What is worse weather in the summer?

[Thunderdude]

I created this poll because I think to see what everybody has to say. I choose option 2 believe or not with droughts coming in 2nd along with back door cold fronts too. I can't stand having a cold stand having cold rainy days with East to Northeast winds and having Noreasters where temps for hovering near 60 F during the day time in the summertime. Noreasters really belong in the cold season which includes the late fall and of course winter. I think we had a few of them in the summer of 2000, 2009 and any others probably that I can't think of right now.

Temps over 95 degrees.

[blizzardof09]

My vote was 95 degrees 70 plus dewpoint, but what's worse is when there's no big storms to break the heat and it just stays hot then its just sticky and boring

[winterwarlock]

oh please what kind of life with rainy days with temps in the 60s..come on people

[Diego]

oh please what kind of life with rainy days with temps in the 60s..come on people

but at least you can sleep at night without ac.

[RutgersWx92]

Option 3, hands down. I don't like boring weather, and it would be even worse if the weather were boring AND still awful for outdoor summer activities. At least with extreme heat, nor'easters, and droughts, there's some excitement.

I love AC much better than keeping your windows open and letting the bugs in.

Have we ever been 55-60 in the summer?

I choose that, I couldn't imagine it being that cold. Could get sick easily after being used to the normal 80's & 90's.

It has happen actually remember on August 20, 2007 the high in NYC only reach 59 F and it was cool rainy raw day with E to NE flow and I think it was from a Mild Noreaster. Noreasters happen very rarely in the summertime. Usually mainly in later August. Remember in early June of 2009 there was strong Noreaster and temps stayed in the 50's.

[NickD2011]

This week we had both a 100 degree day and a backdoor cold front. NYC is 63 PHL is 81

Cold nor'easter in the summer? Disgusting, and akin to 70 degree warmth in January for me. Give me high heat/humidity over summer overcast rain any day.

Ditto for me, a tie between backdoor and cold noreaster - who needs em in the summer. Summer Aoril - Nov would be nice to me.

There are these amazing inventions these days called window screens. They prevent the bugs from coming in.

I love AC much better than keeping your windows open and letting the bugs in.

[Sn0waddict]

Back door coldfronts, I cringe every time I see it in a forecast.

Not really-- there are gaps which let them in. AC still trumps mother nature

I want the sun to go nova so we always have hot summers

Back-door cold fronts and nor'easters in summer are neck and neck for em in terms of weather I dislike. Give me a good Bermuda High anchored inland over the mid-Appalachians and I'm happy.

[NickD2011]

But we would have no snow in the winter.

[A-L-E-X]

Well, I want it to be cyclic so the sun gets brighter just in time for summer (for us) and gets dimmer just in time for our winter lol.

I wondering when all the noreasters that occur in the summer months? As long we don't get any soon and until the cold season begins I will be happy because they belong in the late fall and winter months.

[BrooklynSnow]

Droughts. I like variance in weather. Bring me 95 degrees one day, rainy and cool the next!!!

A noreaster in the summer may happen like once every decade lol. Noreaster season ends in May and resumes in October.

Tell that to June 2009.

[A-L-E-X]

Dont remember but that must have been our once in a decade lol. It's like a hurricane occurring in April or whatever.

[Thunderdude]

It also happen in July 23, 2009 I believe it was hybrid storm more but still was some kind of noreaster. I think there was another weaker hybrid storm in August at the end of month from remenants of a Tropical which I believe it was Danny. 2009 was probably the coolest summer I ever witness and I think that hellish summer of noreasters.

You can't include hybrids though because they're at least semi tropical-- so it's not a true cold core system.

That was a crappy summer....we had 10" of rain in both June and July. Both months were in the Top 10 coldest on record for Central Park, about 4F below average. Frost was observed in Nova Scotia in July, and Pennsylvania had its coldest July in over 110 years of records. That trough was associated with the development of a strong El Niño, however, so I don't expect the same this season clearly.

Oops I didn't know that one. To me they believe similar to a noreaster except it is of course a bit warmer though. Noreasters are usually cold.

Thank God and the warmest it got in June in Islip was only 81 F that year which was amazing. Nearly almost everyday highs never made out of the 60's in the first half of June in NYC and in Islip. The first 70 F or above for minimal didn't occur in NYC until late July. I wish that pattern happen in winter which where we would get all the snow storms and not get this hellish summer. It is also ruined the thunderstorm season too. I hope this summer doesn't go down like this with east winds and constantly being in the 60's for highs and a noreaster that occured on June 4, 2009.
