We Could Talk About The Weather

Until October, the weather here will generally be:

Daytime highs are the high 70's to low 80's.
Night time lows in the low 60's.
A few clouds and sunshine during the day.
Usually, rainfall or a thunderstorm in the late afternoon to early evening.
Sometimes, rain in the middle of the night.

Sounds like here except 80s to 100s.

It's been very pleasant here, which is nice because I'm still working on the other side of the duplex six days a week in hopes of having it ready for rental by 1 July. Not sure I'm going to make that deadline but at least I'm seeing the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel.

Been hot and a little dry here lately, been driving topless in the Miata ( ;) ) for about a week.

That happens a LOT in Florida/Georgia with the love bugs. I used to work local delivery from West Palm to Miami driving a flatbed. Certain times of the year, you literally couldn't drive 3 miles without having to scrape off the bug bodies so you could use the wipers to clean the guts off. If you didn't scrape them off first, they would literally lift the wiper blades off the glass and create a horrible mess! I'm so glad I don't live down there anymore....lol

In NYC it was 80 at 5AM, in the city nearby, it was 75, we hit 67. The thermometer is showing 81 already and will probably top 100 again.

Can't wait for the storms. They usually put on quite a light show.

I know nothing of this thing either and suspect that it is naught but legend.

Wetter is better.

Wow, this is some crappy weather. It's hot and humid and uncomfortable as hell out there. This weather is not fit for human habitation. Thank God the days are getting shorter and we only have around 2.5 - 3 months of this crap to go through.

Pretty mundane and normal pattern here. Hot, humid with afternoon pop up showers. Nights in the 70s. Better than many Summers with nights in the 80s and 90s.

Our Canada day today was a good one.......breaking a lot of old temperature records around the province of British Columbia that stood around the low 30 degrees Celsius mark (88-91 degrees Fahrenheit for those Americans who never seem to know of any units of measurement besides imperial measures used outside the United States)..... and in other news...... :-D

Let's keep this thing handy.

The calm before the storm. They think the Arthur, the tropical storm will pass a bit out to sea. But, if it sneaks in behind the front, it will come inland and we'll get a double whammy. We could use some rain here. We haven't had any for over 2 weeks. An interesting thing I saw on a accuweather. The Atlantic Ocean off of Long Island is very hot. The hottest in the entire ocean, which is strange, but if this storm hits that, it could re-engergize it.

Yeah, really.

When was the last time it rained in New River, Rata? I think it was early April here.

ON EDIT: Last rain was a big, big 0.16" on April 26.

Substantial? Probably February. Other than that, we've seen some virga a few times, and gotten wind, dust, and a few sprinkles here and there that was just enough to FU the windows.

Perhaps as it passes the hot ocean waters around Long Island it will become a full category 5 hurricane turn inland and wipe out all; of NYC and the surrounding regions. Ad just think, if it becomes a huge storm like Sandy was or even bigger it may hit the entire state very hard, from the Long Island shores through upstate NY for the Canadian borders and West out to Buffalo and well beyond. Imagine everything wiped out for hundreds of miles.

Going on three! :lol:

Up here that's very unusual at this time of year. We usually get a storm every day or two with thermals coming off the Catskills and Gunks. That has been true since pre-colonial times. So... nearly 3 weeks may not be Southwestern drought weather, but it's long for us. Look at it like this, the last drought we had up here lasted a decade. Because of its effects on the region, particularly in the Eastern 2/3rds of New York State and Eastern Pennsylvania, it is one of the worst droughts in recorded history.

I think the Southwest gets droughts like this on a cyclical basis. The Arizona cliff dwellers were thought to have to abandoned their homes because of drought.

Although we are currently in a drought, it's normal for us to go from late May through October without any rain at all.

When I was a kid, we used to get thunderstorms almost daily this time of year, too. My mom used to let me go out and ride my bike in it, as long as I held a nine iron up in the air.

Don't be absurd—the nine iron hadn't been invented yet. They used a Niblick.

A Mashie Niblick? They were very advanced. Personally I'd use my woodie.

Hurricane Sandy's waves, driving rain and wind weren't the only things doing damage to the New York region last October: Researchers say that the hurricane was strong enough to register on seismometers—which are used to measure earthquake magnitudes—as far away as the West coast.
"We detected seismic waves created by the ocean's waves both hitting the East coast and smashing into each other," Keith Koper, director of the University of Utah's seismograph stations, said in a released statement. According to Koper, the so-called "microseisms"—small waves of seismic energy—were strong enough to register as about a magnitude 3 earthquake.


Koper said that Hurricane Sandy did not register as an "earthquake," but that its waves was powerful enough to shake the ground, much like an earthquake does. Koper and his colleague, Oner Sufri, presented preliminary findings of their research at the Seismological Society of America's annual meeting in Salt Lake City Thursday.

It's no joke. Imagine a massive Cat 5 hurricane wiping out not just an entire coastline but wiping everything out up to several hundred or even a thousand miles inland. Nothing spared. It would take decades to recover. Most places along the coast would have to be abandoned permanently. It would change the way we live in the entire country. The scary part is, it can happen, and climate change is making it likely it will become the new normal.

And it cant happen soon enough! Once/if that happens, all the problems like political fighting, gay bashing, religious hysteria and all the inane bullshit that people use to justify behaving badly goes away for a little while and the human race can once again act like like humans.

We need a wakeup call. 9/11 was a glimmer of one but not enough to get the job done. Haiti was the same as was Japan. Once again not enough to take attention away from the total bullshit that humanity's existence has become.

And its not my intention to derail the thread . Just posting my true opinion. Feel free to make another thread if anyone wants to debate. I probly wont participate cuz my opinions are that and not subject to change... Lol
