This summer was not typical of this area, sorry to say. Quick look at hours of dews above 70 and cloud cover for the summer will quickly show you this was not a “typical” summer. And as Bluewave pointed out 117 days of measurable precipitation and counting for #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup the percentage of cloud cover during daylight hours has been exceptionally high this year going all the way back to March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cfa Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 A whole lot wetter further west, it’s as if we experienced two different summers. Only September has felt noticeably cloudy on Long Island. Summer as a whole was very run of the mill, sunshine and precip-wise. Humidity was off the charts and temps were slightly above normal.

Thanks! Yeah looking at the cloud cover data it has been pretty impressive for awhile. Hopefully we don’t flip to dry and snowless for summer, but we will see. Even though I do not think I will be able to get out skiing this year (just welcomed my son into the world), I do love a nice bluebird winter day with great snow cover.

Yeah one thing I noticed this year is Long Island was much sunnier than just inland. I had to go to the field station a bunch further upstate and going from the city, I was amazed how different the days were. I would look at beach webcams and what not and it would be clear on the south shore and cloudy upstate. Just impressive dynamics really this summer with those dews.

That 117 number BW posted is way short of what it's been up here just 60 miles from midtown. I'd add another 50 to that easily but that's just anecdotal from looking at cams and such.

Gravity Wave Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 My favorite part of the summer was when the atmosphere spontaneously combusted with non-forecasted tropical thunderstorms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today was the 117th day this year with measurable precipitation at NYC through 9-25. The record WAR pattern and tropical moisture pushed NYC over the top. Most days with measurable precipitation in NYC 1-1 through 9-25 #1...117 days....2018 #2...113 days....1950 #3...110 days....1916 #4...109 days....2003...1996 That’s very impressive.

NycStormChaser Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 The HRRR is quite interesting for the next couple of hours. It develops some pretty intense thunderstorms. Sounding also support a quick spin up tornado in and around NYC. We have a better chance at severe weather today than we do tomorrow even though tomorrow is a slight by the SPC lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
