  1. Yes 100 degrees in MAY! A dream come true!
  2. wow 1992 was the coolest summer in my memory
  3. long island was nice and sunny
  4. Didn't it snow here in May 2020?
  5. It was actually sunny for most of the day, that low is far away from us.
  6. https://grist.org/science/can-the-world-overshoot-its-climate-targets-and-then-fix-it-later/ Overshoot is a bad idea
  7. Aren't the oceans supposed to be heating up?
  8. Don wasn't the 1930s Dust Bowl era as well as the extinction of the Mayan civilization linked to persistent La Nina patterns? Perhaps we are headed into another one of those with widespread geopolitical consequences including mass migrations, wide ranging droughts, etc.
  9. forget the lows no one cares about them because people are sleeping when they happen. BRING ON THE 100+ HIGHS. I'm a big advocate of judging heat by highs and ignoring the lows.
  10. Didn't JFK also exceed 100 during the 1977 heatwave? 102 or 103?
  11. as I thought the 90s were in a league of their own
  12. LGA area has also gotten much hotter and much more built up. They always bake early in the morning too-- I never trust temperatures from that part of the city. Best approach is to use an average of all area sites EWR,JFK,NYC,LGA
  13. 1993 was like this too-- there was just one 90 degree day in late May....and then it was in the 60s just before July 4th lol. And then we all remember what happened afterwards, a superheatwave of historic proportions with three days over 100 in NYC in a row and give in a row over 100 at EWR. EWR had a stunning total of 9 days of 100+ that year!
  14. I saw a Lee Goldberg forecast for "variable cloudiness"-- the good thing is totality lasts for an hour and a half so there should be some time in there to see it. Sometimes I wish the moon was closer to us than the clouds are lol
  15. They're really becoming more humid, looks the heat has stabilized since 2010, it hasn't gotten any hotter than it was that year and plateaued lower than 2010 (but higher than it was in the 2000s)....some of this seems to be cyclical since the 1990s were hotter....think of all the 90 degree records we set in the 1990s (1991, 1993, 1995, 1999 were all amazingly hot).
  16. Dry hair is coming from the High pressure to our north thankfully, creating these spectacular clear pristine blue skies and low humidity!
  17. Don an early forecast for the eclipse would be nice to see! Frame of time for totality is 11:30 PM Sunday night to 1 AM Monday. Would my location on Long Island be better for it or the one in NE PA? Thanks!
  18. record breaking heat in Texas too
  19. I love this! Can you do one just like this for JFK please with the same 4 columns included? How far back does their temperature record go?
  20. I want the best of both... a dry heat!
  21. love the low humidity, I could work with this all summer
  22. I'd rather have good weather for that eclipse.
  23. That's bad for the eclipse! And it sounds like the month will end up below normal. Is this how nature balances the scales after we get a mild winter? Seems to happen quite often. Also, how is it this kind of thing almost never happens in winter? At least I don't ever remember this ever happening in winter.
  24. How long does it take a storm to "die" or dissipate if it doesn't move at all? 10 days?
  25. according to the marketing for the forecasts, they use a "custom blend of in house models not available to the general public for enhanced accuracy"
