Wow so 1821 Hurricane was even bigger than 1693 which was thought to be a borderline Cat 4? That small diameter of 40 km mentioned in that piece seems to indicate it was a pure tropical system at our latitude, is that why it maintained its strength on that track?
-
With the coastal hugger/slightly inland track 1821 had how on earth was it a Cat 4 at Cape May and a Cat 3 when it made it up to NYC? That was further west than Irene's track- how did it stay so strong?
-
what about for western Long Island? was Sandy worse than 1821, 1893 or any of the others for us too?
-
odd that 1893 and 1938 are rearrangements of the same number lol what do you think causes these cyclic shifts?

The Rule of "11's" in New York City Summers - Bake-offs
LibertyBell replied to JBG's topic in New York City Metro
the dry heat was a real blessing -
another thing is the rarity of having anything higher than a Cat 3 north of NC. When was the last time anything more than a Cat 3 made landfall in NC or points north?
-
Would you say that this new track actually has more impact on us than the old one did? I don't recall the kind of damage we've seen in Sandy happen in our region from any of the previous storms I've witnessed (Gloria and Bob.) Even that storm we had last August (I forgot its name) had winds stronger than I ever saw in either Gloria or Bob. The rainfall is less but the winds have been higher.

It will be interesting to see if we get up to the projected numbers (15+ TS, 10+ H, 5+ MH) and if this is more of a Gulf season, a Florida season or an East coast season. Do you have any thoughts on that, Chris?
-
I understand but it's slowed down considerably from earlier in the season and we're now well behind where we were last year. It looks like the average track this year will also be to our south, as the dominant track has been towards Florida and the GOM? The other thing I noticed is a lot of these systems developing have been weak. Minimal TS.

I prefer hot chocolate in the winter and orange juice in the summer

Australia! Enough said.

Heat is over for now. Next bout of heat begins Aug 20?
-
1990 is an interesting year to pick because I notice that's when we started having record heat overcome record cold outcomes around here.

Occasional Thoughts on Climate Change
LibertyBell replied to donsutherland1's topic in Climate Change
It's also about the amount of natural resources this immense population uses up and how quickly it uses them up. According to the information I posted we actually need 1.7 earths right now for the population we have just to keep the resource debt balanced. And it's been getting worse since the early 70s. -

https://twitter.com/i/events/1426902907392335872 This is horrendous. So these soldiers sacrificed themselves to save 100 people living in a town in Algeria that was burned down in wildfires. Then a mob of people falsely accused and angrily attacked an artist of setting the fires, when he had only traveled there to help the victims. He was killed by the angry mob. No good deed goes unpunished! -
I wonder if tropical activity will be much more limited then
-
95 is meh, 100 and very dry air is what you want, it's wonderful to run in. I get a natural high when it hits 100, it's like now I'll remember this summer forever.
-
dry heat is awesome, nothing as therapeutic as 100 degrees and low humidity, it gives you a natural high.
-
wow 1996 and this summer are a close match around here, except it was a little cooler then but just as humid
-
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?
-
figured it would have something to do with pressure lol. it's why you need a strong land breeze to overcome it.
-
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?
-
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.
-
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
-
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!
