Dark Star

I guessing upwelling from the Hurricane that scooted off to our east about 2 weeks ago?

And on September first, PhiEaglesFan712 said fall had set in...

I'll take your word for it, though you ocean boaters probably aren't phased by 50 degrees and an onshore fetch...

Excellent. Thanks

Thanks again.

Not too bad, just finished weed whacking...

I could imagine the welcoming sign driving into El Azizia, "El Azizia - Home of the False Highest Temperature Never Recorded"...

Now one of the debaters has introduced that the net global cloud cover has been decreasing. This is the first time I have heard this. I just assumed the opposite, since warmer air holds more moisture?

I'm having a civil discussion (or so I think) on a social media site. I was under the impression that the oceans were absorbing CO2, which has led to increased warming of the oceans. The other person said that according to Henry's Law, as the oceans warm, the they degas CO2. Does anyone have an in depth explanation? My naive assumption was based on something I had heard years ago. Earlier projections on the warming global temperatures were thought incorrect during a decreased period, I believe that occurred in the 1980s? The explanation was that the oceans began absorbing CO2, which slowed the atmospheric warming during that period? Perhaps I remembered incorrectly, which wouldn't be the first time.

Sorry, that is contradictory. I laugh when I see people wearing sandals shorts, a coat and a winter ski hat.

Dunno. Most TDs form coming off the coast of Africa. Depending on conditions as they cross the Atlantic, they begin to deepen. I know once a Tropical storm is formed, they can explode when they hit warmer waters, in the Caribbean and Gulf. It would be simplistic to say that just because the Western Atlantic is warmer than normal that we will have more Tropical systems, but it would be a decent (somewhat blind) guess?

Sorry, this is how my brain works...

There are many factors that go into Hurricane Season predictions, but the easiest is to assume that the ultra warm Gulf would enhance any system? Looks like the Hurricane season predictions will be wrong 2 years in a row?

The average high temperature for Newark NJ this time of year is around 78 to 79 F. We are going to be above normal.

Aren't we supposed to get 80 degree days? That's summer weather in my book.
