bluewave Posted yesterday at 11:59 AM Share Posted yesterday at 11:59 AM Typical July brown lawn special coming up for Long Island as the WAR is just a little too strong. So the heaviest convection is focused more in the interior. It doesn’t take much with the heat this time of year for the drought monitor to introduce D0 conditions. Happens quite a bit on Long Island this time of year. But the heavy rains usually end up being more impressive from later in the summer into the fall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have gotten rain recently, it doesn't mean we have recovered from a rainfall deficit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EWR had 4 in a row, NYC had 3 in a row and JFK had 2 in a row in that month? I also agree about the monsoonal type pattern, it seems like our summers are becoming cloudier and we are getting many more in the way of stalled fronts in our area in July? This never used to happen before, has the Bermuda Ridge become too weak to hold fronts well back to our west as it used to do in summers like 1993, 1999 and 2010? Is there a way to specifically track amount of cloudiness for the month of July through the years and decades? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This summer we had that one interval back in late June when westerly flow made it down to the coast. But the onshore flow quickly returned.

History) Shortly before 2 a.m. a house in Danielsville, PA, was hit twice by lightning. The chimney and roof were damaged and debris from the house damaged 3 cars. (Weather Guide Calendar with Phenomenal Weather Events 2011 Accord Pub. 2010, USA) so much wild stuff in this list 1993: The Great Midwest Flood continued as flood waters came close the Des Moines, IA water treatment plant, leaving the city's 250,000 residents without water for 12 days. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History) was this great flood and our record heat both caused by the same thing in 1993? 1980: Hot weather prevailed from the southeast to the Plains. Daily records included: Wichita, KS: 111°, Columbia, MO: 108°, Dodge City, KS: 108°, Topeka, KS: 107°, DFW Airport, TX: 107°, Macon, GA: 104°, Savannah, GA: 103°, Memphis, TN: 103°, Houston, TX: 103°, Columbus, GA: 102°, Paducah, KY: 102°, Atlanta, GA: 101°, Chattanooga, TN: 100 °F. (Ref. Additional Temperatures Listed On This Link) persistent heat in 1980 continued 1912: Boston, MA recorded the end of the longest heat wave ever. It was 9 consecutive days with 90 °F or more. (Ref. NOAA Boston Weather Events) 1936: From July 5-17, temperatures exceeding 111 degrees in Manitoba and Ontario claimed 1,180 lives (mostly the elderly and infants) during the most prolonged, deadliest heat wave on record. Four hundred of these deaths were caused by people who drowned seeking refuge from the heat. In fact, the heat was so intense that steel rail lines and bridge girders twisted, sidewalks buckled, crops wilted and fruit baked on trees. Some record temperatures include; 112 degrees at St. Albans and Emerson, Manitoba, 111 at Brandon, Manitoba, 108 at Atikokan, Ontario, and Winnipeg, Manitoba. 1936: Unbelievable heat occurred across the Mid Atlantic states and the deadliest heat wave ever in parts of Canada. Ontario, Canada recorded its hottest temperature ever as the town of Atikokan hit 108°. On the same day in Manitoba, Winnipeg also reached 108°, the highest recorded temperature there since records began in the 1870's. St. Albans set Manitoba’s all-time record as they soared to 112°. In the United States, the all-time record high was set at Rochester, MN with 108°. Other daily record highs were set at Lincoln, NE: 109°; Peoria, IL: 108°; Rockford, IL: 108°, Grand Forks, ND: 108°, Decatur, IL: 107°, Moline, IL: 107°, Dubuque, IA: 107°, Minneapolis, MN: 106°, St. Cloud, MN: 106°, Fargo, ND: 106°, Springfield, IL: 105°, Champaign, IL: 105°, (Ref. Additional Temperatures Listed On This Link) wtf was going on in 1912 and 1936? Wasn't 1912 the year Fenway Park opened and the year the Titanic sank? and look at that heat in 1936, you'd think with all that dust in the air from the Dust Bowl, the heat would actually be less.

Don’t know if we can repeat 2010 east of NYC since the summer circulation patterns have shifted so much since then. Prior to 15-16 we would often get ridges over the Great Lakes and westerly flow summers. Since then we get a ridge over New England and the Rockies. This leaves a trough closer to the Great Lakes and more onshore flow here. So getting 30 days reaching 90° at JFK will be a challenge with onshore flow.

Is this shift in summer circulation patterns cyclical? I can't see why it would be connected to climate change in any way. Rainfall yes, but not circulation patterns.

That money is supposed to go in to R&D, system upgrades etc. Instead they just bank it for stockbuy backs, dividends in the future. It's the same excuse Big Pharma uses for higher drug prices, none of that goes into R&D it mostly goes into marketing and corporate / shareholder pay.

Excellent work Tony, it's interesting how JFK's hottest August temperatures happened at the start of their POR and the only time they had two 100+ in a row in August, in 1983 they also had 2 100+ temperatures, but one was in July and the other one in August. In September 1983 came the closest, which was our hottest September on record (like how 1991 one was for May.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
