shocked 1993 and 1999 aren't up there too. Was the highest temperature ever recorded there in July 2011??

Yes completely clear here now!!

Even better than yesterday (more sun, more of a breeze.)

Now next Tuesday is forecast to be hotter here than Friday because now Friday has a 60% chance of rain.

what are the highest 7 year means for NYC and for JFK, Chris?

what caused that extreme el nino?

2011: Chicago set an all-time daily record rainfall when 6.86 inches fell during the early morning hours of Saturday, July 23, 2011, at O'Hare airport. The previous daily record was 6.64 inches set on September 13, 2008. wild while Chicago was flooding, we were in the midst of a 2 day extreme bake off. Today was the second day of the bakeoff: Records: Highs: EWR: 102 (2011) NYC: 100 (2011) LGA: 100 (1955) JFK: 102 (2011) New Brnswck: 105 (2011) LGA: 59 (1992) JFK: 59 (1992) I also remember Pinatubo cooled 1992....the year without a summer (we had a quick rubber band effect between 1991-1992-1993).

Looks like we won't see dry and coolish weather like we have had the last few days until the first week of August?

1999 had one of our hottest summers and 2 of our longest heatwaves ever. I'm surprised July 2010 isn't up there at your station though.

Yes but unfortunately rainy Sunday.

What was the low at JFK yesterday and today, Chris? Here we made it to 66 this morning while it was 67 yesterday morning.

He truly was one of the most fair and truly good people I've ever known on here.

My question is why is this happening in the Pacific but not in the Atlantic? Or maybe it's beginning to now?

we're going to start geoengineering with aerosols beginning in 2030, we won't be waiting for a volcanic eruption.

Look at how the peak of the last +AMO was higher too, maybe thats why we saw many more east coast hurricanes from the 30s through the 50s and also many more long duration heatwaves in that same period (up to 1966) than we have seen with the current +AMO

wow Ray, so this a 40-45 year cycle? at this rate the next one will be around 2037-2042 lol. note that the current peak is lower than the previous peak, maybe thats why we have not seen as many east coast hurricanes (and long duration heatwaves) as we did back in the 30s, 40s and 50s? The last flip happened around 1967, and our last really hot summer in that period was 1966.

I think it will also cause more political unrest and more conflict too. There's a strong correlation between hotter weather and more violence.

It seems to be delayed, but it has to happen eventually? Maybe a modified version of one?

It's why we need geoengineering John. Blue Green Algae are/were the greatest geoengineers of all time and without them none of us would be here today.

we're already seeing those mass migrations now, it's already happening

Yes, the key word is *gradual* and it's not just our need to adapt but the need for the entire food chain to adapt too. We have had both a hot house Earth and an ice ball Earth in the past but the changes always took place over millions of years.

I wonder how well this is verifying as the paper is from 2013. Note how Indonesia was supposed to hit the tipping point by 2020. Have they?

We saw this last year near the peak of tropical season too, it makes me think we are evolving towards a -AMO

it's not bad, it did clear out for awhile late yesterday (after 4 pm here). I wouldn't say it's mostly cloudy, maybe like 30 percent clouds lol

Cooler this morning than it was yesterday morning.
