This Part 2 is getting bigger on each model run. The big change on the Euro is it lingers the rain well into monday too. The previous Euro run cleared it out for monday, and most other models clear it out for monday. Hopefully this 12z Euro run isn't a sign that monday will be bad too.

Models have been trending slower past 24hrs. Monday should still be the best day but we could be stuck in the 60s with more clouds rather than 70s and sunny.

Rtd208 Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 This has all the makings of a heavy rain event. Most areas should see at least 2.00" of rain with some areas exceeding 3.00" in the NYC metro. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the only thing that works. I tried growing lemon grass, I tired using one of those propane powered traps. None of it worked. It got so bad I would get 3-4 bites just walking the garbage to the curb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LibertyBell Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 9 hours ago, bluewave said: It’s too difficult to sustain dry conditions for an extended period in our new wetter climate. We just got upgraded to D0 dry conditions yesterday. So it didn’t take long for the heavy rains to come after that update. Hard to believe the last time NYC had water restrictions was back in 2001-2002. Sooner or later we'll get into an extended dry period like we did in the 60s. Our climate is all about extremes and I would expect that to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UV traps moistly catch harmless insects and mosquito predators, so they make your yard safer for mosquitoes. There are lots of traps that use CO2 as a lure for mosquitoes, these are somewhat useful, but don't expect miracles. Any BBQ emits way more CO2 than these traps, but I've never seen any mosquitoes self immolating on them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think it's CO2, I just read the manual, I just wasn't sure why CO2 attracts them and how do they detect it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been bit up pretty bad so far, but they're all from those tiny things. All of a sudden there's a pinch and some blood, forget about the itching. Even some anti-itch cream barely helps.

I just know from the beach house when it is still and humid...That’s when they are out in force. We just live in a different climate in terms of humidity then we did 30 years ago 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just live in a different climate in terms of humidity then we did 30 years ago We need to find some sort of artificial means to suck this excess humidity right out of the air. It's scientifically viable we just need to have the motivation to invent a large scale device that does this. If we can geoengineer Mars we should be able to geoengineer our own planet too. Waiting for nature to do its thing is just no longer an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
