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.
