Sunshine and warmth is way better than this crap.

Was September 1881 the month that NYC had its first and also latest 100+ degree temperature on record?

Ant would be quite prolific lol

it looks more like a noreaster to me, Larry

It's Karma if that happens, for the cruelty we do to other animals.

People will still say they can adapt, remember humans came from Africa, so if we evolve to that kind of climate all over the world, we'll just return to our roots

This feels like winter and wondering where the cut off will be lol. Either way, if this kind of system happens in the winter, there will be a lot of hair being pulled out watching ACY get 20 inches of snow while this area probably wouldn't even reach 6 inches.

I wish August into September had been warmer, but the real heat ended after July.

this is definitely going to be a noreaster and not a *coastal low* coastal low is the most PC term I can think of

I like this Larry, we have one for ENSO so we should also have one for AMO.

That might be starting to turn around now, Chuck.

Thanks RClab, and thanks for the nice birthday present too!!

Thanks Don, I'm glad the sunshine hung around for my birthday!!

Staten Island and parts of Long Island could get up to an inch of rain.

Don why isn't it being called a noreaster? Is a coastal low the more PC term now?

Thanks Chris, do the models also have warmth on Thursday now, so now it's low 80s on both Thursday and Friday rather than upper 80s on Friday?

Did 2014-2015 also have that?

Maybe in the era of climate change we need to redefine the AMO. The cycle is past due to switch and maybe there are other things that should define it besides SST? Especially with climate change, it's likely those waters will always be that warm (unless the ice at the poles melts even more quickly and that should cool down the SST.)

Definitely, plus either way we're cooked. With more clouds we have more insulation to retain heat at night with less clouds we have more sunlight to cook the earth during the day.

But with higher evaporation rates would high and mid level clouds become more common, Don?

That's a good point. Also, I wonder if there are practical ways of mining for water in the subsurface (for example below the moon's surface and under the martian surface.)

There's that big gap I remember between July 9 and August 3 and again between August 20 and September 9. August was crickets lol

At different stages of the planet's evolution did we have a different amount of water on the planet Don? If we are going to pursue space colonization, I don't really see any other way, but to bring water from Earth. There is not enough water anywhere else in our solar system (to my knowledge) to sustain a space colony. If it will help keep sea levels lower than what climate change will do, in a way we're killing two birds with one stone.

This is very weird, did the same hurricane return 20 years later Tony?? 1975: Marilyn struck the Virgin Islands as a Category 3 Hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 115 mph and an estimated minimum central pressure of 952 millibars or 28.11 inches of mercury. The strongest, most damaging part of the storm passed directly over the island of St. Thomas. The island of Culebra reported an unofficial wind gust of 125 mph. Storm surge was generally 6 to 7 feet with an isolated 11.7 storm surge in St. Croix. 80% of the homes and business on St. Thomas were destroyed and 10,000 people were left homeless. 30% of the homes on St. John were destroyed and 60% were left roofless. Marilyn caused 8 deaths and $1.5 billion dollars in damage. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History) 1995: Hurricane Marilyn strikes Virgin Islands. It hit the U.S. Virgin Islands as a strong category 2 storm with top winds of 115 mph. The strongest, most damaging part of the storm passed directly over St. Thomas Island. It caused 8 deaths and $1.5 billion in damages. (Ref. AccWeather Weather History)

nice low humidity, 1980s type weather is back
