Sun poking out near ISP.

I’m not expecting anything to happen out here, although more often than not, the best storms I’ve seen out here have come by “surprise”.

I can’t believe I briefly thought Suffolk was going to get a break today. Sky getting dark near ISP, it was just sunny-ish.

Closing in on 4.00” here with 3.99”, I can’t believe it’s still raining.

This is easily top 2 most prolific lightning producing storms I’ve seen in my decade living in LI, possibly number 1. Frequent CTG’s in all directions and surround sound thunder. This was so random.

Yes at around 1650 ft elevation near Lake Harmony.  When I set up my Ambient WS-2000 and Ecowitt HP2584 weather stations I had to find the exact lat long and elevation and it came up with 1531 ft but I think that's wrong because it underdoes my Barometric pressure. I had to adjust it upward by about 0.05 inches on both units.  If you have an easier way for me to calculate my exact elevation I'd appreciate it Chris.  Here are the two numbers I used.

Absolute air pressure

28.55 inches

Relative air pressure

30.08 inches

Is the low absolute air pressure the reason I dont feel the Florida type humidity up here?

I just got an Ecowitt HP2584 a few weeks ago after my Ambient WS2902 died after 8 years, I had a headache trying to find my exact elevation too. Do you find the piezoelectric rain gauge to be accurate?

90/80/107 here now. Crazy how 80-degree dews have become so normal over the past decade or so, I don’t even count them anymore.

85/78/99 here

I've been growing 3 different types of palm since 2017. Needle palm and Sabal Minor dont grow into trees but they are cold tolerant enough to survive our winters completely unprotected. I had some defoliation with this past winter being as harsh as it was but they survived and are growing back well this summer. I also have a Windmill palm which does grow a trunk. You would need to have some protection from the coldest days in the winter for a Windmill palm, but the vast majority of the time you could leave them unprotected. It's truly amazing being able to look out the window when it's 20 degrees outside, everything is dead and brown but the palm trees stay green like evergreens. Wish more people knew they can grow here

Wow, I grow all three species too, but mine are in pots. I bring them inside if lows are forecasted to be in the low 20’s since pots freeze much faster than the ground, but they spend most of the winter outside. My Windmill is about 6 feet tall so it’s becoming a hassle.

I’ve grown more than a dozen other palm species but these 3 are far and away the most rugged, even outside of winter. I too wish they’d catch on here.

87/77/99 here.

We just need some palm trees and we’d be set.

Looked pretty cool coming in to

my north 

My southwest:

Wasn't expecting it at all.

Tiny cell over Central Suffolk looks kinda tornadic to me.

Edit: Radar showing some slight rotation?

Smoke starting to filter in here in Suffolk as well. Temp has “dipped” down to 90.

2.63” here, over an inch more than the entire month of June.

High of only 68 so far, crazy after 100’s just a couple of days ago.

Fireworks have resumed lol.

Mt Sinai wasn’t all that impressive outside of wind 

It felt like a microburst in Coram. Branches down all over the place.

That was wild. I was getting hit with flying debris, barely made it inside.

94/70.

Crazy how a 70 degree dew point can feel so dry.

My weather station hit 99.9 for the high. My OCD is destroying me right now 

Mine stopped working entirely at 99 degrees (and rising) lol. Replacement coming tomorrow.

Every other surrounding station hit at least 100, so I’ll count it.

98/67 here, temp still increasing a little over a degree per hour, it’ll be a close call.

Seabreeze has been stationary for the past few hours, it if moves north that may help.

97/73 at my PWS on the north shore.

92/81 on my Kestrel here on the south shore near ISP.

Feels like a poorly ventilated bathroom but with full sunshine.

93/78 here, HI 108.

Topped out at 90, down to 86 now.

89 here, already surpassed yesterday’s high of 88.

More humid today as well.

Finishing high school in what was nearly July and starting college in August sucked.

88/56 here.

The new sensor for my PWS has been performing well, didn’t really have a temperature issue until recently but the humidity had been running slightly high for years. It’ll be interesting to see if I still get the same nuclear heat indices during high-end heat waves when a sea breeze pushes through.

Got up to 103 here last June and 100 last July, shocked me, I was starting to think deep Long Island couldn’t pull off 100.

105 (in Queens) in July 2011 is still my personal all time highest, it’d be nice to break that eventually.

NYC is a disgrace and should be moved to northeastern Central Park where there’s better siting.

If someone would’ve told me a few years back that most of the country would be in a drought while California was fully moisturized I wouldn't have believed them.
