I know this is way out there range, but I have plans to be in the Poconos for the Perseid meteor shower. I'm going there Saturday August 7th and will be there until Monday August 16th for the shower. Of course, no specifics can be given, but can you at least hint at some generalities like sunny, dry weather hopefully? And hopefully not humid or really hot either. 50s at night would be perfect. The other really good thing is the moon will be in the first half of its phase cycle so will be setting before midnight that week and not interfere with the Perseids!

This part needs to be reread: We are still two days away from the heat just starting to enter the high arctic and with ridging over the area full sun will be out, yes with declining insolation each day but warm windy weather and sun is duo that even in our latitudes snow/ice melts out from this. Add in any moisture potential and the process really speeds up. There also seems to be a push from the american/canada region of ridging over the CAA with potential +2-4C anomalies showing up. Ice thickness is about a lot more than just solar insolation. Meanwhile the glaciers are going bye bye all across the globe and people are fiddling while Rome burns (not that I ever liked the Roman Empire or its philosophy of conquest but that's for another day lol.)

This huge rise in dewpoints and rainfall, are the higher temperatures in the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic to blame for this? It can't be anything else, with how our tropical season now starts earlier than it did before and how wet and humid our springs and summers have become. -
It must vary quite a bit from region to region, I can tell you on the east coast the opposite is happening and dew points and rainfall have been on a steep increase, which has led to an explosion of vegetation and allergy levels that last nearly year round now. Of course in the West the exact opposite has been happening
-
whats the bigger problem, the record flooding or the scorching droughts? and do you think all the cloud seeding going on is going to be enough to be enough to curb the worst of the droughts? I read that the most it can do is add back 20-25 pct of normal precip for a given region that's in drought conditions.
-
I guess that means that August heat is going to be canceled too
-
they all moved to the suburbs- I do blame them for doing that
-
those must have been some amazing years
-
earlier in the month lol. I think they were in the 30s and 40s?
-
a better idea might be to have a back up weather station installed elsewhere in the Park (like in the Sheep Meadow) and use that data to correct the other one. Of course installing a second unit there would require $$$$$ Why did we switch to ASOS? The old way was more accurate. Automation = laziness.
-
Heat is now referred to the same way snowstorms are. "More/higher to the west." Inland areas are where all the action is now, aside from the rogue storm that hits the East End lol. I now hear "inland heatwaves" in the summer as much as I hear "inland snowstorms" in the winter.
-
Why cant they just move the equipment to the Sheep Meadow?
-
wow we got the opposite of nuclear winter, we had a nuclear late summer and early fall! I think hydrogen fusion bombs were being tested by then too
-
I had to laugh when he said LGA may be several degrees cooler than Central Park in the summer lol; my, how times have changed!
-
See, they've relocated the instruments before and can do so again. They need to stop this religious adherence to Central Park.

Weather photos and record-breaking snowfall
LibertyBell replied to Petrichor's topic in Outdoor and Weather Photography
It's beautiful but I'd be annoyed that you missed 3 feet of snow, a yard stick of snow by 0.1 inch! They better have rechecked that total What was the liquid equivalent of all that snow? -
Conversely looks like LGA rose more than the other stations, is that because of more urbanization? I always see a spike in my car thermometer when I drive through there, even more than in Manhattan or New Jersey for that matter.
-
I was thinking that amazingly hot summer in 1908 might be because of the Tunguska event lol.
-
Wow my post disappeared lol, Take two..... What about 90 degree highs at JFK? The only two record holders I know of are 2010 and 1983 before that. 1983 was an amazing year when you think about it, the only 20 inch snowstorm of the decade here, the wettest year on record by a mile with 80 inches of rain and the hottest and most humid summer on record up to that point.
-
Sounds very 1953-like. What happened so late in the season to make it so hot that year?
-
NY has too many skyscrapers already. These new rectangular shaped monstrosities are disgusting, built by the rich for the rich.
-
I dont understand why it's so difficult to get these people to chop off some vegetation. Otherwise just move the equipment to the Sheep Meadow. Neither should be a big deal.
-
But what about for JFK? If they are #1 during the 2010s it's because of how hot the early part of the period was (2010-2013). Inland locations are definitely getting hotter.
-
Why cant the NWS hire someone to clear the brush if the Park Conservancy wont do it? And did the Park Conservancy give a reason as to why they wont do it? Also why not relocate the equipment to the Sheep Meadow? The equipment has been relocated before within the Park hasn't it?
-
Would these cloud seeding processes we've now seen being implemented in 8 states and some countries like the UAE help?
