it's already 90 here wow

it's a Florida type pattern with the beaches and coastal areas staying dry and sunny. I wouldn't mind if it wasn't so damn humid.

Wow this would benefit all of society without taking up too much land and be highly efficient.

Don what are the frequency of 100+ degree highs as a whole for the urban reporting sites (NYC,EWR,JFK,LGA) for the July 24-30 period? I imagine EWR has a few, but do any of the others have any? It's particularly impressive that NYC doesn't have any especially considering their POR goes back to the 1860s!!

Being near landfills isn't a good thing for human or beast.

converting all this useless excess water vapor to drinking water would benefit us all (and the first such projects have already begun.)

someone somehow mistook contrails for chemtrails. Contrails are real chemtrails are not.

Yep, Florida has this same pattern as the rain normally stays away from the beaches unless a nearby tropical system or front focuses it there.

I see a lot of potential in converting all this useless water vapor into drinking water. I read that the first projects to do this have already begun. H20 water vapor is as much of a greenhouse gas as CO2 is, so reducing it would benefit us all.

ugh, JFK was built on a SWAMP. I don't know why they have to be politically correct and call it wetlands, there is nothing good about them, they smell bad, and are full of toxic bugs, they are definitely a SWAMP and should be drained.

It's scheduled to start in 2030.

Heat is exciting, humidity is boring.

I see you mentioned big heat coming after the 15th, I hope it happens between the 15-23 which is statistically our heat peak of the entire year. Do you think it could rival what we had in late June, Tony?

Namibia also has some of the lowest light pollution of anywhere on the planet. The other place is the Australian outback.

It's normal for us to miss out on these kinds of storms. We need a strong front to come through to trigger areawide storms.

80/78 is a hell of a lot worse than 102/80 and I've experienced BOTH. The reason 80/78 is worse is because it's usually cloudy and oppressive. 102/80 gives you sunshine which makes it feel drier and less oppressive. The sun is a very powerful friend.

But climatologically and also forecast wise on short term models, you see these popping up inland and weakening and dying out as they move to the coast. It's what happened yesterday too.

We should all hit 90+ today, except Central Park of course.

Central Park, NYC, it's the hub of the entire area.

Highs: EWR: 105 (1993) NYC: 100 (1993) 1993: New record high temperature was recorded at DCA of 100° and a minimum of 78°. The old record was 98° set in 1890. (Ref. Washington Weather Records - KDCA) 1993: Iowa: A wild weather night in the middle of the Great Flood of 1993 across Iowa as the State records its 37th day of rain in the last 40 days. Many tornado sightings reported. Manilla, Iowa records 7.5 inches of rain; 7.83 inches in Jefferson. Massive flooding rocked portions of eastern South Dakota. Residents were cleaning up from tremendous flooding which occurred from July 3rd to July 7th. Flash flooding resulted from thunderstorms which moved across southeast South Dakota dumping 3 to 6 inch rains on already saturated ground. (Ref. WxDoctor) (Ref. More Information on This Storm) These are the two things I remember the most about 1993. St Louis was flooded out that year while we were baking in intense relentless heat all summer long. 2003: What may be the world's highest dew point temperature was recorded at Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, in the Persian Gulf. A dew point of 95 degrees was recorded at 3 PM while the air temperature was 108 degrees. The apparent temperature at that time would have been 172 degrees. and we thought our dew points were bad lol

Most of the rain will be inland.

Tony, I know the forecast is for *scattered showers* but in reality it should be scattered showers for inland locations and partly to mostly sunny near the coast. Because that's what always seems to happen in these patterns and that's what we had yesterday and so far today. There's a clear difference between inland areas and coastal areas in terms of rain and sunshine.

This might also be why there are no 100+ record high temperatures between July 24-30.

Yes, this much more so than the heat.

Yes the heat is fine, it's the humidity that really sucks. Convert all that useless water vapor to drinkable water and you have multiple benefits of reducing life destroying floods and giving drinking water to millions.
