That storm came through with little warning, wasnt really a period of dark skies developing first, just rapidly from fair skies to thunderstorm. Multiple lightning strikes on the sand sent ppl abandoning their belongings. Unfortunately the teenager in that group of 6 died. Funny you say that because the same thing here yesterday. There was plenty of blue sky and sun when the lightning was flashing and the rain falling. There was one long ominous looking cloud and some darker clouds to the north. Almost reminded me what happens in Florida sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Newark will probably top the high of 98° yesterday. 13 Aug 12:51 pm 96 Yeah I think they sneak in at 100 They're also running a bit above surrounding stations..shocker. LDJ is only 92 and they're 5 miles down the road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it is fairly recent. There has been a lot of talk about the growth around where the station is located. I am just a little surprised that nobody commented on the picture. I guess it is pretty much what people expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee59 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Channel 7 just had the first African American that will be leading the USDA Forest Service in the United States and the big conversation was the fires out west. I was so glad to here him emphasize forest management as something that has to happen out there. He also said there have been some 4000 fires and most are quickly taken care of by the fire fighters but there are a few like the Dixie fire that get out of hand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoSki14 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 52 minutes ago, Cfa said: Earth is nowhere near overpopulated. The issue isn’t population, just take a look at which countries spew the most greenhouse gases per capita and why/how, and also which industries are primarily responsible. The bulk of greenhouse emissions in the US come from transportation. Cities almost universally have much lower carbon footprints (per capita) than areas outside of cities. This is true. In fact I read somewhere you could squeeze the entire human population into Texas alone. Everything you said about cities vs rural/suburbs is also true. The fact people travel hours everyday just to get to & from work is insane and very bad for the environment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, you don't want the government deciding on how to do that... Judging by current trends overpopulation is going to stop being a concern for anyone outside of Africa very soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won’t open. But the most recent summer photos in 2013 had the thermometer in the deep shade. Winter isn’t a good time for photos since the strongest cooling effect occurs after spring leaf out. The proximity of the vegetation to the thermometer violates the sitting rules for official temperature measurements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

binbisso Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 It looks like we will not hit excessive heat warning criteria today Mainly because dew points are 5ﾟ cooler than yesterday. Highest heat index I can find in our area is 101ﾟ Most places between 95 and 98. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted the picture because it is the most recent picture I have seen. (January 2020) I agree that it is a winter picture which is unfortunate because it is the summer foliage that is the problem.

Nothing happens when I clicked on the link that you provided. But you can see how the weather station is hidden under the trees when fully leafed out. No other official weather observing station has this much dense tree cover so close to the thermometer. Prior to the 1990s, the tree growth was much more modest around the site. So the warm season highs weren’t that much different from LGA and EWR. JFK has seen a similar rise in JJA temperatures as the other stations. You can see the big giveaway that the NYC ASOS went from the sun to deep shade. Notice how the average minimum JJA temperature rose in line with the other stations since 1951-1980. But the average high from 1951-1980 to 2011-2020 is virtually unchanged. JJA 1950-1981 to 2011-2020 temperature change NYC max….83.0…83.2….+0.2 min…..66.0…68.2….+2.2 EWR max…83.4…85.3…..+1.9 min….65.8….67.8…..+2.0 LGA max…82.0….84.4…..+2.4 min….66.8….69.9…..+3.1 JFK max….80.5….82.5…..+2.0 min…..65.4….67.7……+2.3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
