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.

78 degrees here, dew point 70, humidity 76%, feels better than early this morning.
-
I was just down in North Carolina and it was some 10-15 degrees warmer than on Long Island today. It feels hotter and more uncomfortable here than there.
-
Hit 90 degrees here today, 8th time this season I have hit 90.
-
Nice to see the southwest United States not having heat advisories. Phoenix expecting temperatures around 102-104 for the next number of days. Their average high is 104.
-
Was at Tobay beach tonight, just east of Jones Beach. Most everyone had on sweat shirts and light jackets. Definitely did not feel like July.
-
For whatever reason, Newark is the hottest major recording station in our area in the summer. I believe the local environment of concrete, maybe all the chemical and industrial facilities nearby, the wide open space of a major airport and with many large planes and that sun beating down on all the tarmac, probably has a play in those temperature readings. I don't think the readings are wrong, just a product of the environment, just like Central Park is a product of that environment.

84.5 was my high but very humid.

May have been some kind of microburst that went through the southeast part of levittown. That is where this house is I own and not only is this big tree down but there's wires down in nearby areas too, from what I am told. -

Well I guess it did over achieve. Just found out the big tree on a small house I own in Levittown, came down. -

Ended up with 3.4 inches of rain from Elsa and 4.1 inches including yesterday. Peak wind gust 35mph. I would say a bit of an over achiever from what I was expecting.
