hmmm this is interesting- does this mean more tropical activity is in our future or will the change to a -AMO counter that?

 

Any drop in the AMO may get muted by all the warm water off the East Coast. So we could continue to see more tropical activity even if the official AMO index goes more neutral or even negative. Just look at what a high impact season we had last year with Florence and Michael and a more neutral AMO than 2017.

I was born in September 1966 and my mom used to tell me how unpleasant it was to be pregnant and living in an apartment building in Brooklyn with no AC that summer.

I remember coming home from upstate NY and some highways buckled in the heat on July 4th...we had no ac at home...I would put my face right next to a fan to dry off...

wow I wonder if JFK has summer records going back to 1955, their record is 11 95+ days in 2010.  NYC had that overgrown bush problem by then

Some of you who go back far enough may remember Paul Kocin throwing this photo up on a slide during a talk at one of the old EUSWx conferences.  A bunch of the SNE and MA folks might remember it too.  I was the startled guy in the audience who exclaimed "that's my mom".  That's because it is my mom (and my older cousin, long gone).   Turns out Paul and I were neighbors growing up.

We lost mom last week.  Seemed right to mention it here.

Sorry for your loss. I go back far enough to when the conference started but was never able to make it to one, nice story.

So sorry to hear that Ed :( It's amazing that you were neighbors with Kocin and you both grew up with a fascination with weather, it must be contagious ;-)

I think there are six years that had at least two separate 100 degree heat waves...

1944...

1949...

1953...

1954...

1955...

1966...

Wow that stretch from 1953-55 must have been something, makes 2010-13 pale by comparison!

Interesting that it hasn't happened since 1966, but the 11 year pattern of 1944, 1955, 1966 continues on with bake off summers......

Next one up is 2021 ;-)

My condolences Ed. Echoing the others, that's a great photo and story to tell.

I think I've seen this before although I only went to one conference. Was that 2/78? How old was she?

So sorry for your loss....

I woke up at 4:00 AM to check out a new art exhibit created by Sebastian Errazuriz. He created a 20-foot public artwork called “blu Marble”. It is visible 24/7 and features a custom made LED screen that projects Earth in real time from outer space. When discussing this exhibit, Sebastian said “Blu Marble is a reminder of our miraculously fragile existence. It places our very existence in perspective at a global level — as a tiny spec in space — beckoning us to live fully with an awareness and mindfulness of our limited time on this vulnerable and beautiful planet.
