Same.

78/76 with the sky beginning to brighten up. 0.96” event total.

0.62” and counting, first storm dropped about 0.50” with rates peaking at 2.50” per hour. And what a perfect time to find out your Rain-X needs to be reapplied, it’s supposed to last 3 months, you’d be lucky if it lasts 3 weeks.

Heat Index has finally fallen below 90. Constant crazy lightning, no rain. I need rain, it only rained once this month.

Got the loud Flash Flood Warning alert whilst in an Apple Store, almost every device went off. No rain yet, but lots of lightning to the north and west.

Could it be that PWS are generally located closer to vegetation which gives off extra moisture?

90/80/107. The air looks very smoky.

Topped out at 92 here. Heat Index topped out at 113. Dew Point topped out at 82, highest ever for my PWS and my personal second highest ever, I was roughly half a mile away from JFK when it hit 84.

Saw billowing Florida-style cumulonimbus clouds to my north. I knew something was brewing, storms now popping up to my northeast.

89/80/107. Totally wasn’t expecting this today.

Dew point just hit 80, again. 86/80/101.

83/78/93. Dews in the mid/upper 70’s are the new 90’s.

77/76 here. Low was 75.

89 for a high here, typical.

I swear high dew point and heat index graphics are to me what major snowfall graphics are to everyone else here.

86.4 for me lol.

Jumping spiders and great black wasps (and a lone katydid) have been keeping things in check for the most part. I sit and watch them comb through my potted plants, they get mostly everything except the caterpillars, so I’ve been having to relocate each one I see into a large tree. They were shredding everything that wasn’t poisonous until I began moving them. I used to be super arachnophobic and equally creeped out by bees/wasps until I began growing things. Still don’t like when they get too close, but I’ll tolerate them if they’re at least 2 feet away from me.

Lol I’m also at Cedar Beach, but on the north shore east of Port Jefferson. Also hit 92 at home, cooler here on the beach though with the wind blowing off the LI Sound, probably mid 80’s here.

89/71. Hit 90 for the first time this month.

88/75/97. No complaints at all, feels regular at this point.

Finished with 0.38” which I suppose is better than nothing. Month is now at 0.39”.

I know, I used to think LI climo was very straightforward, but it has a ton of little quirks and kinks. Fun to witness during temperature extremes.

89 is my max so far, same as yesterday. Currently I have four 89’s and three 90+’s. I’ll be starting a petition to lower the heat wave threshold from 90 to 89.

I wish I could bookmark this post, I get sick of having to explain this to people outside of this board. Central Park’s “cooling trend” is a go to for those in denial of climate change, they then blame warming trends elsewhere on airport runways.

No rain this month so far (7 full days), my current longest dry streak this year is 8 days in both January and March. Hoping these showers fail to drop anything measurable this morning, to set a new streak. Last July started out bone dry as well.
