Not only has it been wet here but Tuscon Arizona had its wettest July ever with over 7 inches of rain. Really helping in putting a dent in the drought.
-
55 degree low here, not bad for the hottest time of the year.

Some good news out of the southwest. PHOENIX – A series of powerful storms that brought days of heavy rain to most of Arizona has made an impact on the drought. According to the U.S. Drought Monitor, 52% of the state is now in extreme or exceptional drought, down dramatically from 84% last week. Now, just 8.6% of the state is in the deepest drought category called exceptional. That’s down from 36% last week. University of Arizona climate scientist Mike Crimmins says Arizona just experienced “epic rainfall” and there couldn’t have been a better type of rainfall event in the summer to improve short-term drought conditions.

Looks to me like Long Island will miss out on this event. Just some rain.
-
Mostly light rain here, .15 so far. Getting very windy.
-
Lots of clouds here and a decent SSE breeze, not exactly severe weather criteria.
-
Nice day today, high temperature 81 degrees.
-
89 here today, still holding at 10 over 90 for the year.
-
Newark sure stands out when it comes to this seasons 90 plus degree days.
-
88 my high today. Looks like the remainder of the month will be average to a little below average. Tomorrow will probably be the only above average day.
-
August almost here, to me, the real start of hurricane season.
-
Picked up 1.12 inches of rain last night from the thunderstorm.
-
Lots of thunder and lightning here for the past 1/2 hour or more. Very heavy rain, over a 1/2 inch in a short period of time.
-
A 1/3 of an inch of rain Sunday here and if it holds together that storm to my north could bring more. Lots of lightning to my north
-
I have had 10 days of 90 or higher.
-
Impressive, 43 years.

The pictures I have seen show a fenced in area with trees nearby. I don't see foliage right on top of it. Some pictures show the instruments in sun and others in shade. I don't know how updated the pictures are.

Is there a picture somewhere of the Central Park weather station location. A current picture.

I think when climate becomes real extreme, far more extreme than global warming, the earth has ways to correct it.
-
Then the folks in our area won't have to retire in Florida.

Personally I don't think humans have to fear climate change. Don't get me wrong we should do what we can to prevent it, but it is gradual and we can change with it. I think what we should be most looking out for is a meteor. Like the dinosaurs it can end us almost immediately. By the way, I think if the earth could talk, when people say we have to safe the earth, the earth would laugh and say no way you can destroy me. We can destroy ourselves but not the earth.

Actually that is normal. At Amundson-Scott location the average January temperature (summer) in -16F and July is -75F. The average yearly is -54F. No wonder something like 90% of the worlds ice is in Antarctica.
-
Storm moving thru here, plenty of thunder and lightning.
-
For those who really want to cool off, current temperature at Amundson-Scott station in Antarctica is -75 F. and wind chill -114F.
