Looks like we won't see dry and coolish weather like we have had the last few days until the first week of August?

1999 had one of our hottest summers and 2 of our longest heatwaves ever. I'm surprised July 2010 isn't up there at your station though.

Yes but unfortunately rainy Sunday.

What was the low at JFK yesterday and today, Chris? Here we made it to 66 this morning while it was 67 yesterday morning.

He truly was one of the most fair and truly good people I've ever known on here.

My question is why is this happening in the Pacific but not in the Atlantic? Or maybe it's beginning to now?

we're going to start geoengineering with aerosols beginning in 2030, we won't be waiting for a volcanic eruption.

Look at how the peak of the last +AMO was higher too, maybe thats why we saw many more east coast hurricanes from the 30s through the 50s and also many more long duration heatwaves in that same period (up to 1966) than we have seen with the current +AMO

wow Ray, so this a 40-45 year cycle? at this rate the next one will be around 2037-2042 lol. note that the current peak is lower than the previous peak, maybe thats why we have not seen as many east coast hurricanes (and long duration heatwaves) as we did back in the 30s, 40s and 50s? The last flip happened around 1967, and our last really hot summer in that period was 1966.

I think it will also cause more political unrest and more conflict too. There's a strong correlation between hotter weather and more violence.

It seems to be delayed, but it has to happen eventually? Maybe a modified version of one?

It's why we need geoengineering John. Blue Green Algae are/were the greatest geoengineers of all time and without them none of us would be here today.

we're already seeing those mass migrations now, it's already happening

Yes, the key word is *gradual* and it's not just our need to adapt but the need for the entire food chain to adapt too. We have had both a hot house Earth and an ice ball Earth in the past but the changes always took place over millions of years.

I wonder how well this is verifying as the paper is from 2013. Note how Indonesia was supposed to hit the tipping point by 2020. Have they?

We saw this last year near the peak of tropical season too, it makes me think we are evolving towards a -AMO

it's not bad, it did clear out for awhile late yesterday (after 4 pm here). I wouldn't say it's mostly cloudy, maybe like 30 percent clouds lol

Cooler this morning than it was yesterday morning.

The models are way too aggressive with the sea breeze, in all my experience here, this does not happen, especially in late July, very similar to how certain models show zero snow on Long Island while it's 2 feet at Newark lol. Just going by local climatology, I'm sure we'll make it to at least the low 90s here before any sea breeze kicks in.

These 11 year record highs should be investigated further, looks like we started having these 11 year peak heat summers beginning in 1933 (so it's 1933, 1944, 1955, 1966, 1977, 1988, 1999, 2010).... I thought 2021 broke the cycle but it looks like 2021 was very similar to 1988 in that the peak heat was inland. The next one will be 2032. It doesn't mean other summers won't be very hot, it just means that the 11 year peak should be hotter than the summers around it.

Omg I'm so sorry. I lost my sister on April 28th so I feel your pain, may he rest in peace and may his memory be a blessing.

I think if you're up very late (or very early) it should be okay. Typically a full moon doesn't mess up a meteor shower much if you're up after 3 am as the moon is lower in the sky and in a different part of the sky (it will be in the west will the meteor shower is in the northeast.) I've only seen the Geminids one time and they were really good, but it was too damn cold and I was only outside for 30 minutes while unpacking my car lol. It's why the Perseids are my favorite meteor shower, all the other ones I like happen when it's too cold to be outside -- so I try to glimpse a few through my windows from the warmth of my house.

it could also be because the airmass is cooler.

The same thing happens on the south shore, JFK heats up faster than the city up until about 1-2 pm before the sea breeze kicks in.

it's that damn onshore wind. Last night was nice, it was in the mid 60s here.
