  1. There are some thoughts that there would be a slight haze to the air from the particulate matter being in the sky, but that's about it.
  2. How far did the 100 degree heat extend into Central Florida Chris? Was Orlando at or above 100 too? They have a 1 in 10 year rate of 100 degree high temperatures, about equal to JFK.
  3. the so-called Maine lobsters used to be near Long Island, then they migrated north to Maine and now they have migrated even farther north into the Canadian Maritime provinces.
  4. wow NYC had many of these back in the day..... that was some amazing extreme heat between 1944-1966
  5. to be fair, I'd much rather lower the amount of water vapor in the air (before it reaches the saturation point and causes floods) and turn it into drinking water, that would have multiple benefits.
  6. it's good that I don't see any sign of smoke today just deep blue skies
  7. This feels like one of this old time historic summers I always used to read about that had multiple heatwaves of 100 plus degrees. 2010 was great but had only one 100+ degree heatwave (granted it was 3 days of 100+ here). 1953 had two 100+ degree heatwaves (NYC) 1966 had three 100+ degree heatwaves (NYC) and 1983 had two 100+ degree heatwaves (JFK) Those are the only years that have had multiple 100+ degree heatwaves for either NYC or JFK, Don???
  8. I hope this is a sign of a new global pattern of reduced sea breezes. Maybe as we all heat up, oceans and land alike, sea breezes will be much less common.
  9. Zero smoke today the skies are crystal clear and deep blue, smoke won't be an impediment to temperatures at all this week.
  10. Even if the public did accept it wholeheartedly, I don't think any of us could make a difference, our country and our planet is run by corrupt rich oligarchs.
  11. Yes, the lack of snow and ice in the Alps means a shortage of fresh water, it's truly terrible.
  12. 102 degrees on back to back days in June of this year comes to mind. We got the monthly record and earliest ever 100 degree temperatures at JFK.
  13. YES! I want to see at least one 100 degree day this week and it would truly suck if the air pollution from that smoke was the reason it doesn't happen.
  14. wow such a historically cold February in a moderate la nina in 1933-34? Thats one thing I remember about the first part of the 20th century, the la ninas used to be much colder and much snowier. Thats why 1995-96 and 2010-11 were much more like them than any recent la ninas.
  15. the 1930s really were wild and extreme, thats a great comparison 1933-34 to 1898-99, both were el ninos weren't they?
  16. that was truly disgusting, around 80 with 75+ dew points is my nightmare scenario. That day I blacked out, it was 81 with an 81 dew point (100% humidity).
  17. thanks Chris and no sea breeze until after 4 pm each day?
  18. JFK might hit 100, which if so, would be tied with 1966 and 2010 with 3 100+ days.
  19. Yay so Florida has been hitting 100? So that means if we have Florida weather we will be too, even with onshore flow :-) What was the high in Orlando? They hit 100 once every 10 years or so (about the same as JFK).
  20. really? it looks like blue skies and been partly to mostly sunny here since around 4
  21. we got enough to make the ground wet but nothing heavy or even that noticeable. The sun came out before 4 and it's actually been a really nice late afternoon. Can't even see any smoke or haze anywhere just blue skies and some puffy white clouds.
  22. wow even for JFK? why did this happen now and not back in June? did those fires only just get started Chris?
  23. it'll probably get here after 2 pm the morning rain didn't happen but that actually increases the chances the afternoon rain will.
