Sundog

I just casually checked a few Ambient weather stations in the green suburbs just west of Newark airport and they mostly topped off at 99 degrees. Newark actually represents actual communities. Central Park only represents the 10 square feet around the station.

I think you'll find Central Park deviates more from the mean compared to Newark. Yesterday I was 98 degrees and I am all single family homes with trees and grass. LGA was also 98. Newark was 100. Central Park though was only 93! Come on bro

My issue with Central Park is the same as Sacrus's, people reference it as the station of record. If it was Islip being stupid I wouldn't care nearly as much.

The station is at the airport though, not in the city of Newark. The city itself is north of the airport, which is not where the wind blows from during heatwaves to begin with. Directly west of the airport, it's all single family homes with grass and trees. I would have posted a screenshot but this stupid forum caps images at 12 kilobytes like it's 1995. Meanwhile the Central Park station is inside the most urban environment in the entire country.

Newark is suburbia and then rural to its west and southwest though. When the winds are westerly or southwesterly during heatwaves, they are blowing over a lot of greenery and open space. The Central Park station is in a mini jungle, improperly sited compared to all the other official stations surrounded by concrete. So the conditions between these two stations are actually the opposite. East Jersey naturally is the hottest area, probably due to some downsloping. Other personal stations in that area even in suburbia get basically as hot as Newark does, you can see them on the Ambient Weather website.

I'm back above my day's high and am at 98 degrees with a 74 degree dewpoint. I didn't think it would get this hot wtf

I peaked at 97 degrees, now 96 degrees. 96/74, what a pleasant afternoon.

Torching here, 95 degrees with a 75 degree dewpoint

I'd like to know how bad things have to get before people are like fcck it just do the stratospheric aerosol injection. I would have already dropped planetary temperatures down to pre industrial levels if I was king of the world. To be fair, I would also be massively transitioning to clean energy and simultaneously be slowly easing off the aerosols over time.

Don't count out stratospheric aerosol injection. Or nuclear winter.

Somerville is reporting 80 degrees with an 80 degree dewpoint and fog/mist. What is this insanity

People who believe in chemtrails on a weather board are like astronomers who believe in flat earth. I guess they never bothered to learn what the "con" in contrails stands for lol

KDIX has been brought back from the dead! For now

My wife told me Aruba isn't as safe as it used to be. Did you notice anything different and what area did you stay in?

Seriously though the worst part of this different climate is the absurd levels the dewpoints reach now on a routine basis.

Sounds like a fine day to take the family out for some fun in the Sun.

This has been an issue for so long that I kind of gotten used to it.

I'm working on an extensive post regarding the issue

All they have to do is chop back enough to where the shadows don't fall on the station post leaf out. The station right now has basically no clearance around it: I have no hope that it will ever have 100 feet of clear land around it, but at least cut back enough to where the shadows aren't all over the station.

Surprisingly I got to 66 or 67 degrees last night. I was wondering how it got so cool in the house, I thought my wife forgot to turn off the AC lol. Then the Sun came up and my temperature jumped 10 degrees in one hour and now I'm 81 degrees.

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?
