1953, 1966 and 1983 analogs on tap, let's see which one comes the closest to matching this historic summer !!!!

For winter, everyone should want a 1966 match.....

Maybe by this winter if we get a repeat of a 1966 summer AND the following winter Rob!!

I may not always need to know minute by minute temperature variations five miles east of JFK, but when I do, this is where I come.

we've lived through a bunch of summers that were hotter than 1966

I'm pretty such a boatload of summers since 2010 were are a lot worse in terms of intensity and duration than any older summers.

it doesn't matter if they were *hotter* in terms of average temperatures, I'm looking for extreme temperatures of 100+ and 1953 and 1966 have not been matched for those (1993 did come close.)

That can be easily disputed in terms of the numbers of people who died in those summers AND in terms of extreme heat (duration of heatwaves and number of 100 degree temperatures.)  Those are the only metrics I care about.  Since 2011 this is the first summer that has matched the intensity of those older summers (even though the length of heatwaves has now become much shorter.) 3-4 day heatwaves really do not stand up to heatwaves of 7 days or longer (which is why they are called super heatwaves.)

You clearly were not alive for summers like 1983 or 1993 or you would never make such a statement.

I read somewhere that .001% of the Earth's rise in temperature over the last 9 years is directly attributable to server electricity demands, due to the frequency of LibertyBell's posts. Half that is due solely to the giant image and poem in his footer that have been in place only the past year or so.

Just kidding, I honestly enjoy the posts (the ducks I'm a little tired of tho.)

It's not his posts, and thankfully he gets it when I call him on stuff and bust his chops. I just wish whatever browser he uses allowed use of the multi-quote option.

I consider you a friend, Rob so thank you :-) I'll try to use multiquote more often, it does work sometimes, but it limits me to two quotes per post from what I can tell.

I'm using the DuckDuckGo browser.

Changed it to a cooler blue theme, it's actually from April 2002 during the historic heatwave, you wouldn't think the skies would be this blue but they were, a function of it being April, despite the intense heat.
