Drought conditions?

If you go through a real drought here: when they shut off fountains, when firework displays are stopped, when lawn watering is rationed or stopped, when a Pope lands and it starts raining and he starts sprinkling his hands with glee...

You would never call a month of somewhat dry weather drought conditions.

Droughts like 1995 will come again. Then you will see how extreme drought conditions are

7am: 39F. Coldest day of the season thus far. 

What an extreme week...

55F Drizzle

-33 degrees since yesterday at 3pm when the storms rolled thru

Very happy for the rain!!

 you’re 100% correct it was  a torch all by itself. Didnt need to get amplified or exaggerated

Back to weather obs...skies are getting black here from a pop up line just to the north of me . One could hope we get some rain in the next little bit ahead of front

87F 56% humidity

Beautiful summer day!

For the people bragging about the 90 call...Many of you called for several days of 90s, weeks of 80s.

If I listened to certain people on this forum, It was going to be 85 from September 20 through today.

So let’s take it easy

I would love to read more about the large Sept/Dec warm ups vs the March snows and the June near-normals for the area over the last decade.

There have to be many theories out there

One thing that the 2010s will be remembered for... Global Warming became local.

Today was a nice fall day for once

64F now

Cool shot looks short with a lot of 70s beyond weekend.

By next week low 70s are solidly AN.

So much for the pattern change (as of today)

Warm and humid out in Wading River this morning. 70F

Huge cool down over last hour.

Down to 74 now. Minus 9 degrees. No rain.

beat temp guidance today by 1 degree. I dont know if that counts as beating anything

83F here.

Two notes...I wanted to compare with others

1. Since the dryness started, as anyone else noticed the surge in mosquito activity? I am getting bitten in my garage!

2. I was in city last night. 78F at 10pm. Bronx 75F. As soon as we got to the entrance to Van Cortland Park 73F. Exit of Van Cortland Park 63F. 63F at home.

The Urban Heat Island is really very strong. It is scary how strong it is. The city no longer cools down at night. What are the long term effects of this? It cant be good!

Howard Stern is using a sound bite from the climate girl “how dare you?” throughout the show today

Very funny

Lots of yellow popping in central westchester.

Very pretty.

71F for the 11am hour.

Somebody better tell the weather outlets about the latest models… They are way off on temperatures for Saturday and Sunday if its going to be in the mid 90s.

48F for low. 49F now

46F this morning. Heat kicked on

I don’t get all the complaining about the wx

This month has been perfect thus far. Mild days, cool nights, humidity in check, some cold, some hot, lots of sun.

We so infrequently get this in New York… I can’t understand why anybody that likes weather hasn’t liked this weather

69F.  47% Humidity

53F this morning

Coldest day this season

Are those 5 days in the 80s 5 days out like this weeks heat wave was?

Just curious

No offense guys but thus far, you’re really over blowing the warmth.

Since the one hot day last week, for all the talk of 80s, We haven’t seen any. 

Today we may do it

This week looks like a bunch of 70s.

Thus far, the heat that guys have been talking about on here has been south of us.

Pleasant, dry 70F for the noon reading in Hastings

Very warm on LI this morning.

Car thermometer already 77F

You can never bet on anything with weather.

Two things you can bet in NYC post 2010: Hot (not warm) Septembers and 55-60 the week before xmas. 

Very sad what has happened here. 

If the trend holds, We will be able to say the 2010s is when climate change became local. 

Hence, the hysteria around it this decade

As a gay man, I love the gay guy commentary on the tornado from the Pines.

Posting today from a cold, misty Juneau

Now it is animals grazing. The latest reason. 

That is the least of our problems.

Humanity needs to fundamentally switch transportation modes and stop emitting fossil fuels.

That can easily be done with electric cars. 

Planes are a problem. And trucks. And machinery. And electrical generation and on and on.

What has become apparent to me, is that none of this is going to happen . There will be incremental cuts to emissions that are reasonable with new technology. And these will be offset by population growth.

Despite a looming threat, humanity will not suffer one day of convenience or comfort or necessity for the sake of cutting emissions.

That is just the reality of humanity.

If the earth explodes tomorrow, it isnt cow poop. It is the two SUVs in the garage, your year round HVAC system and YOUR carbon footprint.

Enjoy a guilt-free burger on me tonight.

And for the record, the Impossible Whopper tastes very much like a veggie burger.

Very cool view of that line across the Sound this evening

5 hour delays to all airports

This is the worst kind of day to fly into NY

It isnt one line of wx...but multiple areas in different locations spanning several hours.

They can never catch up with the backlog

Incoming...

Looks ugly!
