I saw a graph posted today on TWC that was supposedly from the CPC that indicated that although they are predicting warmer than normal temps for us for October (greatest warmth centered over the Midwest), they are also predicting drier than normal for the NE.

People should just use their local airports and just forget about other locations that have a different climate. For me, it's JFK. For you it's ISP. For Tony it's EWR. Why do people have to argue about temps about regions in microclimates outside their own?

This is exactly how I feel....I dont want cold weather until winter 75 by day and 60 by night is ideal

I was miserable this morning, thats too cold for me without turning my heat on. Glad that we're about to warm up

I'm all for it, Don. Last night was way too cold for me and I was miserable this morning. I think a lot of people actually want warmer falls-- which is one reason why ACC can't get much traction, because a lot of people actually want a warmer climate.

I actually like warmer falls.

I will be honest with you. Last night I was uncomfortable. That was too cold for me. And it was around 50 here. It got to 38 at Westhampton I think? Anyway my tolerance for cold weather is low this time of year. I want temps in the mid 70s for highs and around 60 or upper 50s for lows. Last night was just too cold for me and this morning it was literally painful for me to walk on my floors because they were so cold. The tiled parts anyway.

I was thinking of forward thinking benevolent dictators.....how about Justinian? I'm not even sure you could call him a dictator, but he was an amazing person, more forward thinking than most so-called leaders we have today.

Yes I quite agree, and there is no real exit strategy out of one. I thought AI could do it benevolently, but I wouldn't be shocked if AI acquired some human-like deficiencies. After all, it is programmed to learn from humans.....

I want humanity to survive long enough to see what lies at the boundary of the universe I know you're into futuristic science so I'm curious to know if you're into strong underlying connections between quantum mechanics, gravity, time, wormholes, the holographic principle and entanglement (ER=EPR). Lots of new research into the connections between these by some of the world's greatest minds. I'm actually writing a series on this. But the jist of it is, that the boundary of the universe contains one less dimension than the bulk (where we live), and that one less dimension is- TIME! In other words space-time is an emergent property that arises because of quantum mechanics entanglement (which itself arises from wormholes that tie the fabric of reality together, the meaning of ER=EPR) and on the boundary of the universe, according to the holographic principle, the information of the entire universe is contained in one less dimension (and since that one less dimension is time we can analogize that to the boundary storing all the data of the universe frame by frame, like a film reel). According to the latest research information is preserved and released back to the outside world even by black holes (of everything that ever fell inside them) but it's quantum encrypted because quantum entanglement and wormholes is the way the information gets out (and spinning Kerr black holes have multiple horizons, inside of which lies a ring singularity, beyond which may be other universes, daughter universes to our own, just like we might be inside a black hole inside a parent superverse, which provides a way of unifying relativity and quantum mechanics into a theory of quantum gravity.)....some fascinating research in this area that may tell us what space and time really are and our place in the multiverse.

Just glad that the yucky 70 dew point crap is gone. I think most would be happy with temps in the 70s during the day with 50s at night for the next 4-5 weeks and most of all low humidity (dew points 50s or lower.) I dont really like cold weather in October or November, I like a slow transition.

Yes, Britain, Brazil, India....it seems like these nations saw what happened in the US and decided to go down the same road. Human authoritarianism is inherently evil , but perhaps machine intelligence would make the best decisions for everyone and not being able to be swayed by money, it would look for long term goals, rather than short term benefits

Well, I was actually thinking of technological authoritarianism. Machine intelligence of the highest order.....AGI (Artificial General Intelligence).....as a fellow science fiction aficionado I was curious what you think of a system run by the greatest super intelligence that could ever exist, that cannot be bought by or with money, making relentlessly rational and logical decisions that are for the best for the most number of people as well as for the planet as a whole. We have learned another 22 species have officially been removed from the endangered species list and moved into the extinct category. Perhaps with AGI running the entire planet, much wiser decisions would be made and such finality would not have to occur.

Greta Thunberg blasts world leaders https://twitter.com/i/events/1442953344855597058 She's 10000% right in times of emergency, authoritarianism is actually better than democracy, but it has to be the right (left) kind of authoritarianism

it's way better than cold. I want it to stay in the 70s through the end of October. early cold weather sucks it's not good for anything sunny and 70s and low humidity during the day and 50s at night with clear skies is the best possible weather

it's going to be in the 30s tomorrow night on Long Island, too bad it's going to be October 1 not September 30

all the humidity and periods leading up to rainfall cause me extreme problems with allergies and some breathing issues. I take allergy meds but I noticed that I have to take them much more now than I did in the past.

I'm thinking that this is our new average rainfall....I think we've had 50 or more inches of rain more often than not, compared to the 80s when it only happened in 1983. I'm not sure it happened at all in the 90s.

Now that we got the record, I dont want a single drop of rain for the rest of the year

but there is no more means Walt, this is how disgustingly wet and humid our climate has become

and if we dont get a single drop of rain for the rest of the year I'll be very happy

but whats wrong with dry weather? I love it. we've had more than enough rain for the entire year....this isn't supposed to be the gulf coast

we've all had more than enough rain this year my ideal yearly rainfall is 40 inches

https://twitter.com/i/events/1442802973315317761 This pisses me off so much. Instead of killing people in meaningless wars, our military should be bombing these people who are destroying the environment, which affects everyone on the planet. Any and all of these people who are destroying the Amazon should cease to exist. (Same goes for the fossil fuel cartels.)
