June 2025 discussion-obs: Summerlike

[Sundog]

Aha! 12z EURO has southerly winds on the coast for Monday, most of NYC has dropped into the 80s and some 70s by 8PM. 

But Tuesday might still look hot, I don't have it yet but winds go westerly overnight/very early Tuessday morning. 

[Sundog]

104 in NYC on Tuesday lol

[forkyfork]

global models are too broad with sea breezes

[Sundog]

Wednesday is significantly cooler compared to 0z. Now it has onshore flow and/or a northerly /NNE wind depending on where you are.

Considering the Euro didn't have one at all for several runs and for the duration of the heat, the way next week will play out has changed quite a bit over the last couple days of model runs. 

 

[Sundog]

Euro went from having like 5 days in a row over 100 (and solidly over 100) to now only having Tuesday above 100. 

[Sundog]

What's interesting about Tuesday is that even though it gets NYC to 104 degrees, by 8PM we are in the upper 80s with a northerly wind.

How's central NJ looking, that'll be the hot spot next week.

I would have posted maps but the member data limit is set to an absurdly low level.

For Tuesday it's 100 to 105 depending on what part you are, hottest as you go east approaching the GSP

sea breezes are no different from rain/snow lines

as a matter of fact the tracks are even similar, a summer with a lot of sea breezes is very likely to be followed by a winter with a lot of mixing and changeover along the coast, the physical processes are very similar.

It's no coincidence that some of our best snowfall winters came after summers that were dominated by a westerly flow.

e.g., 1933-34, 1944-45, 1955-56, 1966-67, 1977-78, 1993-94, 1995-96, 2002-03, 2010-11.

northerly wind is a nice dry hot wind here.

JFK has their hottest temperatures on northerly winds.

sea breeze lovers can be annoying lol, I hope we dont get one before it hits 100 here

One day is good enough for me, let's get JFK to at least 100!

40C is ideal

it hit 81 here at 2 pm partly sunny skies.

Depends on what kind of heat.

I hate the heat it's true. But I am not posting anything untrue. Despite hating the heat I also posted how the Euro had near 110F a couple days ago. I post the good and the bad (what's good and bad depending on the reader's perspective of course.)

[SACRUS]

 

83 here and partly sunny.

Seems like a similar evolution to last June's heatwave

GFS still cool for Sunday while the Euro roasts us with offshore flow. Sunday may be hotter than Monday for those of us right on the coast

We'll see if this starts to light up later this pm

84/70 here

you'd love dry heat, it's great for your skin and heart health and improves life expectancy

 

AI Overview

 

Some research suggests that regular use of dry heat, particularly in the form of sauna bathing, may be associated with an increased lifespan

. Studies have indicated that: 

• Sauna use is linked to reduced mortality risk: A long-term Finnish study tracking over 2,300 men over 20 years found that frequent sauna use (4-7 times weekly) correlated with a significantly lower risk of death from all causes and cardiovascular disease, compared to less frequent users.
• Improved cardiovascular health: Sauna use can enhance cardiovascular function by increasing heart rate, improving circulation, and mimicking some effects of moderate exercise, potentially lowering the risk of cardiovascular events like heart attacks and strokes.
• Other health benefits: Beyond longevity, sauna use may also contribute to better immune function, detoxification through sweating, cellular repair, reduced stress, and improved sleep.

In fact, a long-term, comprehensive study published in 2015 followed 2,315 Finnish men over 20 years and found that increased sauna use (4 to 7 times weekly) decreased both all-cause mortality and sudden cardiovascular death by a staggering 40% and 48% respectively compared to 1 time per week use.

Researchers from the University of Eastern Finland tracked 2,300 middle-aged men for an average of 20 years. They categorized the men into three groups according to how often they used a sauna each week. The men spent an average of 14 minutes per visit baking in 175° F heat. Over the course of the study, 49% of men who went to a sauna once a week died, compared with 38% of those who went two to three times a week and just 31% of those who went four to seven times a week. Frequent visits to a sauna were also associated with lower death rates from cardiovascular disease and stroke.

Sauna and heart health

Sitting in a sauna may be particularly good for your heart. The heat can raise your skin temperature and cause heavy sweating — just a short time in the sauna can produce a pint of sweat. As your body attempts to keep cool, your heart rate increases and may reach 100-150 beats per minute.

Sauna bathing (and an increased heart rate) causes your blood vessels to open, increases circulation and reduces stress levels — like the effects of low or moderate exercise. As a result, sitting in a sauna also benefits:

Blood pressure

Evidence over the past few decades shows that sauna bathing has an immediate positive effect on blood pressure. But for a bigger benefit, combine your sauna bathing with exercise. Recent research(Link is external) (Link opens in new window) finds that using the sauna for 15 minutes after a workout, three times a week, results in a more significant improvement in blood pressure than exercise alone.

Total cholesterol

High blood cholesterol — a waxy substance in your cells — is a major risk factor for heart disease. Lowering your total blood cholesterol by 10% can decrease your risk of heart disease by 30%. The good news is that sweating can raise your good cholesterol levels (HDL) to improve your total cholesterol.

Exercise will certainly help you work up a sweat, and sauna bathing on its own can also reduce total cholesterol levels. But combining the two — sitting in a sauna after your workout — has a more significant effect on total cholesterol.

Cardiovascular respiratory fitness level

Cardiovascular respiratory fitness (CRF) is your body’s ability to deliver oxygen to your muscles and organs during physical activity. A higher CRF level can decrease your risk of heart disease and death. 

Regular exercise is one way to improve CRF levels. But whether your CRF levels are high or low, research shows that sauna bathing following exercise is beneficial. If your CRF level is low, exercise followed by 15 minutes in the sauna improves CRF more than exercise alone. If your CRF level is high, adding sauna bathing to your workout routine can reduce your risk of heart-related death, including sudden cardiac death.

Risk of death from heart-related disease

Heart disease causes one out of every five deaths in the United States. And sudden cardiac death (SCD) often has no warning signs. Research shows that sauna bathing may be able to help lower your risk of heart disease. One study(Link is external) (Link opens in new window) followed 2,300 sauna bathers for 20 years and found that the participants who visited the sauna more frequently (four to seven times a week) had lower death rates from heart disease and stroke.
