Not a drop here

76>65 spread today, 71 now. I'm not appreciating the smoke. It's dry, I could use some rain. 

Some of the deep summer green is fading especially in the lower levels of the the ground growth, there's also a lot more lower pine tree die-off than before. I'll be up in the Daks next week so I'm betting I'll see a bit up there.

I’m in Montauk and it’s gorgeous. 
 

55 at home this morning 

I did a day at Montauk last week, ended up at Robert Moses today. Looking at Smith Point next week. Boy, you couldn't have ordered a nicer week to be out there. 

Which LI beach should I go to today? 

What a beautiful day to be outside here in the heart of the Taconics at the Blueberry Festival in Austerlitz. Gonna have purple poops for days 

Looks like we're gonna get wet

Well that was a dud. I did get some pretty good wind, brought a good sized branch down in the front yard. I barely got any rain though, .01. 

Clouds are back and the wind is up, temp is down 5° and dp is down 11°. Storms are on the way.

Hopefully the nicer weather doesn’t mean smoke comes back. 

The AQI is mid 50s to 60s here today. It got grey a little while ago when the clouds broke up. Hopefully the wind moves it out soon.

Popped 90° here on the hill, still 86-88 and climbing around most of town. 

Overcast and 75°. Big heat? 

IMO, We just finished up our ~20 year snowy transition period a few years ago. Unless this AMOC shutdown happens we're pretty much done with winter outside of isolated periods. 

.85

Europe freezes

A quick .85 and a 20+ degree temp drop. 

.6 came down hard and fast, light rain now.

Check this new paper about a potential forthcoming AMOC collapse:

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-39810-w

“We predict with high confidence the tipping to happen as soon as mid-century (2025–2095 is a 95% confidence range).”

This is pretty wild. I know the AMOC has a fast and a slow state, and I believe the last time the AMOC was believed to be in the slow state was the Younger Dryas just prior to the start of the Holocene, caused likely by the meltwater pulse of the Laurentide ice sheet. 

Very cool. I've been following this for a few years now. I guess we should all make sure we get to the beach this year to enjoy the warm water. 

Gonna go boom

I've been watering the hanging plants for 3 days, did the ground today and it soaked it right up. 

Hey @Juliancolton are you getting this t-storm? It slid by west of me. 

It doesn't get much nicer than this for midsummer

I am thinking those record SSTs along the Canadian Maritimes helped with all time the record warm minimum in that area recently.

So I'm picturing a Cat 4 or 5 energized by 95° water beating up the GOM, transiting FL while it's looking for some Gulf Stream Good Juice and then running up the coast, following that pretty red ribbon, hammering 50 million people in the US before restrengthening off the Canadian coast and causing outright mayhem as it sits and spins groovin' on the bathtub water.

No? 

I'm up in Provincetown Mass. Last night was pretty wild with bands of heavy to torrential windblown driving rainshowers. We got caught walking a few times and in the worst round it was total driving by Braille. Fun stuff  Today it's gorgeous but super humid and mid 80s. I love the beach... 

So far this first round has mostly split and gone around me. Less than .2 but there's a thin line that looks like it's gonna at least clip me.
