There was plenty of rain here even if not 1 inch Don, we rarely ever get 1 inch of rain from thunderstorms around here, they just do not last long enough. That said the 0.5-0.8 inch of rain was plenty. -
it's not like they get this right every time.
-
The skies were purple here just before sunset, that very rarely happens here. I thought I saw the beginnings of a rainbow too, but the rain came in and it got too dark for one to form, it was very pale regardless. It looked like a pink bow in a purple sky lol
-
there was some heavy rain for awhile with lightning and thunder and an odd purple colored sky close to sunset. Nothing severe (which we don't need) but some heavy rain without flooding was nice to see
-
You'd think being right on the Sound would make them much cooler. I didn't see any of these places getting as hot as JFK in late June.
-
The thunder won't even make it here lol
-
How does Bridgeport which is much cooler than Long Island get a 90 degree day today, they are located right on the Long Island Sound and on a peninsula surrounded by water on three sides. JFK is usually much hotter than Bridgeport, Don.

You actually don't even have to go outside if it's a really good shower. I've been able to spot lots of meteors right from my windows, I just keep all my lights shut off.
-
I really hate the moon it seems to interfere every year with this shower. Maybe one day we'll figure out a way to shut off its light (an artificial eclipse maybe?)
-
The problem is the same with people who drive through flash flooding, if someone has to go out there to rescue them their lives are put at risk too. So at a minimum if someone disobeys signs, they can be fined and even charged as criminals.
-
What about if it's children or minors? Should their parents be charged if they leave them unattended and they go in the water and drown? People can go to the beach they just aren't allowed in the water, they should be prosecuted if they disobey the warnings. If someone has to go rescue them you put their lives in jeopardy too (the same thing with driving through flash floods by the way.)

Yes, I think it's a sign that we're flipping back to the 2010-2013 type summers. Where is that upper ridge right now? Is it to our southwest?
-
Probably just some light rain when it gets here
-
5 weeks was absolutely amazing for snowfall amounts and snowcover. Unfortunately for summer, it's hard to find an equivalent, I guess the closest would be Summer 1980, in which the heat was concentrated in July and August. Even that had a long period of heat (8 weeks) vs the 5-6 weeks of heat we got this summer. I loved that late June period, but July was a bit of a disappointment here, not matching July 2010.
-
also, what happened to that heat ridge from the west that gave us our big heat in late June? we don't usually get our hottest weather from a Bermuda High, our hottest weather comes from when the big ridge out west expands eastward
-
This summer represents a turning point because we finally got a really strong hot ridge in June that gave us all 100+ degree temperatures. I think we are cycling back to that-- this summer was the first shot across the bow. How strong would the ridge have to be to give everyone over 100 degree temperatures from Canada all the way down to the Carolinas?
-
is there a way to classify heatwaves the way we classify snowstorms Don? For example, for KU events we have: coverage of 4 inch snowfall coverage of 10 inch snowfall coverage of 20 inch snowfall for heatwaves we can classify them 1-5 in the same way coverage of 90 degree temperatures coverage of 95 degree temperatures coverage of 100 degree temperatures on this scale the late June heatwave would be a 4 or even a 5 !
-
this is why 1993 and 1953 were such great summers (and it was hot everywhere and not just Newark.)
-
Hey the sun is nice!
-
But I'd dispute that this can even be considered heat at all. Someone said earlier that we should now consider 95+ to be heat. I turn my a/c off at night because it gets so cold. It's not hot at all.
-
it's actually cleared out again, I wonder if the clouds will stay away for the rest of the day? deep blue skies now just like yesterday!
-
it's very comfortable right now. I turn off my a/c every night around 2-3 am when I get up for meteor viewing because it's freezing.
-
Yeah it wasn't even close lol Cant even say which model did the best because NONE of them did well!!
-
There is nothing normal about this, it's actually pissing me off that it's over 100 degrees on Prince Edward Island, while we are stuck in mediocre low level *heat*
-
Prince Edward Island at over 100 degrees really vexes me, there is no way PEI should be hotter than LI Thats the equivalent of Miami getting snow while it's raining up here!!
