I suspect as with the leap in record highs over the previous records that we'll eventually see a leap in sea ice decline that will rival or exceed the 2012 anomalous drop.
Probably not this year but it's only a matter of time.
How is heat exciting? It's just miserable and most people stay inside anyway.
The only way it would be exciting from a meteorological perspective is if we challenged all time highs like in the Pacific NW.
I much prefer storms but it appears we won't even get that.
Temps maxed out in the mid 90s. I'm surprised EWR went to 100+
Tomorrow we could see higher surface temps due to lower dews. Forecast is 98F currently.
Ugly timing but welcomed relief.
If it's this hot now I can't imagine how it's gonna be during peak climo.
Of course sometimes the worst heat comes early but I don't think this will be one of those times.
Really sucky timing with the ULL slowly coming through Thursday into the weekend.
Cool, cloudy & showery weather at best throughout. Funny since we quickly warm up right after too.
Our mid 90s this week look cool in comparison though I'm sure the dews will make up for it.
Tomorrow looks even hotter for Portland & especially Seattle.
