fake news writing about fake news lol...people have nothing else to do while sitting home hiding in the basement...

90/70 max/min today...

took this picture about a hour ago it looked like a partial floating rainbow

over the last ten Years July's average temperature in NYC is 78.8...1990-2019 average is 77.3...

negative in the summer...positive in the winter...lets hope that does not repeat...

91/70 max/min today...

what about the time when it was one huge continent?...I forget the name?...

those dam humans...wait...cockroaches are older than humans...what...

I don't remember where I got those numbers from but they are not in threadX or xmacis...I'll take them off the list until I can find where I got those numbers from...

the number of 75 degree dew point days coincide with the number of 80 degree minimum nights...last year NYC and Newark had a daily minimum over 80 on the 2oth and 21st....this year the only thing that will stop NYC from having a 80 degree minimum day is thunderstorms... NYC and Newark... min/max.......dates... 81/90......7/03/1876 81/90......7/19/1878 80/95......7/07/1883 80/94......7/25/1885 81/91......8/11/1891 82/98......8/09/1896 80/94......8/10/1896 81/96......8/11/1896 81/95......7/18/1900 80/95......6/30/1901 82/100....7/02/1901 80/96......7/18/1905 80/95......7/19/1905 80/92......8/11/1905 80/87......7/23/1906 80/94......8/06/1906 80/90......7/05/1908 81/95......7/06/1908 84/93......7/07/1908 81/93......8/05/1908 80/87......8/06/1908 82/94......8/13/1908 84/93......8/14/1908 82/100....7/31/1917 82/98......8/01/1917 80/96......8/06/1918 82/104....8/07/1918 81/94......7/20/1930 80/98......8/02/1933 81/100....6/26/1952 80/95......7/16/1952 80/101....7/22/1957 81/95......7/23/1978 82/102....7/21/1980 80/96......8/08/1980 80/95......8/09/1980 80/95......8/15/1985 80/94......8/12/1988 80/99......8/14/1988 81/97......8/15/1988 80/100....7/08/1993 80/102....7/10/1993 84/102....7/15/1995 82/102....7/05/1999 83/101....7/06/1999 82/103....8/09/2001 82/95......7/03/2002 81/96......7/04/2002 80/95......7/30/2002 80/98......8/13/2002 80/99......8/13/2005 83/97......8/02/2006 81/103....7/06/2010 80/100....7/07/2010 80/97......7/24/2010 84/104....7/22/2011 83/100....7/23/2011 82/94......7/20/2015 80/96......7/23/2016 81/96......8/13/2016 81/92......8/29/2018 82/95......7/20/2019 80/95......7/21/2019 .................................................................................

1.80" so far...back to rain and wind after a 1 hour break...

rain let up a lot but winds picked up...1.30" so far...

1" now...

I've been sitting in my mail truck the last half hour waiting for it to lighten up. Fortunately I got an early start and am still ahead of schedule. I'm still waiting for todays mail...

I would worry about flash flooding in the usual spots in northern NJ...

the storm is to close to land to intensify into a major storm...

usually a west nw wind gives us our hottest temperatures...

some tropical storms that hit us directly... tropical storm Brenda on July 30th 1960 caused 3-5" of rain and winds gusting to 35mph...that's a benchmark for a none hurricane hitting our area in July...Doria in Aug 1971 was a little stronger and wetter...July 1996 had one (the name escapes me) with a direct hit but not as strong as the last two I mentioned... edit... there was another none named storm in July 1972 that gave the area 3" of rain...

87 max... 71 min...84 now...

hit 90 here...

this is the only bird that can do this kind of damage...

this morning reminded me of Florida...the clouds and humidity gave me that feeling...

1/3 of an inch so far...

its here...

looks like a shelf cloud to my s sw...cloudy now..
