BuffaloWeather

pretty much the same pattern the last 10 months https://twitter.com/chris_sowers/status/1278428240760262656

I would definitely recommend AC around here. Our summers are hot and especially humid near the lake. Out in the country away from water, it is not as bad with less humidity.

Happy 4th everyone! 87 at Buffalo as of 1 PM. Should get close to 90 with a NE breeze.

8-10 90+ days would be so difficult here. Rochester I would almost guarantee it. With the lake erie breeze, you never know.

Can't believe I missed that day! I wish there was somewhere to confirm 10 being the most 90+ days. Before the early 1940s the recording station was right on the lake which would have made it nearly impossible to hit 90 so that graph is likely correct at 10 being the max.

Summer of 2018 was very warm with 6 90+ days and loads of 89s. Had potential to break the record. June-Sep averaged +3.1 which is insane for summer.

We're at 2 so far this year. June 10th hit 90 and today. June also had an 89 and 2 88s. First 2 days of July had highs of 87. 90+ is very rare in Buffalo region due to the lake breeze. June finished at +.8 for the month.

Tough to find any good info about 90 degree days in Buffalos history, found this chart. Looks like 10 is the max? This only goes up to 2008, but I don't think we beat 10 in the last 12 summers.

The local record for the longest stretch of days in which the temperature reached or exceeded 90 degrees is seven, from July 3 to July 10, 1988 https://buffalonews.com/news/local/buffalo-flirts-with-90-degree-temps-with-longer-heat-wave-on-the-way/article_15134b08-a2cf-5f79-b19a-f693f7414714.html

GFS has Buffalo at 96 on Monday.

Did we get 89'd again today?

I plan to do either a NW road trip or SW road trip this September for 2 weeks depending on where COVID dies down.

It's snowing in Wyoming in July though. https://capcity.news/latest-news/2020/07/01/wyomings-togwotee-pass-gets-snow-on-first-day-of-july/

I believe this year will beat 2012 for the lowest arctic sea ice on record.

Just saw this earlier...INSANE https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/2020/06/what-100-degree-day-siberia-means-climate-change/ https://www.sciencenews.org/article/siberia-verkhoyansk-record-heat-wave-arctic-circle Buffalo has never hit 100.

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... ...Heat Advisories May Be Needed for Much of this Period... An upper level ridge will push eastward this period, pushing 850 hPa temperatures of +18 to +21C across our region. However, with the westerly flow aloft, and no deep southerly flow transporting Gulf of Mexico moisture northward...moisture will not increase dramatically and PWATS through much of the period range from 1.0 to 1.5 inches. This moisture (PWATs just over 1.5 inches) and surface dewpoints will peak Tuesday night and Wednesday ahead of a shortwave trough. Surface temperatures will build with mid 80s to lower 90s common through the period. With the drying ground it is not out of the question that we could see some mid 90s...especially in the Genesee Valley where winds will downslope. Though hot, moderate levels of humidity will hold back apparent temperatures early in the week...and not until mid-week as surface moisture increases that we may near heat advisory levels (95F). Nighttime temperatures will provide little relief either as they remain in the low 70s in most locations. Have aimed above most guidance packages for temps...staying in the upper quartile of packages.

I don't remember a heat wave like this since I've been on these forums. Maybe 2012? Already 87 degrees at KBUF, should be close to 90 by 4.

This July has a chance to be the warmest ever if modeling is correct.

The GFS showed 90s for the next 2 weeks.

That AC guy I talked to said best time to install is March/April where they essentially install at cost. Right now it would be $1,000 more because of the demand. So next year I will be getting it installed in the beginning of the year.

Where did you find that data wolf? Can you post Buffalos?

When are you moving there? At least you're still in the forum! They have decent totals down there, and good retention at that elevation.

There are 32 Hospitalizations in WNY related to COVID. There are a million people in WNY. That is .0032% of people. Open up the gyms...

Except there are some really old AC/Heating systems installed in these large places of business, especially malls. Having talked to a guy who has been doing heating/cooling for decades in my office today, it would be quite the investment...What he is asking is different then installing a new air filter.

Cuomo wants to run for president soon. He's making this extremely political. First he said it was all about flattening the curve. We've done that already. There are only 226 people in the ICU in the entire state right now. Now he wants to make movie threatres, gyms, sporting venues upgrade there AC units to be able to better filtrate the air inside these places? He just placed the entire state on lockdown for nearly 4 months. Does he honestly think these places have the money to do this? After a successful vaccine is found it takes upwards of 6 months to even get enough doses to give to everyone in the country to have any type of success. Does that mean we are another full year away from fully opening without restrictions?
