70 here

Like to update on our longer term drought occasionally... Since Sept of 2024, my station is running a 25" deficit. Only about 6 of those 20 months have had normal or maybe slightly above normal precip with no months reaching the 5" mark. Reservoir levels, river levels etc appear to be around normal. Just find it interesting that something seemed to fundamentally change after 8/24. Often used to have water in the woods around the house but haven't seen that for quite awhile.

Wish we got this in March

Then it would have produced. Now it’s just a waste. Raw east winds and misery mist. No thanks.

With how warm it has been since early March, I'm surprised there were still spots that hadn't reached 80 yet this year. My first 80 was March 10.

While a Greenland block means cold May, I highly doubt a -2 to -4 monthly temperature is going to verify. Keep in mind, May 2023 came in at -1.5 and June 2023 at -2.6 at PHL, compared to 1981-2020 normals. We haven't seen that cold at that time of the season since 1985. If this verifies, it would be the coldest at this time of the season in over 4 decades. Probably not going to happen.

Another thing to consider is the dry ground almost coast to coast.   May add some warmth to those numbers unless it turns wet.

On the south shore of LI warmest its been here is 77.8°F which I hit earlier today around 11am. Sea breeze is capping my temp from going any warmer. Been hovering around 76-77 for the past hour or so

Going to the park with my wife and baby. Its nice in the shade.

Im already sweating lol

Yeah likely an abrose jet later which will kill our storm chances. I expect a nice broken line with isolated severe over nj and the Hudson valley to hit a brick wall

So far 12mph S wind at JFK and upper 60s even at the beaches. These tend to kick in later in the afternoon so we’ll see how windy it gets. 83 here-full on summer.

It would be nice to have some 70s. to early for this shit. we have a whole summer and fall of this coming

 

There are also a lot of smells associated with the blooming of plants. That smells okay in the 50s and 60s, and smells terrible today. this wooded trail has a smell that is a mix of crap/cum/rotting and perfume

[MJO812]

Well its that time of the year folks

My apologies if this belongs in Memory Lane.  Both April 3rd and 4th of 1991 when I started my first route reached 87° without any leaves on the trees to cool off in the shade.

As much as I dislike the heat, its hard for me to consider this swamp ass weather with the dews relatively low when compared to what has become normal around here in the summer.

Atlantic City reached 88° so far. That breaks the daily record of 86° from 1945.

ACY has always been a little misleading to me. The weather stations in town are around 70. The airport is something like 10-12 miles inland. DIX radar shows the seabreeze inching its way inland but at times being pinned to the barrier islands.
