Summer Thread - Drought, Heat...Tropics?

Featured Replies

I know Chester County PA is the only piece of land on Earth that hasn't warmed up but I know someone in Prague and they are seeing unprecedented heat this week and basically no one has air-conditioning because you never needed it.

Looks like they will break the country's warmest temperature ever recorded this week. And it's June, all previous records were from mid-July to August.

They have needed air conditioning for decades. Many European areas dont even allow it, not even those portable ones. Dont feel bad at all. Records are all broken at some time, except Cal Ripkens consecutive games, that will never be broken

Breaking a country wide record in June is not normal.

Prague all time record is only from 2019.

Country wide record is only from a few years before that.

Their weather records go back to the freakin 1700s.

You know what the odds are for all your all time records to be broken over and over again over the last 15 years when you have 250 years worth of records?

Obviously they need to get ACs, we're cooking the planet real good.

Yeah, our contribution is extremely small, as we actually did a lot to clean up.

The world says "Well those countries are industrializing".

I say "Too bad, they should have industrialized earlier".

We're about 10%.

Leftists act like it's 100%.

Which discredits climate change to the eyes of many because everything a leftist touches turns to shiit.

I don't trust any information coming from Europe and that includes weather obs...they are completely under woke ideology...

Not eastern Europe.

And the data has been out forever. There are many copies of the data.

For example I have Central Park's temperature data downloaded. They can't just "change it" without thousands of people noticing.

Euro even warmer

One thing is certain, Central Park won’t hit 100. Can’t wait for the complaining about the trees etc all over again. A tradition like no other.

Haha so true. Im shocked none of these wacky people have went there with a chainsaw to cut down those pesky trees that once covered the island.

Your area is covered in trees. Why don't you keep your thermometer in the shadows?

I mean, does it even make sense for the middle of Manhattan to be colder than an airport that's essentially in the water?

They put a solar shield over it dont they? Its like they want it in a shadow or something. Temps derived from tree rings should be discounted then since you know, they were shielded by their leaves

No, that's not really how it works at all. It faces north, so it's not in the direct sun, but they want the sun to hit it. A good weather station has as few trees around as possible.

I was joking. Not 1 person cares enough about central parks temps over the past 15+ years to do anything, so their temps mean absolutely nothing to me. If they dont care, I dont either. Its one location. There are tons more to use plus 1000s of personal stations to look at.

I stopped following Central Parks temps during the summer of 2006. Where I used to live in Queens, I set up my own thermometer, and I did pretty good with it and even where I live now I do the same thing and there was a guy who lives a couple of blocks from me. he has a official underground station at my temp correlates with his very well.

But people tend to forget to is that there is a general climate, and there are micro climates. Even where I go to in the park when I walk the dogs, the eastern side of it is warmer than the western side especially in an early morning. Many times I’ve walked to the western side of the park with is more thicker vegetation along the trail and it’s several degrees cooler and you can feel the difference.
