Typhoon Tip Posted July 30, 2019 Author Share Posted July 30, 2019 - instrumentation? what's at stake? We know that no instrument is exact - that's just quantum physical limitation ... That's one way to look at it. Yeah yeah.. you're talking about bigger errors than decimals (suspecting...) But why exactly does it matter in the present conversation? Frankly, if a given site is off, isn't it ( most likely ) off by a consistent amount? Just correct for that amount. I mean obviously it's better to have a given site calibrated to some acceptable standard for error, but, ...since we don't live in a perfect world - not sure why it matters if Boston is 97 when it's really 95.8 on a hot day ... or whatever. What is gained back by it not quite being as hot by what ultimately is an in-germane amount. It just seems a lot of energy (pun) is being applied to this as of late and it's crushingly obsessing It's warm It's warmer than normal It's probably in some small part GW attributed ... but mostly just the pattern we are in... Whittling down a site from 97.6 to 95.9 doesn't alter the essence and significance of these statements. Hm. I guess it depends on the application - I certainly wouldn't want my physician to be so cavalier with my pace-maker settings, huh haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand At 2.65" here, thanks to the mini-jack Sunday evening. Average for July is 3.92". Warmest here so far this year is 86° on the 20th, and I don't think today will beat it. However, we're well on our way to sunny/m.sunny day #15 this month. Previous best was 11 in 2010 and the average is closer to 5 (plus 20 days of partly cloudy, the default sky condition in our summers.)

Yes, distraction plays a role, however in the vast majority (99.9%) of cases, there was some kind of change in routine prior to the incident. I agree with you about smart phone addiction.
