this is a form of self regulation by the planet.
-
most of us lived through that lol, we remember as the 90s as being much hotter (temperature wise anyway)
-
it's not ironic though many of our best winters are preceded by extreme heat. Examples 1955, 1966, 1977, 1993, 1995, 2002, 2010.
-
I think it might be tough to break them because it rains much more now. Have to remove all that water vapor (another potent greenhouse gas) and convert it to drinking water.
-
But still had our longest two week of heat ever and even hit 104 degrees in NYC and 100+ a few more times. Our climate has become a joke now, too much rain and cutoff lows which we never used to see in May before. With climate modification the first thing I would do is destroy upper level lows.
-
I let the pros grow veggies (read I buy them from organic grocery stores), but I do grow flowers and mine look like pancakes from this excessive rainfall. The first thing I would do with weather modification is put an end to cutoff lows. Showers and Tstorms that come at night after a sunny hot day are fine, not days and days of this Ireland weather crap. I'd like to know why cutoff lows are on the increase and especially in May, when they never used to happen this late in the season back in the 80s and 90s.

we're going to have so much mold and fungus from this
-
What do you think of the possibilities of the two ridges connecting with each other (creating a ridge bridge as it were lol.)
-
Yes that HI will be miserable for us. It was a few years ago that JFK set their HI record (on back to back days!), both days had a high of 99 and a HI of 117, a true weekend from Hell (complete with power outages!)

1980 summer here we come :-)
-
The Euro might be wrong about that third one, the NWS has us going into a drier and warmer pattern starting on May 11th (Mothers Day) for an extended period.
-
But the X link Tony posted indicated a dry summer for us? Why are these cutoffs becoming much more common, is it because of climate change too? Back in the 80s and 90s our Mays were much warmer and drier and we didn't see cutoffs after April.
-
Drier and Warmer weather for an extended period likely to arrive just in time for Mother's Day (May 11th).

The only two summers in the 1970s that jump out at me for heat were 1973 and 1977. Before then, our historically hot summers occurred in an 11 year cycle (1944, 1955, 1966.) 1977 still has our hottest two week stretch on record. Of course the 1980s and 1990s were much hotter, 1980 got things started with a historic CONUS heatwave. If I remember correctly the following summers were very hot: 1980, 1983, 1988, 1991, 1993, 1995, 1999, 2002, 2010-2013 Actually that 11 year solar cycle has still prevailed for summer heat, with a few other years thrown in. Map these years for summer heat: 1933, 1944, 1955, 1966, 1977, 1988, 1999, 2010. I think that pattern was broken in 2021 when we didn't have that kind of heat.
-
The climate models were wrong, they actually predicted an average of 3 100 degrees annually for NYC by 2045 and I just don't see that happening.
-
it's going to change the Monsoon season in Asia that's for sure, computer simulations show it moving south with SO2 being added to the atmosphere.
-
That would be an interesting twist, use fusion to both replace fossil fuels and remove carbon from the air (and also from the water, I see that is already underway-- carbon in the water leads to coral acidification so it's important to remove.) We'll also be removing some water vapor from the atmosphere (another greenhouse gas) and use that water vapor to make drinking water for developing nations. This is also important, as water vapor is as much of a villain as carbon dioxide is.
-
The Yankees are playing in this weather lol.
-
The comparison to the great K-T event is what would finally fix our climate change and human overpopulation problem, both in one shot.
-
meanwhile the steady rain is back here
-
how do you feel about these ideas to drop insolation 1-2 percent by introducing SO2 particles into the upper atmosphere? it would have to be done on a yearly basis, beginning around 2030
-
that's probably why the rich guys want to leave the planet John.
-
I went less humidity but more heat.
-
it goes beyond that, look into the gap in 100 degree highs at JFK, it's been increasing, currently we have set the new record for the longest gap in 100 degree days in station history. Ever since 1966 the gap has been growing larger. The oceans do absorb the heat but hopefully that is about to come to an end and JFK will once again get 100 degree days with a shorter gap like we used to before. The other sign is the complete absence of 7+ day heatwaves since 2002. These were more common in the 70s, 80s and 90s but we haven't had a 7+ day heatwave in NYC since 2002 (when we had two) and 1999 (when we also had two).

ended here before 2 pm
