August 2021 Observations and Discussions

70* and Cloudy. Plenty of scattered showers about this afternoon. Gloomy, cool start to August.

Temps probably stay at or just below normal this week, before maybe getting hotter toward the weekend/early next week.

Not directly weather-related, but this is the time of year when I always first start to notice that the days are getting shorter and the sun is setting earlier (even though that technically starts happening in early July, but at first it is subtle and not much to note). Sunset tonight at 8:14, and by the end of this month it will be at 7:34.

Morning dew on the lawn these last two mornings = summer fading. My dad's friend would always say, You know when summer is ending - dew on the grass!
Buddy in Franklin, NY temp yesterday morning 45*, guy I taught and coached and is a pro met lives in Saranac Lake had a low .......39* - made a fire in his wood burning stove to get the chill out of his home -ITS JULY 31ST for heaven sake!

This is a huge temp difference for UHI city. The night time temps are usually and have been warmer than normal and daytime highs are lower than normal. 1.5* is big IMO for coolness.

Central Park and LaGuardia Airport finished 1.5°F below normal for the month of July. #nywx

LOL, I was already shaving when that Martha Reeves and the Vandellas song was out.

Bet few people on this site can say they watched this on tv in 1956:

Cloudy, muggy.Showered last night.

Wow what a series of storms. Torrential rains, heavy winds and amazing lightening that was nonstop for about an hour. House lit up like a light bright board.

Saw on the news..the crazy weather you all had..we just had a lot of lightning. No rain..but the show was amazing..

About to get Hammered in Ft Lee on the 24th floor!

hit 94* Thursday, heat index of 109* unreal. I stayed in all day, but today I'm going down the shore for 2 weeks. Shlepping luggage and house supplies in the heat today is going to be brutal! Stay cool everyone!

Sat outside, in the direct sunlight, for three hours at a baseball game yesterday, during the hottest part of the day with a temp of 98* with a heat index well over 100*. That is the closest I think I've come to spontaneously combusting.

Things cool off peeeps Stating Sunday with highs in the mid 80 range and low 80's to maybe 80 all of next week with rain/tstorm possibilities.
Whew was it hot these last 3 days!!
