  1. Chris, wasn't 1996 one of those other times that it was hottest in May? Also, why are the SST much cooler this year? I thought they had been running warmer?
  2. figured it would have something to do with pressure lol. it's why you need a strong land breeze to overcome it.
  3. Question is WHY is the area of heat limited to such a small region? WHY can't we get the entire eastern half of the country to experience all time historic heat? And when was the last time that happened- 2010?
  4. it's because minimum temps are determined by things other than heat, like humidity, urban heat island, etc. Also, I tangibly feel hotter when there are more hot days. The summers that stay in my memory the longest are the ones with no breaks and the most number of hot days.
  5. you didnt see the meteors that change color as they come down? I love seeing lightning in one part of the sky and meteors in a different part of the sky, thats quite the sight! One year I even saw meteors through a thin fog on top of a mountain
  6. highway robbery.....I saw the METAR (RJay posted it) and JFK hit 89.6 at 4:20 PM that should have been rounded up to 90! On the south shore of Nassau County we had a 3 day heatwave it was 91-94-92 on the three days, with the 94 on Friday the hottest of the year!
  7. I mean it's been hot but not among the hottest. I have a specific criteria for hot and it depends on number of 90 degree highs. The hottest summers to me have been 1983, 1991, 1993, 2002, 2010.
  8. wow you weren't as hot as I was and yet I'm closer to the ocean (2 miles from it), hit 92 here to complete the heat wave. Why the discrepancy with the JFK temp on Thursday? It was 91 here that day and 94 on Friday, the hottest of the summer so far.
  9. made it to 91 at the airports and 92 here on the south shore
  10. hit 92 here on the south shore today at 3:15, it was a wonderful dry heat
  11. I HATE sea breezes and I love the land breeze that gave us this night dry heat day. By the way I've been thinking about something, according to thermodynamics doesn't heat flow from hot to cold? So shouldn't that imply that sea breezes should be rare (since they involve cold air over water going to hot land?) How does the sea breeze manage to disobey thermodynamics laws?
  12. yay JFK beat NYC by 3 degrees! 92 here on the south shore at 3:15 PM
  13. it's not perceptive to me, I judge heat by number of hot days and that has to be number of 90 degree days. For me the last several summers haven't been nearly as hot as 2010, 11, and previous summers were.
  14. yes for continuity, but there was a break in continuity when they switched to an automated system and stopped trimming the greenery. It was an official heat wave on the south shore, the last three days it was 91-94-92 here. That 94 on Friday was the hottest it's been here all summer. And had a late high of 92 here on Saturday thanks to the west wind and the sun that broke out around 3 PM (the high was at 3:15 PM).
  15. https://twitter.com/i/events/1426249254956240896 Wildfires linked to thousands of Covid cases?
  16. https://twitter.com/i/events/1425920641119789060 Humans using up the earth's resources earlier and earlier each year (we need 1.7 earths to cover our resource debts.)
  17. https://twitter.com/i/events/1426298480767684613 Sicily hitting 124 degrees, all time Europe high and snails burning to death in their shells.
  18. time to take down their economies since money is all they care about
  19. why dont we apply strong sanctions to China, India and Brazil? Thats how you convince them to stop. Tell them this is how it has to be and if it isn't we're going to embargo the shit out of you.
  20. one could argue that the planet would be a far better place without humans on it
  21. we could collapse into pre-technological levels, but that isn't complete extinction. But how many people seriously think we'll still be using fossil fuels after 2050? Wont the generation that wants them all be dead by then anyway?
  22. 3C is going to make the world a miserable place for most. Space may be the only answer in that case.
