we also need water vapor capture

it's no coincidence, with a stronger SE ridge I expect Gulf Coast landfalls to be more likely and northeast and midatlantic landfalls to be less likely. The 1950s were probably as bad as we will ever get for east coast landfalls north of Florida.

I think the AQI reached the highest number it can ever be, which is 500. It was like the Dust Bowl meets Mars around here lol.

thats crazy, how does near 90 degree heat make it that far north and just skip right over us? Is it going due north from the SW right into Canada? 2023 was the year we had those awful sky conditions in June?

I'll never forget their largest fire-- Camp Fire (?) was started by fireworks being shot off at a gender reveal party by the father. A !@##$ gender reveal party!

we can't because of bad siting. The only other thing I can think of is have a parallel set of instruments outside of the park and compare the two to each other. We already have a mesonet so we already have the instruments to do a valid comparison.

This is true, our most damaging fires are caused by the human animal. It's not just NJ, but California too. Not sure if this is the case in northern Canada though, where very few people live.

it's why those instruments need to be relocated outside of the park to be more representative of the area. How many of these ASOS are located in parks anyway? 99.99% of them are at airports, so there's no reason for us to consider data from a park to be comparable to the 99.99% of other ASOS locations. Yes, we all know that their siting is flawed, but even moreso, why would we ever consider data from a park to be representative of a concrete jungle?

Sunday will be fine. Next week will be around 80, so not hot, but most importantly, it won't be raining.

and most importantly, dry and sunny!

it's a park and not an accurate barometer (pun intended) for the city. If you want a better indicator for what Manhattan experiences you need to take those instruments out of the park.

This is what I mean with climate change being non linear. It's not getting wetter everywhere and even where it's getting *wetter* there are more cycles of drought too. Our area has been and will experience more of this too. With the atmosphere able to hold more moisture it also means that the trigger point that causes rainfall will also be higher.

No, it's not the case. If the atmosphere can hold more moisture it also means the saturation point is higher, which means you actually need more moisture to get it to rain. This is why you see cycles of drought and flooding further south. So at some point the drought will give way to destructive flooding, but it hasn't reached that point yet.

you're not a literate person so I wouldn't expect you to understand any of it, fool Monty you must live near one of those superfund sites that NJ is famous for, you're showing clear evidence of brain damage.

Thanks, this explains why the fires up north are not going anywhere. Do you think when the temperatures warm more those trees will be replaced with the more fire resistant trees that are prevalent farther south?

I loved this series. Not on the level of the Foundation series, but very good. But it's going to come down to this *idea* as being the ONLY viable option. I'm not the only one voicing it either. As a matter of fact a physicist friend of mine in California told me last year that this is the only permanent solution to the wildfire problem: *pave over the area with asphalt.* At some point, this will be done. The Amazon needs to be preserved at all costs, the real problem are these boreal forests that are burning up more and more each year causing death and destruction. We're not going to stop using fossil fuels, so rather than dealing with burning fires every year this is the only other solution. We can replace the trees with foliage that has a much lower risk of burning. https://www.heavenlygreens.com/blog/plants-and-trees-that-resist-wildfires What plants to choose? Hardwood trees such as maples, redbud, California lilac, and fruit trees are less flammable than soft-wood conifers. “Juicy” agaves and aloes are far less likely to burn than junipers and other shrubs with high resin or sap content. (They’re so much snazzier-looking, too!) Trees and shrubs that are native to northern California are excellent choices for a fire-wise landscape. They are naturally drought-tolerant, so they fit nicely into your low water garden design. And there are so many natives – plus garden-friendly hybrid varieties – your biggest problem will be deciding which ones to use. Of course, there are many non-natives that are also fire-resistant. https://www.arborday.org/perspectives/are-some-trees-fire-resistant-actually-yes So, what exactly makes a tree fire-resistant? While all of the trees listed below are considered fire-resistant, each has its own characteristics that make it more likely to survive a fire. But there are some common features. Thick bark protects the inner layer of the tree that’s actively growing (known as cambium). High moisture content in the wood or leaves means they will not burn as intensely or as quickly. A lack of branches low to the ground prevents flames from climbing into the treetops.

we have self driving AI taxies now!

It's just time to chop down all those trees.

Is it very dry in Canada again this year? It's every year now with these Canadian wildfires, they need to consider just chopping down all those trees to put a permanent end to the fires.

ohhh, self driving, AI?

Sunday will be MUCH better and mostly sunny. Is your booth both days?

SW wind wouldn't get this area to 90 before July, it needs to be a due west or northwest wind. JFK very rarely has gotten to 90 before June 20th even on a westerly wind. Upper 80s, yes, but 90 is usually closer to the summer solstice unless it's a really hot summer (like 2010), which has also been dry in the spring.

We need high speed trains here like most modern countries have. Europe, Japan, etc, all have really high speeds on these trains. MagLev technology.... it's going to be absolutely awesome when we finally have it.

Not this soon after so much wetness. Maybe in July, but it doesn't happen in early June. There is a seismic shift by June 20th, which is why 90 degree temperatures become much more common for us coastal people by June 20th as opposed to the first week of June. One thing I really like about our area is that our weather closely follows the real start to the seasons. We usually get our first snowfall around December 20th, our last snowfall around March 20th, our first 90 degree day around June 20th and our last 90 degree day around September 20th.

good riddance to commercial flying. The airlines deserve it with all their corporate greed and prioritizing profits over passengers. Have you seen how they have reduced leg room and overall comfort for passengers? And they brag about it and plan on reducing leg room even more. I hope they get a recession they never recover from. Stop flying, it's better for the environment and your health too. And there isn't an industry that deserves to suffer more than the airline cartels.
