I’d say 25 years is a good run! We got pummeled last night and this morning. Well over 2 inches. Probably pushing closer to 4 with this morning’s storm. Some tremendous amounts of rain. I’m going to have to figure out the basement over the next few days as we are traveling next week. This has been a week for us. A leaking toilet, the basement, and the washing machine decided to end its life. Fixed the toilet and have new washer and dryer coming early this week. Only the basement is left to fix!

Well the good news is I found where the water is coming into my basement. The bad news is water is coming into my basement. Huge storm here dropped a ton of water in just twenty minutes. How do we all feel about Dryloc on a basement cinder block wall? Good idea or must this be tackled outside via digging? It is a small seepage.

Unlucky in the Hudson valley. Sun came out briefly but was deeply overcast. Now at a renegades ball game versus the Brooklyn cyclones so happy it is cloudy.
-
Last weekend and now today deeply overcast. I am bad luck when off.
-
We haven’t even been in a dry spell across the whole area. We had a very wet spring in most of the area and the little bit of dryness has largely been wiped out this past week.

Just got back from Watch Hill, RI. It was a freezing weekend relative to the time of year. Highest it got was 74 all weekend. Today was humid but not atypical. Got home to a basement though with water. Neighbors said we got unrelenting rain here. Tired of these heavy heavy storms.

Very hard to have a heat wave like we just had. I've learned to never say never, but I could see many 3 day heat waves this summer.
-
We begin building heat again next Saturday and beyond. No 70s in the forecast.

It's not just about your backyard. Boston area was around 100 today and Burlington VT did not go below 80 last night. This is the equivalent of you yelling about the media going on about a northeast blizzard when you get rain while Boston, Hartford, and Albany are buried under 3 feet.

The AC is struggling in this M3 relic of a metro north train. Hot and humid in multiple cars of the train. You know it is sticky when you can hear human flesh peeling off the seats at each stop…

While still hot and much above average, the Euro completely failed with temps this week. Even the "over the top" warming looks less impressive. Most of the city will struggle to get 3+ days in the 90s. The shore will be 'cooler'. Thankfully my nephew is at a sailing camp this week with no ac, so that will be good for him at least. Looking forward though it looks like the cool mornings are over and we are in the Florida like dew period we have become accustomed too.

Not to mention the ocean water is still cold to my likes. Then again if it is 100, freezing my you know what may be better.
-
I mean it will be a cool down from 100s, but still above average. I suppose once you have been that warm mid 80s will feel chilly. My AC tuneup was going to be tomorrow, they rescheduled for the 22nd because of the number of emergency calls they are already getting as people turn on their ac for the first time this season. I am hoping mine is fine, but I am worried the refrigerant might be a bit low (hopefully no coil leak).
-
If we can avoid the super high dews, then the nights should allow AC's to catch up overnight. But if we get the high dews it may limit the high 90s/low 100 potential but would keep lows in the upper 70s swamp central. I'd be more than happy with lower 90s with moderate dews, but I feel like our options are lower 90s with 70 dews or upper 90s/low 100s and 60 dews. At least this will take the "chill" out of the swimming pools in the area.

They might be shareholders in ConEd or Eversouce . I'm with you, the past few weeks have been glorious minus the trees having sex in public.

If we use Central Park for 90 degrees then yeah. That site hasn’t represented Manhattan climate in awhile. It is literally in dense canopy. All I’m saying is calling for 5-11 days of 90+ in early June, when 90 degree days happen well into September is pretty bold call. Especially with guidance looking the way it looks right now. Most of the long range guidance continues to show plenty of chances at 90 just this month.

Not always! I was very optimistic this past winter! Older I get the more I appreciated the cold cold weather with lots of snow. I do like the hot weather too but only when I am near water. This past week has been incredible with warm days and cool to cold nights. On the flip side I do usually talk about tick-borne and mosquito-borne diseases a lot this time of year.
-
I was referring to the 5-11 90+ degree days. Might have the 5 by the end of next week.
-
This isn’t going to age very well looking at the long term.

I'm definitely taking the under on this. El Niño to La Niña are typically very hot summers and even with a "cool" pattern we are still solidly above average (many of our highs as well have been just above normal). Back door fronts also tend to disappear by the time we get to late June. I think once the humidity kicks on, it is wall to wall 80s-90s all summer. Models are already hinting at this.

Lots of lightning here on the Patterson, Pawling border. Not much rain yet.
-
Oh goodie I was just wondering when we would receive our next round of urban flooding. Our parkways haven't been underwater in a few months. /s

The models for warming have actually been consistently under estimating the amount of warming. Even this month is roughly average (with the elevated averages). We are just feeling it more because our daytime departures have been normal or below, while overnight lows drive the departure. Most climatologists did predict that the northeast would see more spring blocking with a warming climate. But note that even with overall planet warming, the AMOC slowing is going to change the temperature in the northern hemisphere in a big way. Right now it moves a TON of warmth into the northern hemisphere. If that continues to slow and break down (thanks to the melting off Greenland), then we will see a big change to cold, especially in Europe. Many papers in the scientific literature about it in the past few years, but here is one from Popular Mechanics: https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/environment/a46989602/amoc-collapse/.

It’s all part of the water cycle. We aren’t getting rid of the issue. I’m well aware of sea level rise as I’m and environmental scientist. As for pollination there is no “excess” in pollination. Wind pollinated plants don’t have the option to pinpoint where their pollen goes. Until wind pollinators grow penises they must make an abundance of pollen to even have a shot at successfully mating. Then we have a whole issue with insect pollinating plants losing their pollinators because of the non-target effects of pesticides. It really isn’t an easy solution to any of our problems. But blasting water to space is not a wise idea as it is a larger energy reserve than even all the fossil fuels on the planet. It stores so much heat. Lose that and we have huge issues.
