Discussion: HEAT WAVE

June 17th, 2024

Heat Wave

The NWS has issued a Heat Advisory starting Tuesday for our area. Excessive heat should continue through at least Friday.

Today, warm, clear, and dry with a high in the upper 80s.

Tuesday through Friday, a building upper ridge will drive daytime temperatures into the low to mid 90⁰s each day. A southern wind will bring some humidity, and take the heat index ("feels like temperature") to the mid to upper 90⁰s. The same southern breeze will keep the nighttime lows in the upper 60⁰s or 70⁰s here in MAPSO.

Warm weather could continue through the weekend and into next week, although a cold front might bring some relief over the weekend (along with showers).

A heat wave is defined as heat index temperatures over 95⁰ for three or more days (this definition is location specific a heat wave in Texas is hotter than one in Maine. The use of the heat index takes humidity into account).

I expect that, in New Jersey, will will come close or break some June heat records this week. Please be mindful of the heat. Stay cool. Stay in the shade, and indoors during the midday heat. Check on the elderly and disabled, check on your neighbors. Drink plenty of fluids.

Because of the sea breeze, temperatures will be hotter in MAPSO than in the city, and likely hotter here than at the airport. Most apps report the airport temperature, so if your local thermometer says 97⁰ and the app says 92⁰, believe your thermometer not the app.

You laugh now. You won't laugh later.

I wasn’t laughing. There’s nothing funny about an advocate of preventive war’s efforts to incite alarm.

tl;dr -- if nothing else, you should be specific about which deal you believe Ukraine walked away from -- the one represented by the March 28 draft, of the one by the April 15 draft.

Ok, so now I know what you seem to be up to. You can't deny Johnson killed the peace deal so now you will go through it and say it was good he did that because it was not a good deal.  War was better.  

Good luck with that. 

By the way they tried to use that "Russia is a colonizer" line at Zelensky's "Peace Summit"  Ha!  One of the the guys on the Duran mentioned it, he had not heard it before, and said "Might be the biggest case of projection in history"  I think it was in his Clown world segment. 

Here on MOL we get  the latest propaganda even before the Duran!!!  We are so cool!

No. Your claim that Johnson killed the deal makes no sense if it was a deal Ukraine would never accept. Why are you so opposed to actually looking at the proposed deal? You seem to prefer theory over evidence.

The heat wave began yesterday in Maplewood:

The weather station in Memorial Park registered 92, the Prospect Street station on the east side of the street just south of Parker registered 90.

Discussion: The Rose Garden and White House happenings: Listening to voters’ concerns

mtierney said:

One of the many reasons — IMNSHO — that the Rose Garden has had staying power over the last  decade or so includes the reality that multiple topics, overlapping issues, diverse POVs, etc, arrive spontaneously, and it is a little like a civics class you might actually enjoy — But, naturally, being political junkies, at times our tempers and frustrations erupt and we are unkind to others who have a different take on what’s happening in our Rose Garden. 

But, I shall soldier on, ducking the anger, and smelling the roses!

for me, the thread has staying power because every day I'm curious to see what sort of outrageous lies you've posted.
