Looks like another cool night, down to 65

56.3 here last night.

Also looks like the models are backing off some on the hot temperatures next week.

57.3 my low temperature.

Newark and Central Park the same high temperature. They must have cut the trees in Central Park and took them over to Newark.

After a high of 81, down to 66 now

Nice day out there today with a temperature of 79 and a ESE breeze. e

Ended up with .09 inch of rain. Pleasant surprise for the grass

light rain here once again .01. 68.6 degrees

Gas and oil furnaces have an efficiency rating of about 80 to 90 per cent. Of course you have the pollutants that go along with it.

Didn't expect a shower but getting one.

Felt good today, hopefully the heat is subdued.

I believe one of the issues with wind and solar energy is that it is about 30 to 40 percent efficient at converting their energy to electricity. Oil and gas have much higher efficiency ratings. I'm sure we will continue to make progress in efficiency improvement for renewables as time goes by. In the mean time oil and gas will be number one if folks want to keep their standard of living the way it is. There are plenty of alternatives that I believe will some day take over and oil and gas will go by the way of the dinosaur. I have a hybrid pick up, great gas mileage and no worries about how far I have to travel. I think a good choice as we gradually go from oil to alternatives.

81 for a high today, now 74. Cooler than normal, felt good.

Yes a dud as far as snow goes but at least it was colder than normal (although not by much), rare in recent years.

Moon had an orange tint to it here tonight. Nothing like that.

We had a white Christmas last year.

59 degrees last night, first 50s here since June 16th

The weather may cause the fires to be more severe by having more dry conditions that adds fuel to the fire. Except for lightning, the fires are set by people or things like power lines. The vast majority of the fires would probably never exist if it wasn't for human intervention of some kind.

At my house June of this year was a degree cooler than last year and July a degree warmer than last year.

Not really because two years ago was the same as last year. However, there is still 5 months to go this year but so far so good.

I hope not but I would not be surprised if it does.

The streak continues at Central Park with every month this year being chillier than last year. Glad to see this seeing last year was record warmth.

raining again here, up to 1.89 on the day

Brisk NE wind has made it feel much better outside.
