Stink bugs too I think? I had never seen one before a few years ago and now I even see these alien looking creatures in my house, let alone outside. Is this another one of those cheap imports?
-
the sun has been out here.....
-
I wish there was some kind of isotherm map that shows which places get it at the same time. I'm 2 miles north of the barrier islands, I'm south of Sunrise Highway though, but only by a 5 minute drive. So the JFK ASOS gets the seabreeze (and winter changeover line) a little before Sunrise Highway gets it too?
-
Where did these come from? Maybe a chemical treatment will be developed, although I'm not very fond of pesticide use, especially with what we learn about them years later.
-
This would be crazy if this was happening in winter. Basically a narrow area of heavy precip and almost nothing on either side.
-
Oh this is awesome placement! But it still seems to underperform on snowfall measurements lol. Unless the snowfall is measured at a different part of the airport? I notice that my temps don't stabilize as quickly as JFK's do on seabreeze days, we usually hold onto hotter temps for about an hour or two longer. I guess living in an urban part of SW Nassau with lots of buildings close together could hold off the seabreeze longer than the open area surrounding JFK?
-
I'd go with the NWS forecast, recent history suggests they are right to be conservative with this.
-
well I'm taking some online flying lessons (dont ask why- I'm bored lol) and I can attest to how even slightly different temperature/pressure conditions can affect how planes fly. I was looking at it more from a perspective that we should have multiple sensors at different parts of the airport to more accurately affect local climate, especially since some of the other data I look at from local weather stations may not be very accurate. JFK also seems to consistently underdo on snowfall totals.
-
Chris, does it look like the hottest of the weather will be between Wednesday and Saturday and then a drop off after that?
-
Cap of the heat around 95, Walt? and will the peak of the heat end by Saturday the 14th? -
I keep wondering if the days are getting perceptibly shorter lol
-
Peak heat near 95?
-
Good points! I wonder if this slowdown is also responsible for more TCs moving northerly and even northwesterly into the coast that has occurred since then as well as our pattern of intense coastal huggers we have seen in the last few winters?
-
weenies are cheering because they think this will result in colder and snowier winters
-
it seems like the problems started when the ASOS system was installed, so what was the system we had before ASOS and why was it more accurate (I also see all the unknown precip type reports and bad wind reports we have thanks to the ASOS. What was the purpose of switching to ASOS- haven't they heard if it's broke dont "fix" it?)
-
why is 1993 not further up on this list? We had a mega heatwave in July and multiple days over 100 even at JFK
-
1983, 2002 and 2010 are my 3 all time favorite summers! and as great as 2010 was and the only one with more than 30 90 degree days, 1983 actually maxed out the combo of high heat and humidity.
-
But the humid onshore flow is because climate change has relocated the Bermuda ridge further to the north right? The SW part of Nassau County is hotter than JFK so I agree about the bad placement of the JFK sensor, it should be on the north side of the airport, near Rosedale or North Woodmere. Farmingdale and Islip haven't seen any 100 degree days either and they are further inland than JFK is though.
-
I wanted that air from Death Valley to come here. If Death Valley can get to 130 we can definitely get to 100. I miss the good old days when we got the air directly from the deserts instead of these dirty humid polluted airmasses.
-
JFK only got to 94 which was disappointing, I was looking forward to the all encompassing wind from the SW Deserts making it here, instead all we get is this dirty Bermuda high. This summer has been a disappointment.
-
soaked in dew sounds like it could damage something. I use a dew heater for eyepieces that also works for lenses. One of them fits nicely over a 60mm wide lens.
-
What would it take to get coast to coast record heat? Like a record ridge that had 100 degree temps on both coasts?
-
lol it reminds me of inland cutters and coastal huggers, the coast usually misses out on the big anomalous events.
-
I think this should be expected with CC? What do you think, Chris? We get more humid while the real heat goes farther to the north? Same thing happens with Florida.

not a site but a program it's called universe sandbox.
