  1. 500 BTU is standard though. It's fine for most uses, although I dont have the same size bedroom as you do.....mine is more like 120 sq ft.
  2. This looks more like the kind of pattern that brings TC up the coast rather than gets 100 degree temps to the coast. In years where we had TC strikes in the same year that we had 100 degree temps (notably years like 1944, 1999, 2011, 2012), the TC strikes occurred after the main summer heat was over (late August through October.)
  3. JFK hit 100 in July 2013. NYC undermeasured as usual. It was our last 100 reading.
  4. Looks like chances for major heat are low before July 15th for us
  5. I dont mind rain but glad we didnt get the damaging storms
  6. Maybe not as hot, JFK actually hit 100 in July 2013
  7. humid not very hot heat or an actual heat wave with westerly winds?
  8. 89 ugh if we had a little more sun we'd hit 90 today
  9. the corn and also this unfortunate practice of chopping down forests to make room for grazing. We have deforestation going on big time especially in the south and middle of the country.
  10. I'm starting to think we wont see 100 in our area this summer. Maybe upper 90s like the last few years. Do you have any early forecasts for the first half of July?
  11. and bad farming practices, and we also have some really bad farming practices going on right now. Regenerative farming needs to be adopted everywhere
  12. wow 128 and 123 for Death Valley and Palm Springs?! Do you think this is the peak of the heat or could it possibly get even hotter in those places?
  13. the first year I ever saw the Perseids was the best year ever for them.....August 1986, weren't we down in the lower 50s with crystal clear skies?
  14. Coastal cities were mentioned- those coastal cities may not even exist 50 years from now!
  15. Use the health argument....higher asthma rates and worse air quality and higher levels of pollution and thats why we're switching to electric vehicles. A lot of the dirty polluting fossil fuel factories are built near urban areas where minorities live and thats not by accident.
  16. we also need to transition away from animal farming or at the very least limit it or change the way we do it.....like nature does it.....dont need to chop down trees and feed cattle lemongrass to limit emissions. Better for our health to limit meat consumption too.
  17. wow 1999 and 2011 are on that highest heat index list a lot too. Impressive that they calculate it to hundredths of a degree lol. Most of the days on the first graph had highs at or above 100. Interesting that none of those highest dew point days on the second graph had a high temp at or above 100?
  18. it's like 1983 was a warning shot for our hot humid summers and 1977-78 was a warning shot for our snowy but not very cold winters lol
  19. not too bright? you want it to be a red dwarf lol? or are you rooting for an eclipse that lasts all day
  20. How extreme 1983 was with over 80 inches of rain and our 90 day high record along with record high humidity.
  21. Nice list.... a couple of additions if you could add these: Historic freezing rain event Jan 1994 Jan 2016 historic blizzard Feb 1983 historic blizzard April 1982 historic blizzard
  22. 1980 is also top on your list for longest period of 80 degree average (60 days I think?)
  23. 1983 really seems to be like an early warning shot of the type of summers that have become more common in recent years
  24. Could break that there tomorrow and even make a run at 110! Amazing at that elevation and proximity to a large lake.
