bluewave Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Amazing record WAR/SST couplet continues. This is what happens when we get a 588 dm ridge with 80 degree temperatures in February. The WAR just keeps reloading. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hasn’t felt like one of the warmest summers on record That's because June and July weren't that far from normal...Doing a quick preliminary check of my station records, this June-Aug will finish at around 7th warmest during past 40 years of record.

I think this is the most likely reason for indifference to daytime heat. There have been many nights where the heat/humidity has been stifling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not something you want to hear if you're hoping for a cold, snowy winter. Today feels okay and the lower late summer sun angle does make a difference (equivalent to April 12). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dWave Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 14 hours ago, mjr said: What I have noticed on many occasions is that the NYC temperature seems to hit a wall at about 1pm or so capping any further rise. This occurs during various synoptic scenarios and has nothing to do with the onset of a sea breeze. Here, for example, at noon, NYC is right in the thick of things. By 4 pm, however, NYC is only 92 (daily high) while almost every other station, except ISP and JFK with their sea breeze, are 3 or 4 degrees higher. Just look at the hourly readings and you will find that this happens on a majority of days. I think the sun gets lower behind the trees and in a general sense skyscrapers cast large shadows blocking some sun from reaching the ground. Esp when comparing to wide open expanse of an airport getting every available min of direct sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Following the brief -NAO/-AO start warming interval, the NAO swung back to record positive levels. Remarkable shift from record negative Jun 2009-Mar 2013.

CIK62 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 RWTT is unchanged for the next 90 days from the current arrangement of anomalies. SON is going to be +2 to +3 across the nation, except maybe the southeast, if something does not change. 90 will be possible till the astronomical end of summer, with bad luck. The first 90-degree day in Oct. in 77 years is more likely now than a cold winter. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIWeatherGuy29 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 The soils dried out in the yard. Last rain here was last Wednesday. Newly planted tree's are going to start becoming stressed if there's not a soaking rain soon with all this heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
