uncle W Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Has there ever been a spring before when the only 1.00"+ precip event in NYC occurred on Memorial Day? it came close last year...it would take hours of research to find that stat... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morris Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Basically it takes record blocking just to get close to normal but once it's gone the departures will soar. July and August are going to be crazy hot. No. The blocking had us well below normal. We got a nasty ridge the last week that was able to wipe that out.

JerseyWx Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Closer to normal has been the new cold pattern since the very cold JFM 2015 pattern changed. NYC monthly departures since 4/15: 4/15...+1.2 5/15....+6.1 6/15....-0.2 7/15....+2.3 8/15....+3.8 9/15....+6.5 10/15...+1.1 11/15...+5.1 12/15...+13.3 1/16.....+1.9 2/16.....+2.4 3/16.....+6.4 4/16....+0.3 5/16....-0.3 so far Yep, when you look at that list and see +1 to +4 or so, it almost appears that month was on the chilly side. Ever since last May, the heat has really been the story. Imagine if June 2015 wasn't BN? We'd have 14 months of AN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewave Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Yep, when you look at that list and see +1 to +4 or so, it almost appears that month was on the chilly side. Ever since last May, the heat has really been the story. Imagine if June 2015 wasn't BN? We'd have 14 months of AN. The 12 months ending this March were the warmest such period on record for us and the globe as a whole. http://24.237.90.116/rankings.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael05192016 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Don't look at June 2016... It is almost a lock for below normal month. The teleconnections are atrocious for the first half. I am throwing the towel on June and it is justified. Look at them and say that's warm. No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donsutherland1 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 NYC's streak of above normal months will go on. The turnaround in May was remarkable. On May 18, NYC was running 4.0° below normal for the month. On May 24, NYC was still averaging 3.1° below normal for the month. On May 26, NYC still had a monthly anomaly of 2.0° below normal. At present, just using today's 74°-71° split through 9 am, NYC has a +0.2° anomaly for May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbon copy of January 2016....we were cold-not -4 but still and the torch end of the month really turning things around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you add 1 to 2 degrees to each above the 1981-2010 averages it will be more realistic for today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dWave Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 This is why 1981-2010 averages are irrelevant to today's climate. when the 1981- 2010 avgs came out i noticed the warm season avgs decreased a little bit, while most other climate stations stayed about the same or increased. If they kept pace with the other locations the departures might be slightly less. CPK got overgrown in the 90s or 2000s or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle W Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 the normals are smoothed...The actual May monthly average for 1981-2010 is 62.8...May 2016 could end up 62.8 which to me is exactly normal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morris Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 +11 today so far. 85/71. Today adds +0.3 on the departure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewave Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Looks like the 6.53" at NYC will be good enough for the 5th driest spring on record. This is first top ten driest season for NYC going all the way back to DJF 01-02. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isotherm Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Needed even more achieve a normal May here. Finished with a -1.2 temperature departure, following April's -0.5. So, spring - since late March - has been cool overall. Recorded 7.70" of rain for meteorological spring - MAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recorded 7.70" of rain for meteorological spring - MAM.Finished with a -0.7 degree departure here for May after an exactly normal April...Had 4.66" of rain for month and 7.77" for spring which ties for 2nd lowest since 1981.

bluewave Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Interesting that both winter and spring had the most impressive warmth during the first month of each season by such an extreme degree. NYC monthly departures 12/15....+13.3 1/16.......+1.9 2/16.......+2.4 3/16......+6.4 4/16......+0.3 5/16......+0.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
