New York Today: Cold Wave (In Summer)

New York Today: Cold Wave
By ANDY NEWMAN
No sweat: with the pleasant temperatures, it’s a good day to enjoy a nap outside.
Updated, 12:04 p.m. |

Technically, there is no meteorological definition of a cold snap, but New York Today is hereby declaring one.

Monday, with a peak of 78 degrees, was the seventh straight day with a high temperature below normal.

Tuesday (82 degrees), Wednesday (82) and Thursday (83) are expected to continue the trend.

Tonight it’s supposed to hit 66 degrees. (Turn off the air-conditioner.)

We are on track for 10 days in a row – and 15 out of the last 16 – of abnormal coolness. The expected high this time of year is 84.

You will clearly not be shivering. Still, if we’re all going around feeling guilty about helping to cause global warming, we might as well take pride in this small accomplishment.

Congratulations, New York. Give yourself a mittened round of applause.

1. And to think the NYTimes used to be the paper of record. Totally stupid

I hope this is humor, but frankly, this is the sign the media are lowering their standard day after day,

11. Predictability of weather patterns is what makes sustainable agriculture possible

When we have radical swings of temp..unusual patterns of precipitation and recurring droughts, we lose..

2. Only 69 in the DC suburbs. Too rainy to take the top off the Jeep, though.

4. I would like to have frozen on Sunday

West of Cleveland, we had a high of 68 but that was briefly in the late afternoon. Much of the day was lower 60's

Normally here it would be upper 80's this time of year.
