  1. Both are cement jungles isolated from the nearby water…thus skewing temp readings warmer than surrounding areas.
  2. I wish there were as many complaints about the EWR readings as there were about CPK. When you see EWR hotter than anywhere else including PHL, something is off
  3. The real warming seems to have occurred with nighttime lows not dropping to our historical numbers. The experts on this forum correctly surmise that the air is more humid and the lapse rate is slower in air that is more moist. The bulk of your heavy warming has a occurred there. We are firmly in a subtropical climate at this point where our daytime highs and nighttime lows are only going to be separated by 10 or so degrees on our extreme days. Going forward, that factor is already baked in… Which means you’re just going to be dealing with normal warming trends… which if predictions are correct, won’t be nearly as alarming
  4. I just want to state that we have to use the new normal numbers. There has to be an official benchmark and that’s the new normal. If not we sow chaos . Using actual temperature data comparisons is great to show warming over 120 years…but let’s stop the 1980s 30 year average numbers at this point.
  5. I bet you a lot of that stops now that we’ve been thru the real thing. A snowstorm with a day in the house seems laughable now
  6. You always say the weekend is looking like a rainout. One of these days it will happen
  7. I don’t want to read one complain about it!! hahaha
  8. 78F 80% humidity. Mosquito fest. Absolutely disgusting out. I’m going to sound old but I never remember a regular baseline weather like this in this area. It just makes you not want to go outside in what is supposed to be an outdoor season
  9. Also, the extreme drought rockies-westward that we didnt experience this winter. Snowfall was way off, where our snowfall and rainfall hasnt been. Sets up a crisis situation out west
  10. 52F at 630am This weather is a gift!
  11. It was absolutely brutal today. SLC had a temp of 37C when we took off
  12. I’m in Salt Lake City right now. lt is 100°F.. The high is expected to be 103. Tomorrow 105. For perspective the normal high is 82F Take a look at any weather app I and go out two weeks. I don’t see one day that is not 15° above normal or more. This is a very scary Ridge. Hope that it does not move east and hope that these people catch a break out here because it is dry as a bone and we are just getting started. This is a tinderbox. Very bad situation out west.
  13. It is a mental thing. Same with snowstorms...the best ones are always the ones that are unexpected
  14. Dont justify that with an answer. A lot of us in this forum have two multiple houses. 45° F, pouring. Heat has been on for two days. Even the secondary heat in the basement has kicked on. I’m having a barbecue later and I’m going to light the fireplace and the drink du jour will be hot toddies
  15. I think gnats really thrive on moisture as well. I just know from the beach house when it is still and humid...That’s when they are out in force. We just live in a different climate in terms of humidity then we did 30 years ago
  16. Heat kicked on. Happy Memorial Day!
  17. I wish the double 52s were the most unbelievable thing on that chart
  18. There is more a play here though. Our minimums have been increasingly warm, but haven’t had the extreme upper 90s/low 100s that we used to have. The obvious answer is that moist air cools and heats slower. People on here like to pick on the Central Park reading three months of the year for temps, 3 months a year for snow, and ignore the problems for the other 6 months...But I would be curious to know if a densely forested park in the middle of an urban heat Island is experiencing this phenomenon to a greater degree. The airports are easy; particularly LaGuardia and Newark...They are slabs of cement in densely populated areas. JFK is much larger, has much more open space with grass, is in a national park, and is abeam the Atlantic Ocean. But I wonder if there is more to this than ASOS placement. Has anyone actually visited the ASOS recently and seen the conditions around it?
  19. This is north. I bet city sees a sprinkle in eastern sections Yonkers-> Oyster Bay track
  20. Thunderstorms inbound. Surprised no posts about it
  21. 46F Everyone loves the beautiful weather However, let’s not mask the fact that this is yet another relentless +10 period. It is way too early for this, with no extended normal weather in sight. Very alarming...again
  22. 30F frost. high yesterday 65F. Rockies weather. Very nice 33F at Cross County 39F at Bronx line 43F in Queens The urban heat island on these above normal days always fascinates me in its strength.
  23. 45F Dense Fog. less than 1/4 vis I love a foggy morning!
