I really think that NWS not giving a shit after 20+ years of this crap just makes the stereotype of government inefficiency look true. This is such an easy fix, no technical knowledge needed. It can be fixed in one day.

Peaked at 93 here, now closer to 90. The 78 degree dewpoint is just brutal.

We need a WTF emoji lol

Three different wind fronts interacted with each other on KDIX radar just south of @FPizz land.

I'm in the low 90s. I thought it was supposed to be like 87 today?

International shipping (which was a major source of aerosol pollution) also became much cleaner like in 2020 or something like that. Tack that on top of the rising temps too.

Feb 2006. But yea I remember when they adjusted January 2016 to be above that storm and become number 1. Feb 2006 was uber fluff anyway and that 26.9 inches was snowboard derived plus ultra local, I had closer to 20. January 2016 had 30 inches DEPTH and over a very large area, it was BS for that storm to not be number 1.

As far as I'm concerned it was broken, I don't have to pretend that Central Park is accurate.

That 89 is really something it's like the station is trolling us

I'm in favor of anything that will bring the average global temperature down. People say you can't run a global experiment like that without knowing the outcome. Oh but running a fossil fuel driven global experiment is no problem? We're already doing something bad, might as well mitigate the effects!

The event is extremely unlikely but not impossible. Plus early 80s was peak aerosol pollution, we had capped climate change through air pollution. Then there is also natural variability.

Those were the days

Clouds are getting thinner around the area, temps might rise in response. The Sun is a beast this time of year

Are almost all of these fake midnight highs?

Your article from which these pics came from has a line that supports my position: "In Wales, a 10-year study looking at the presence of anxiety and depression in 2.3 million medical records, found that the greenest home surroundings were associated with 40% less anxiety and depression than those living in the least green areas." We aren't meant to live piled up on top of one another.

What sucks is living on top each other is not healthy. People underestimate the psychological damage constant noise does to a human for example. Air pollution will be worse no matter how "clean" a city gets compared to suburbs/rural. For people, I think overall it's much better to live on that half acre lot than living like an ant colony. For the planet obviously it's better if people concentrated in as few urban centers as possible and left everything around alone.

Growing up and spending summers in Greece I would visit my grandparents that lived JUST outside a small town (population ~5,000.) At the edge of the village/town it would turn into fields of open land and about 500 meters into the fields was my grandparents' home. Walking back from the town at night toward the house I could EASILY feel the temperature drop by several degrees once I would get to the edge. It was like walking into an air conditioned room. So I have first hand experience of a village or small town causing an obvious UHI even though people think a population center that small would be too insignificant to cause such an effect.

The illness you suffer from is a mental one, not a physical one lol

The GEMLAM is broken. Even at 6z it showed temps of near 90 in Queens and Nassau at 2PM! Meanwhile we're in the upper 60s to low 70s.

I think going forward the only realistic way this happens is if we get these June heatwaves. With the warmer planet and warmer water it would be hard to get into the 60s in July following a major heatwave, but in June when the water isn't as warm yet it's more realistic, CAA not so much but still more likely in June rather than July.

Still 70 here, models like to overdo highs on days with backdoor coldfronts and cloudy skies.

0Z Euro for 2PM: No way this verifies

Many models yesterday had a stripe of mid 80s for 2PM today in NYC and western LI because they showed temps never really dropping below the upper 70s. Needless to say they all busted pretty badly.

Even July 1936 which has the 106 record in Central Park finished below normal using today's fake averages. Our baseline is higher and we don't get those nice coolshots in between the heat episodes like we used to, or at least they are much more rare.

I should specify northeastern Queens
