  1. It’s crazy to think that we’re really watching these climate shifts in realtime. I’m in my 20’s and this is all very noticeable.
  2. They’ve really become quite ubiquitous around here, even the notoriously cold Feb 2015 barely affected them. They’re very attractive trees, though their spring leaf out is among the latest. Crepe Myrtles in Hicksville:
  3. New York Times is about half a century late on the “is now subtropical” part, but the environment is clearly responding to the increased warmth.
  4. Longest light show I’ve ever seen, I watched for 4 hours before falling asleep, it’s a shame it occurred over the ocean instead of just a few miles further north over us. Aug 13, 2016 in CT still takes the cake for the most impressive light show I’ve seen though, 2-3 strikes per second for well over an hour straight, watched it from LI, which of course got nothing. Seen some good ones in Orlando and Tampa too.
  5. 80/70 split today. Temp hasn’t dipped below 70 in a week. Month averaging 87/70 so far. 0.81” fell today, monthly total now 4.55”, most of it from only 3 or 4 events, still pales in comparison to NYC and NJ.
  6. Constant lightning to my south, sky lighting up every 3-5 seconds, makes it feel much closer than it actually is.
  7. 87/73 today, streak over. Got off to a strong start but those mid-day showers/clouds ultimately killed it for us, only 0.03” from the showers anyway, a waste of time. Heat wave: 92, 91, 95, 93, 90. Currently 80/77 (HI 87).
  8. 84/76 here now as well, I think 90 is out of reach, but not impossible. I hope we get slammed later on, Suffolk has been missing out this summer.
  9. It’ll be interesting to see if KNYC can pull off 90+ tomorrow after all of that rain.
  10. 0.21” here, beggars can’t be choosers but radar returns looked more impressive.
  11. Gusty outside with fairly frequent lightning, starting to rain now.
  12. Dark skies to the west, nothing looks to be heading this way though, oh well. Enjoy!
  13. I’m actually surprised it hasn’t already. These high dew summers have really started to feel normal, the 2010’s really stand out on that graph. More evidence of a transition to a more subtropical climate. A bit of an apples to oranges comparison but my PWS is averaging 70.5 so far this month in an area with much more vegetation than ISP.
  14. 87/77 here too. This is a cooler version of what much of Long Island felt like during those heat advisory days.
  15. I-95 south in that part of NE NJ looks like an alien civilization at night. High of 93 here, low was 73. Felt toasty today but far less oppressive than yesterday’s pressure cooker humidity.
  16. 87/70....slightly cooler and much less humid than yesterday.
  17. 91/76/102. High was 95, low was 76. Heat index peaked at 117 (briefly) when the dew point surged when the sea breeze arrived.
  18. 92/78/107 underneath cloud cover, I haven’t seen the sun in about an hour.
  19. 91/80/110 Just lugged a ton of groceries the equivalent of about 4 city blocks and I’m drenched.
