We get this way sometimes, sea breezes are far more fragile than rain/snow lines unless the wind is pretty strong. I had 90 degrees or over all four days- 90-93-90-93 The humidity was the worst today.

Excellent account. BTW we hit 90 here, I dont know why JFK lagged behind. There was a NW wind and temps definitely hit 90 on the south shore.

Was the derecho the bigger deal or the F2 tornado that hit close by? By the way I am still a bit confused of the F scale vs the EF scale, why did they not simply reassign the old F scale numbers and retain the name instead of categorizing older tornadoes with an obsolete scale that no longer exists? Like the way they changed the SS scale for hurricanes they could have changed the mph ranges for the F scale instead of having to create a whole new scale, and then the F scale could apply to both old and new tornadoes.

I want that too, if we had a few things fall into place we could have actually had that in 09-10 and 10-11. I read about a couple of 100" NYC/PHL winters from back in the early and mid 1800s in the Pennsylvania Weather Book.

by the way did you see the data showing how - nao are vastly more common in spring than winter? I wonder why that is.

and if things go according to form, we'll have a raging + NAO come winter.

the next time we see the sun it'll be in its red giant stage

thats good, less expensive electronic equipment damage for me! I cant wait for this wet pattern to end, I hate living in a tropical rain forest, my house is literally sweating

its even more amazing when that happens while its snowing!

I wonder how many there dont have air conditioning. Normal high is 66 there right now.

SFO reached 100 for the first time in any month outside of September!

Thanks! I also read that you should use them as soon as you buy them because they lose capacity if you dont!

I also believe that no sign of any 90 degree temps is a signal that we might be in for a cooler, but humid summer (based on soil moisture too.) 2010 is the record isn't it? That's part of the 11 year cycle- expect that to happen again in 2021 ;-)

Chris do you think the -nao is a response to that extreme ridge in the SE or vice versa? Also would a -nao for July and August actually mean a warm and dry summer? I saw a chart a few years ago that showed nao correlations to summer weather, and it had pos nao being linked to warm summers up to about south Jersey, from central Jersey through southern new england it showed a weak correlation between neg nao and warm summers and north of there the correlation was strong.

yuck lol. How many negative nao in December and February in that same time span Uncle?

dont we still have an el nino? It might mean a muted season

I bought the battery but dont know how to install it lol. It's not going to be a problem for awhile though I got this new one the same time I bought my new computer, which was last fall. It's the Cyberpower PFC1000VA AVR model.

Yes, it's amazing to see the recovery! I hope they are doing the same thing for the Jersey Shore and the Rockaways too!

the real trick will be being able to predict when the pattern will change and what the new stagnant pattern will be once the inevitable eventual change occurs ;-)

Plus stagnant patterns and everything just being stuck in place for long periods of time!

They have a plan to extend the land around Manhattan too. I forgot by how many yards, but it was announced a few weeks ago.

By the way, any ideas on if the UPS should be turned off when the devices connected to it are off? I want the battery to last as long as possible so I was thinking the UPS should be turned off when connected devices are all off.

This is an unusual pattern. I dont recall another year where there was such a long-lasting southeast ridge in the southeast and yet a big - NAO this late in spring/early summer. Usually you'd get one or the other not both. Maybe one is a response to the other? A strong SE ridge should mean warmer and drier weather for us, but the -NAO has been fighting it off. It's interesting that Philly and points south have been much warmer than us while New England has been considerably cooler.

Also no relief in the middle of the country where they are basically flooded out. It would be good to get us and the middle of the country into a drier pattern with rain going into the SE- they are the ones who need it, after their big heat wave they're almost in drought conditions down there.

Invest a few trillion in weather control and get out of that sh1t weather pattern. Today's weather is ideal, I can live with this kind of weather six days out of every week. The only evidence I can think that we wont go back to awful rainy weather is that as you get deeper into summer that kind of pattern becomes much less likely.
