Newark did not get much rain the last few days...me too and I'm at 93 now...

I had to water the lawn before…

Ditto

sunny...90 but feels like 103...

zippo...

Drove home from PA. and the car thermometer went from around 80 in Byram to 88 passing Piscataway on 287...when I got home to Staten Island it was 83...

I can't believe its mid July and it's going to get hot...who would have dunc it...

we need a rainmaker... How a rainmaker saved NYC from drought — and became public enemy No. 1 (nypost.com)

we might be seeing a long period with minimums above 70 in NYC...

not really...it was cooler than any place around the house at night and on par with other places during the day...

I never liked those shields...A big weather box or shelter was the old way...

I remember back in July 1963 during a breezy cool morning when fallen leaves were blowing around as if it was the Fall...this dry period is a nuisance...

Airports need help when the temperature is near freezing and what kind and how much precipitation is falling...ice on runways etc...thunderstorms in the summer time need to be monitored...so if its sunny and 80 degrees you can take days off or have long lunch breaks...

automation needs to be checked by manual instruments...otherwise bad readings go unnoticed...

Newark NJ precipitation... decade.....annual average...most least... 1931-40..........40.08"..........47.40"...30.53"... 1941-50..........44.34"..........51.18"....34.06"... 1951-60..........43.01"..........53.30"...35.08"... 1961-70..........37.04"..........45.37"....26.09"... 1971-80..........46.95"..........56.10"....35.19"... 1981-90..........47.87"..........65.50"....35.04"... 1991-00..........44.00"..........58.07"...36.74"... 2001-10..........46.85"..........56.33"...31.44"... 2011-20..........48.86"..........69.91"....36.35"... average..........43.90"...................................... most.... 69.91" in 2011... 65.50" in 1983... 59.47" in 2018... 59.01" in 1984... 58.56" in 2019... 58.07" in 1996... 56.33" in 2003... 56.10" in 1979... 54.49" in 2007... 53.99" in 1989... least... 26.09" in 1965... 29.52" in 1963... 30.53" in 1935... 30.00" in 1931 est... 31.44" in 2001... 33.42" in 1964... 34.06" in 1949... 34.39" in 1970... 35.04" in 1981... 35.08" in 1957... ...................................... wettest decade...50.70" from 2002-2011... driest decade......37.04" from 1961-1970...

a real drought is far different from a dry period we are having now...if it continues for another 10 years it would equal the 1956-1965 period...

when the next heat wave hits and you live in Newark, how you gonna know?...

Newark could use some of this greenery today...

1975 oni is like this year...1956, 1975, and 2000 were second year la ninas going on a third...all were cool summers...

thats been the theme in my area for a while now...

92 imby today...82 now...Newark Firehouse on Hillside ave was only 86 today...

so far we have not had sustained heat unless you live near Newark...I don't mind whats going on so far...A few hot days followed by cooler drier days...the alltime highest July minimum for July is 67 set in 2020...tonight NYC might get down to 65...last July NYC got into the upper 50's for the first time in ten years in July...from 1972-1979 NYC got down into the 50's during July...

coupled with a la nina it could be like 2010 and 2020...

it has a wnw wind while most other sites are sse...Hobroken is 90 with a west wind...
