and why are upper 70s and 80s predicted for long island? Is that a malfunction of the model where it thinks long island is the ocean, like it does with snowfall maps?
for August 10th right? The GFS was predicting that a week ago lol. How long is this heat supposed to last for and is August 10th the highest it will get?
Don what about the usual suspects that challenge Death Valley temps in the Middle East? Like Ahwaz, Iran and Basra, Iraq? I looked up all the towns that have recorded 128 and higher and came up with those and a couple of others in the region like Moenjo Daro, Pakistan and Turbat, Pakistan. Any of those could become the next 130.....
There is if you graph north american summers for every 11 year period, it's a sea of red.....
1944, 55, 66, 77, 88, 99, 2010 were all among the hottest on record
This explains a lot about the radical climate shift we saw beginning in the mid 90s, with tropical weather, with snowfall seasons and with extreme temps.....
I do but not attached yet. I need to get it set up at the right elevation for the anemometer. I'm always worried about critters lol. The last one I had, the squirrels chewed through the wires. (well I think it was the squirrels).
check out the news on the anomalous freeze and snowfall in central and southern Brazil. Old people saying it's the first time they've ever seen snow there and lots of crops destroyed in the freeze.
Brazil has been unusually cold and old people are talking about the first snowfall they've ever seen there in their entire lives. Large amounts of crops frozen. Part of the same pattern?
Yeah the ones we're seeing are the annual ones. But even those seem to be coming later than they used to. When I first moved to long island during the 80s they consistently came in the first week of July (80s-00s). Over the last decade or so, they've come later, in the last few days of July. I wonder why this is?
This year reminds me of 1996, remember we had peak heat in late May and then a humid summer with a lot of rain but not much heat. We only hit 90 once in summer, and that was on the last day of August.
We also got hit by a 65 mph tropical storm (Bertha) after July 4th weekend whose center passed right over JFK. Got 7" of rain from that in the Poconos, that lasted an entire day. That was a Cat 3 as it approached the NC coast earlier.
