Just the rain story alone is a big deal after what we went through Thursday.
-
I am shocked to see so many writing this storm off especially on the waste of time that is social media. This is going to be a very serious storm for most of CT and parts of LI. The ground is already completely saturated from Fred. I’ve been in central CT and we still have roads that had huge issues Thursday. The power companies are struggling to stay ahead for preps.

It is a deceptive map. It is 1-year change in SST map, not a SST anomaly. Last year was very warm, and this year is still above average too.
-
This is the first summer of my life I can’t wait to end. This pattern has to break at some point. Dreary weather in the midst of summer is brutal. I really feel for seasonal businesses this year, especially after a tough 2020.

While I am a summer and winter enthusiast, this summer has been in the bottom for me. I really hope we can pull of a dry, beautiful fall after this gross summer. The standing water has really increased the mosquito population to the point where it is uncomfortable too go outside near wet areas. The ticks have also been off the charts, but that was predicted after the winter we had. Luckily this summer I have an administrative and teaching role otherwise I’d be out there collecting ticks for surveillance. While I normally enjoy some field work, this summer is worse than most. Bottom line though, always check for ticks!

Which is exactly average for them! https://www.foresthillweather.com/PHP/Metar2/AntarcticaAverages.php Pretty intense weather to experience.

It will always be easier to get hotter with drier air, hence Seattle.

I’ve spent a lot of time in Florida during my life and the biggest difference is they still actually see sunshine on days when it rains. I feel like we are more tropical rain forest like with rain every few hours and constant clouds. Lately once it starts to rain it just doesn’t let up. So far this has not been an enjoyable summer for seasonal businesses, pools, golf courses, etc.

This weather is so bizarre for July. 43 degrees colder than just a few days ago. Absolutely stunning.
-
It’s a huge player. Problem is our warm layer is very shallow so one storm will bring temps way down. Also ND and Newfoundland don’t get hit regularly. Many times the storms are already post-tropical when they make landfall up there. That’s also why a slow moving storm up the coast with cool SSTs will die out much faster than a fast mover.

Based on their data though it seems to have a cold bias. Also, the same can literally be said for every weather model in existence: "sometimes they are the worst, sometimes they are the best, and most of the time they are in the middle."

Hold up… You of all people did not insist on a winter wedding? I for sure thought when you were tying the knot you’d be getting married on top of Mount Washington in February! Congrats though!
-
It is June and less than a week into “summer”. Don’t think we can say that. It would be like saying no record cold this winter on December 29th.

A quick hike down to the nude beach will cure that boredom… /s

Those would be dewpoints on that map…

Why do so many of us northerners pretend that sea level rise will not affect our region? New Jersey, NYC, Long Island, etc are all at a major risk for sea level rise. Sure Florida is in big trouble but we can't pretend that our infrastructure is ready for climate change either. After all CT leads the nation power grid disruption with the majors storms we have experienced during the past decade. Lower Manhattan is especially prone to flooding as are the subway tunnels as Hurricane Sandy showed us. Sunny day flooding events are up all along the Jersey shore. Let's also point out that over the past decade the tri-state has had more direct effects from tropical systems than the eastern shore of Florida. All regions have risks from climate change, but I won't bet my life savings on Albany or Buffalo becoming major draws in the next 20-30 years.

Think you mean 2.0 above normal right?
-
I just miss 60-85. We never get that I feel anymore. It is either super humid and gross or gross and rainy like today was up there. Although this is the most comfortable I have ever been in Florida this time of year. Pool heater has to kick on each morning.
-
Yeah but 70s and dry would make for a banner Memorial Day weekend especially with last year.
-
How do you love that weather (I’m in Florida) but claim to love baseball? Want to go to a game in that crap?
-
Can confirm. In Vermont today and it is not only hot but it is very dry. Arizona like days! Cool nights and hot days. Back to ny tomorrow then Florida.
-
It would be very hard (but not impossible) here because of our geography too. Unless that cold is coming directly from the north, but even then we would probably also see some moderation from the Great Lakes to the west and warmer Atlantic waters to the east.
-
The lack of an ocean nearby. Any inland climate is able to have larger fluctuations than we are. The midwest is infamous for huge temperature swings.
-
It really depends. Lyme disease is a tight cycle with nature. Currently our numbers in the tri-state for number of ticks infected is actually dropping steadily for Lyme while it is increasing to the north. We do have other diseases though that are increasing. However, Lyme is and will remain a serious threat. Ticks do not like extreme cold but snowless winters, and they don’t do well with warm winters either. They can’t fully enter diapause so end up burning through more lipid when they aren’t active.

Some of those biting insects and arthropods keep some of us paid! But this season does have the markings for an above average tick season.
