Those countries and THE PITS. India and other far east countries are just relegated to sub human conditions. Shame

This is why we should not enter agreements to comply with standards unless other countries do the same.

I don't care if "they're developing". They need to find ways to develop cleaner before we should be forced to enter agreements with them.

India and China are the biggest offenders. India is probably the worst. They're killing the ocean

They are the worst by far. That's why the liberals piss me off when they basically act like this is an American problem and that "right wingers" don't let them clean up the fossil fuel emissions.

USA is about 10% of global emissions. If USA disappeared overnight pratically nothing would have changed.

Right, and we have cleaned up A LOT in the last 50-80 years.

We never see cold departures that vast and that extreme. But we get warm ones like that several times a year.

.42" Was hoping for a little more.

I hope you get over your cold

Today will be our 7th consecutive below normal temperature day with our temperatures remaining below normal through this weekend before we warm to above normal by Tuesday. We then turn cooler again for the rest of the first week of May. Overall, the long-range models see a chillier than normal month with some models continuing the relative chill into June. We have some slight shower chances tonight with rain chances increasing toward the middle of next week.

Got to 30 degrees this morning, but already up to 60 now. Flowers look a bit stressed.

April finished as the 12th warmest (POR 133 years) first month of spring here in Chester County PA below are the Top 20 warm years. Our average of 55.0 was +2.8 degrees above our 1991-2020 climate normal of 52.2 degrees. January thru April 2026 is the 57th warmest first 4 months of a year

Below for the Philly burbs of Chester County PA are the all-time May climate records and below that the climate trends for the month. Based on the actual historical data (blue) our average May temperatures show a slight cooling trend since 1893 while the adjusted NCEI (red) temperatures indicate a very slight warming trendline.

Another below normal temperature day on tap today before we see a brief warm up with some valley locations touching 80 degrees by Tuesday before we turn much chillier again by the end of the week. Highs by Thursday through Saturday may struggle to escape the upper 50's. Rain chances increase with a cold front by Tuesday night.

May warm spells with at least three consecutive days 85 or higher for NYC...

Many lower spots reached the 30's this morning with the Warwick DEOS the chilliest at 30.9 degrees. We warm up nicely today to near normal highs around 70 today. We warm to close to 80 degrees tomorrow before we start another cooling trend. Shower chances also look to increase Wednesday into Thursday before we clear up on Friday. Below normal temperatures look likely from Thursday through the weekend.
