and the winds will be at gale force, they already are over here, I can hear them

PD2? I wonder what happened over there in Jan 2016 and some of our other really windy snowstorms.

why does this feel like winter all over again? lol I actually hear the wind whistling through the leaves

we've had sleeping sickness here in these swamps....excuse me protected wetlands....

all these bugs spread disease too, we've had malaria, etc., on Long Island

We need to find some sort of artificial means to suck this excess humidity right out of the air. It's scientifically viable we just need to have the motivation to invent a large scale device that does this. If we can geoengineer Mars we should be able to geoengineer our own planet too. Waiting for nature to do its thing is just no longer an option.

Dry heat is my favorite, less bugs and much easier to breathe.

lol well the a/c got enough use last weekend should've made that your memorial day weekend.

Yeah I think it's CO2, I just read the manual, I just wasn't sure why CO2 attracts them and how do they detect it?

After June 6th it's supposed to be well over 90 and even approaching 100.

Oh you remember that too- I think we got 2 feet of rain that month lol. Do you still think we'll heat up a lot after next week? I remember one of the models (GFS) showed temps approaching 100 after June 6th?

Dont worry, after June 6th we'll be well into the 90s and maybe even approaching 100.

I'm actually using this machine I bought online, it has a UV light and some sort of gas that attracts them and they get trapped inside the container and they die. It seems to be working because when I clean it out every month there are lots of mosquitoes, gnats and flies in there.

we had graupel memorial day weekend a few years ago, somewhere in the early 2010s

Does this remind you of October 2005? Remember when we had that training tropical feed all month?

Sooner or later we'll get into an extended dry period like we did in the 60s. Our climate is all about extremes and I would expect that to happen.

Hopefully they start spraying soon. Mosquitoes are a plague that need to be eradicated from the planet.

we had graupel a few years ago Memorial Day weekend

lol @ June 9, no chance of 100 happening this early

Thanks, this is exactly what I was wondering about. Higher local rises around cities like Miami and Charleston (where a sea wall is now being built) as well as NYC and Long Island, where we are now seeing a sharply rising incidence of sunny day flooding. All of the mentioned cities are.

This increase would "push past the temperature limit the Paris climate agreement is trying to prevent," according to The Associated Press. What you need to know - There’s a 40% chance that at least one of the next five years will be hotter than pre-industrial times, according to the World Meteorological Organization. - WMO also says in their report that there is a 90% likelihood of at least one year between 2021-2025 becoming the warmest ever recorded. - Scientists warn that this increase could bring about "the most catastrophic and long-term effects of climate change," NPR reports.

They all passed away way too soon, Will.

isn't the sea level rise along the east coast of the US and the gulf coast supposed to be accelerating more than most? It would be a nice to see a global map of where sea level rise has been higher than other areas and where it will accelerate the most in the future.

all I can say is if we're not colonizing other habitable planets in other star systems we will be extinct long before 1 billion years comes to pass.

billion years? we better be off this rock long before then. a thousand years at the latest, I expect us to be colonizing habitable planets orbiting stars within 100 LY of us.
