But it's more of an anomalous cool pocket in an otherwise warm regime. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This whole week is a huge downer lol. I think people forget that for most of NYC's climate record, the average annual rainfall was around 40". Going by the full climate history, this isn't much of a drought. Exactly. The number of drought comments in the past few weeks/months would lend someone to believe that it's been one of the worst of all time! Yes it's been quite noticeable in some areas (certainly on the surface) but the reservoirs never really dropped to anything considered to be a "low" level (I think 90% of normal was a number I saw a month ago?). It's certainly not even remotely close to the West. Not saying we didn't need some rain but the raininess of the past few days through to Wednesday was not THAT badly needed! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rmine1 Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 11 minutes ago, bluewave said: The good thing about our climate is that we don’t have a well defined dry season like they do out West. So dry patterns usually resolve on their own. We haven’t had a water emergency in NYC since 2002. Meanwhile, the West has been experiencing more than a 1000 year megadrought over the last 10 to 20 years. Having nearly all months average around 4.00” gives us plenty of opportunities for precipitation here. Yeah we’re very fortunate in that regard. Puts a lot into perspective when we experience a lengthier than normal dry spell, versus out west Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a drought is a drought in an already dry location. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It came in the heart of summer so bad as far as vegetation soaking up the water...the same deficit in fall or winter would not be as extreme with dormant trees/grass 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rtd208 Posted October 3, 2022 Author Share Posted October 3, 2022 I think this is what most wanted. A drawn out beneficial rain event without all the flooding (at least so far.) Only exception is coastal flooding. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, but PLEASE the NW edge has to be moved 50 miles to the NW or some of us will be skunked. Have had .01" since 7am. Hopefully this band will pivot more to the NW than any other today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I remember when the reservoirs were down to around 40% back in the 80s-90s era so it's amusing that having them around 75% or so in the middle of the summer was considered extreme. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
