Yep, 95 here with a so-called southerly *sea breeze*
It was supposed to be mostly cloudy the last two days and yet it's been mostly sunny here both days lol.
How are these forecasters so awful and so wrong all the time, they even bust on sky conditions for 1-2 day forecasts? It was supposed to be mostly cloudy with rain. The last two days have been mostly sunny here and today it's at 95 here on a southerly *sea breeze*. Normally you'd see an early high around 90-91 today with temperatures falling into the upper 80s in the afternoon on a due south wind, but today it's stayed up around 95. It's the first 95+ day since the late June triple digit temperatures.
Don what are the frequency of 100+ degree highs as a whole for the urban reporting sites (NYC,EWR,JFK,LGA) for the July 24-30 period? I imagine EWR has a few, but do any of the others have any? It's particularly impressive that NYC doesn't have any especially considering their POR goes back to the 1860s!!
I see a lot of potential in converting all this useless water vapor into drinking water. I read that the first projects to do this have already begun.
H20 water vapor is as much of a greenhouse gas as CO2 is, so reducing it would benefit us all.
ugh, JFK was built on a SWAMP.
I don't know why they have to be politically correct and call it wetlands, there is nothing good about them, they smell bad, and are full of toxic bugs, they are definitely a SWAMP and should be drained.
I see you mentioned big heat coming after the 15th, I hope it happens between the 15-23 which is statistically our heat peak of the entire year.
Do you think it could rival what we had in late June, Tony?
80/78 is a hell of a lot worse than 102/80 and I've experienced BOTH. The reason 80/78 is worse is because it's usually cloudy and oppressive. 102/80 gives you sunshine which makes it feel drier and less oppressive.
The sun is a very powerful friend.
But climatologically and also forecast wise on short term models, you see these popping up inland and weakening and dying out as they move to the coast. It's what happened yesterday too.
