Good to see that there were no serious injuries to the 5 people struck by lightning in Long Beach the other day.

The great drone video below captured the strike and Newsday took a still from it.

Once in a lifetime.....

Here's the lightning bolt video from the finals of #NYSurfWeek..... and just to add a note here, right after that bolt, the water was cleared and everyone was advised and helped off the beach.......

Wow. I had not seen this. Article says near national Blvd but I looking at the buildings in the background the strike was at Laurelton Blvd. Just lucky nobody was killed.

Yeah, the strike looks like it was near Laurelton. One of the people struck was interviewed on the news last night

and the doctors told her she was very lucky.

Why are these people still in the water and on the beach...its obvious by the pictures of a nearby storm.

with all the vegetation in Central the past few years the 2010's could end up with the most 90 degree or higher days for the ten year period...2016 has four 90+ says as of yesterday and I bet we get another 16 or more to reach 20+ 90 degree days again for the year...15 days 90 or higher is the long term average...the 2000's only averaged 12.3 for the ten year period...the 2010's are making up for it averaging 20.2 so far...the 2010's already surpassed the 2000's 90 degree days and we have the rest of this year and three more to add to the total...

One of the mets on channel 4 actually went into some detail about Central Park running cooler than surrounding stations this year. Showed how LGA, EWR etc have much more 90 degree days and the location of the sensors are likely holding temps down a few degrees.

NYC would have many more 90 degree days if the sensor was in the same location as before they changed it.

 

Change in local 90 degree days since 1984.

EWR 

84-93....300

94-03....253

04-13....276

84-93 to 04-13 change....-8.0%

 

NYC

84-93...199

94-03...160

04-13...155

84-93 to 04-13 change...-22.2%

 

LGA

84-93...167

94-03...186

04-13...225

84-93 to 04-13 change...+25.8%

 

JFK

84-93...102

94-03...102

Bluewave, is there any data on dewpoint trends over the last 30+ years? I'm curious if the global warming trends have increased dewpoints along with temps. 

My gut tells me they've gone up, but I'm wondering if there's data to back that up.

that's what I think is adding to the high minimums lately...we can use a day with low dews and min temps in the 50's like we used to see from time to time in the Summer...

Actually there is. CC compiled dewpoint data for numerous stations since 1980. Northeast sites have seen a 2 degree or more increase in summer dewpoints since 1980.

Wow great site and info. Thanks! It seems my gut feeling has been substantiated with real data. It makes sense that they would go up in a warming world.

It matches the summer average temperature which has increased by about 2 degrees since 1980.

A Connecticut meteorologist who was arrested last week on child pornography charges graduated from Kean University, according to a university spokeswoman. 

WTNH-TV Meteorologist Justin Goldstein was arrested Wednesday by Connecticut State Police on charges of possession of child pornography and promoting a minor in an obscene performance, the television station he works for reported.
