It makes it harder to breathe

Not for me.  Interesting that there is such variability in human physiology.  I spend winters - and particularly this winter - with a very dry and stuffed up and sometimes burning nose.  Humidity clears that right up, and humidity plus heat equals my easiest breathing.  No way I could stand a desert climate except for visits. Bring on the rainforest! (But I think I am in the minority).

Humidity in the cold season is VERY different from humidity in the warm season.

Humidity with temperatures below freezing is great, I love that too.

However once you get to around 70 and higher high humidity makes mold spores multiply quickly and causes bad air quality issues and high levels of air pollution, especially since it traps car exhaust closer to the surface.

Rainforests are much better for biodiversity, the problem with that for us is that if the earth becomes more like that in the future, we're going to see a lot more microbial diseases and pandemics.  Mosquitoes that carry malaria, dengue fever and other such infections are just an example.  We'll also have a lot more worm infections, in nations that have tropical rain forests, the parasitic worm infection rate is as high as around 1 out of every 3 people (especially if they walk barefoot.)

I love tropical rain forests too-- but to visit only.  I've noticed I get very sick if I'm there more than 2 weeks.  The water isn't all that good either.

The peepers are already out again at night. A sure sign spring has arrived

The weather flipped a switch in the last week of February; besides that brief 2 day bout of cold, we've been above normal ever since.  That's probably why bulbs are sprouting and peepers are out.  I've even seen flying insects get busy outside.  The birds must be having a feast lol.

Things should really start to green up with next week's torch

We hit 80 back in March 2012 but that was a torch nationwide with no snowcover anywhere.     I'd say low 70's next week tops.  

We were close to 90 degrees back in March, 2012. It was right after St. Patrick’s Day. It was the earliest in the year I can ever remember having to turn my A/C on

It reminds me of March 1990, people were wearing bermuda shorts on spring break..... on Long Island! We were in the mid and upper 80s for three days and this was before the middle of the month, I think we hit 85, 86 and 88 on consecutive days.

Canceled my RadarScope subscription until we get weather, and with Long Island being the most boring part of the region outside of tropical events, it’ll be quite awhile.

2012 was the best spring+summer combination that I can recall, but this is the first March in a while that hasn’t sucked.

The 850 mb temperature forecast for next week would support 80°. But the warmest 850 mb temperatures peak at night. Plus we have clouds and onshore flow at the time of the peak. But a day before the 850s peak and front arrives could be a 70-75° day for the usual warm spots with enough sun.

Any chance of a downslope wind on any of those days to get JFK to heat up, Chris? Doesn't that usually happen on the day of the frontal passage?

I think 2010 was even better for spring+summer+fall.... hell make it best winter+spring+summer+fall+winter again lol

It's a nationwide torch right now. I wouldn't be surprised if it's the warmest first 12 days of March on record nationwide. There's been record warmth all over the place.

Let's hope we don't turn colder 2nd half like last year-we had a big tease and then nasty and cold for 3 weeks once we got to 3/15 or so.
