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.

Wow they must've had some frost out there! They were colder than Monticello which only got down to 40! Chris, what did KMPO (Mount Pocono) get down to for a low?

Chris, what are the reasons we didn't have this at any point during the winter but somehow as soon as spring comes along we got this NAO signal? It seems to be a pattern that happens a lot - is a neg NAO more common in the spring than in the winter for some reason? I love this weather- nice and dry and sunny. I just dont like it when it rains every other day and you dont see the sun for a month. My ideal weather would be sunny 6 days out of every week and rain on the seventh day. Maybe one day when humankind can finally control the weather we'll be able to do that ourselves. And get rid of all the horrible flooding that happens when systems stall and the same pattern keeps repeating like they are having in the middle of the country.

the new moon will help lower your temps even more ;-)

Yes I have one of those now, but I still worry about damage and turn everything off regardless. I have large voltage fluctuations here (I see that on the UPS's LCD panel) and sometimes have brownouts that last a fraction of a second which happen when the wind gusts or a storm comes in. The UPS batteries are hard for me to replace so every few years I get a new one. I'm on my fourth one now lol.

thats why I turn all electronics off during storms. I've lost thousands of dollars of equipment because of thunderstorms.

most of Long Island gets their storms in September and October. the spring season is overrated for us on the south shore, when the ocean warms up and the land starts to cool down is when we have our best outbreaks.

I'm a bit suspicious of all the hot summer forecasts. Though warm and somewhat dry would be a nice change. We all know the super hot summer is coming in 2021- thats the 11 year pattern lol.

frost warnings in the Poconos!

we had two severe thunderstorm warnings! The storm at 6:30 was pretty good too, I was only disappointed that we didn't get to see a rainbow afterwards
