It's going to hit 84 Degrees in the NY/NJ area today. WTF?
Seriously. :wtf:

Okay, I know we're dealing with climate change here, and freakish weather is going to be the norm, but on a microclimate basis, can anybody tell me what front pushed through here to raise the temps to near record breaking today, while the rest of the week is going to be normal and Spring-like?

:wtf:

I don't like Hot. Especially when I've got a day trip planned that involves a lot of walking around Albany, NY.

4. Maybe not in TX, but in NJ in April, absolutely.
On a personal note, I find anything over 80 Hot. x( I hate Hot.

I'm a Spring and Autumn kinda gal. :)

8. In West TX, we don't consider it hot until over 100
But it's a dry heat! I go to Yuma AZ every September, it regularly hits in the low 120's. Now thats hot!

11. "It's a dry heat." I heard that a lot from far-flung co-workers in AZ.
Then I visited. Hot is Hot, dry or not. :rofl:

3. Microclimatically speaking, the hot air spouted by Gonzales last Thursday finally reached NY/NJ.

6. Same situation here
in "Wild 'n Wonderful" WV - 82 degrees here today and temps due to go down the rest of the week to Spring temps. Here, we went straight from winter into early summer temps - trees blooming, plants blooming, bees buzzing. Very confusing for them - and me!

13. There's no such thing as spring around here any more...
it's either shitty, cold and rainy or hot(had the windows open last night but was still sweating). What I'd really like is a month of 72 degree days with little humidity but I'm afraid that I would have to move to San Diego to get that :(

14. 84 is not hot.
104 is hot.

If I had my druthers it would be 80-82 every day all summer long.

15. 104 is Brutal.
104 is Please Kill Me weather.

If I had my druthers, it would never get below 32 or above 75. :)
