Sundog

Where do you keep your boat? I was in Northport on Saturday and there were dolphins in the bay just outside the marina.

It's weird to see Hudson Bay below normal, what caused that this year?

I hope we stay at these temps all day

Greeks do the same thing as well.

They have no stations in eastern Queens anyway, Queens College is the farthest east they get and that's barely east of the Van Wyck. You basically have nothing in the eastern half of the borough that faces Nassau. And technically it was part of the state Mesonet. And the sensor is on the roof of a building 50 feet up.

The end of the 6z GFS reaches September 1st. The end is near

I love climate change talk because I love winter. And my favorite season is Autumn, the biggest casualty of climate change.

It would be pretty weird to discuss hyper local temperature and precipitation trends in a general climate change thread. And departures don't mean shit anymore unfortunately when they're shifting so quick. Your -1 was considered slightly above normal just 5 years ago. I'd rather discuss overall monthly averages and rank them coldest to warmest according to the available record than use departure.

You're free to post as much as you want. No one "controls" the thread.

Complaining about Central Park's bogus readings is a time honored tradition spanning 20+ years. I also hate heat and humidity so you see me comparing temps to the recent past all the time.

What is the distribution of highs at Central Park during the summer season? I always feel like the station is trolling us with what feels like a large number 89s it records.

If I go by Central Park's average for my location, which is probably more in line since its numbers are cooler overall than the more urban spots of the city, the closest ambient station to me is -3.5 degreess so far for the month.

I was just busting your balls But regarding your post, different stations already have their UHI level or general microclimate baked into their averages. Your -5 low might be 58 but my -5 low is more like 63 and LGA's -5 is 66. Many times that's where the difference lies, not that you or other places achieved a greater departure.

You mean -1

@FPizz can't wait to see this post, it's his favorite subject.

Did anyone's gutters get overwhelmed? I just fixed a pitching issue about a week ago and this is the first time it has rained since and today the rain overflowed and went right over the edge of the gutter. It overflowed in an area where the roof, when looking at it from the front, is two triangles side to side with a dip in the middle. Where the dip is the water flows forward like a river toward the street facing gutter. Now I'm wondering if the rain was just too much for any gutter to handle or if I still have a problem.

About 1.3 inches of rain in a 30 minute period.

People should be allowed to swim if they want. Lifeguards or not. Should we hire armed guards to make sure no one sneaks onto the beach after all beachgoers have been escorted off the sand when the lifeguards leave? If the the town put up appropriate signs of dangers then after that it's up to you if you want to ignore them.

6z EURO AI brings the hurricane decently close:

86/75 here right now, definitely the worst day of the week so far.

Meanwhile today I'm cooler than you at 88

You're usually as hot or hotter than me, but I got into the low 90s last two days

Eastern North America is night and day

The 18z GFS has a recurver off the coast next Friday, but with some high clouds and NE or easterly winds, it gets us to near 90 degrees? That's BS

Currently 83/62, luckily the dewpoints haven't gotten crazy
