ag3 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 What was the last month with above average precipitation? December will end nicely above average. I dont know about the amounts, but this past December was relentlessly rainy. It feels like it has drizzled or rained almost every day. Having a dog, was a nightmare this month. Constant mud and rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ag3 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 NYC 19 of 29 Days with rain. 22 with clouds. Brutal. And on some of those days where NYC didn't report rain, there was mist and fog on most days, so essentially the same as rain. Mud piles everywhere.

Having a dog, was a nightmare this month. Constant mud and rain. Do you have to walk the dog, or can you just let it out in the yard? We have a little guy who we just let out...so the weather doesn't affect us. Although last night he wanted to go out until he saw the sleet...he was terrified Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yard is a muddy mess with all this rain. I have a 4.5 month old 10 pound puppy and she is a muddy and wet mess everyday for the last 15 days. So much fun after walking her art 6:30am!!!! P.S. Puppy was eating the sleet pellets last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donsutherland1 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 FWIW, today is the 29th day on which the temperature reached 40° or higher in New York City this month. That breaks the December record of 28 days, which was set in 1984 and tied in 2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CIK62 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Gee, almost forgot about the GFSx which failed to update for a while. The final 3 days of the month including today's 34-46 will average +13, so almost no change in the current +13.8 for the month. http://www.nws.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/mos/getmex.pl?sta=KACY&sta=KEWR&sta=KNYC&sta=KJFK&sta=KLGA No below normal day showing up yet.

Big Jims Videos Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 If it hadn't been for the warmth, these gloomy days would have led to major bouts of depression. However, dealing with many people every day the attitude has been mostly positive and happy, folks amazingly still reeling from winters relentlessness of last February and breathing a sigh of relief so far. Of course not on these forums but I've hardly seen any complaints out in the field. Myself included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doncat Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 With yesterday's 0.89" of precip, have surpassed the 40" mark for the year with 40.51"...a little more for tonight so will finish with around an 8" deficit for the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewave Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 An incredible 51.2 and +13.5 for NYC with only two days to go in December. This will rank as one of the most extreme monthly warm departures to occur in the United States. In a similar class as March 2012 for beating the previous record month by a wide margin as happened in the Midwest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CIK62 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Through the 29th. of December 1649 + 1323 = 2872/58 = 51.2 Using today at 34-47 & Fri. 43-53 1749 + 1405 = 3148/62 = 50.8 as estimated final, or +13.6. Basically we got stuck near Nov. 07 and never advanced. http://www.nws.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/mos/getmex.pl?sta=KACY&sta=KEWR&sta=KNYC&sta=KJFK&sta=KLGA The GFSx just offers up one below normal day on the 5th. At any rate, by the start of business on the 7th, I reckon we'll be at +4. If we can keep this departure under +5.3 for the whole month, we can recover the "MIA Month of December" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxnut Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Let's say December finishes at 50.8F. That will be an astounding 6.7F warmer than the now second warmest December of 2001 at 44.1F. To put it in perspective, 50.8F would be tied for 9th warmest NOVEMBER in NYC since 1869. That spread of 6.7F over 2nd place is simply unprecedented in NYC weather history. For comparison, the greatest spread between 1st and 2nd warmest of any other month in NYC is 1.8F for January (all time warmest 43.2F Jan 1932 over 2nd place 41.4F 1990/1950) Two other months have a spread of 1.0F (April and September), and all the rest have spreads between 0.1 and 0.8F between the top 2 warmest values. So a spread of 6.7F between 1st and 2nd is simply beyond anything we've ever seen in 146 years of weather records. It's a statistical freak that will likely never be repeated in our lifetime, unless there's some other forces at play.. And I still can't get over the fact that the average low this December at NYC (~45.3F) will be over a full degree warmer than the all time warmest December MEAN (44.1F in 2001). I'm not sure there's ever been a month in history where something like that has ever happened in the US. Again, another stat to demonstrate how off the charts this December has been in NYC and much of eastern NA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using the airports,while OK,isn't 100% accurate I'm sure being there surrounded by asphalt and concrete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
