More from the “weather is not climate” department. While our economy cools, so do apparently our cities. Cincinnati has a similar problem, and does Traverse City, and the cool weather doesn’t “play in Peoria“.
Taken by themselves it doesn’t mean much, but it is interesting.

…UNUSUALLY COOL JULY FOR CENTRAL PARK…
FOR SOME PERSPECTIVE…HERE ARE THE TOP TEN COOLEST JULYS ON RECORD
SINCE 1869 FOR CENTRAL PARK IN NEW YORK CITY:
COOLEST
AVG. TEMP. YEAR
70.7 1888
71.9 1884
72.1 1914
72.3 2000/1871
72.4 1891
72.6 1895
72.8 1902/1869
72.9 1956
73.1 1890
73.2 2001
DUE TO THE UNUSUALLY COOL CONDITIONS THUS FAR IN JULY…HERE ARE
SOME INTERESTING FACTS TO NOTE…
WITH AN AVERAGE DAILY TEMPERATURE OF 71.6…CURRENTLY RUNNING 4.7
DEGREES BELOW NORMAL…THIS JULY IS ON TRACK FOR THE 2ND COOLEST
ON RECORD. BELOW AVERAGE TEMPERATURES HAVE OCCURRED ON 21 OUT OF
23 DAYS…WITH THE OTHER TWO DAYS BEING NORMAL. THERE HAVE BEEN
ZERO ABOVE NORMAL DAYS.
CENTRAL PARK HAS ONLY REACHED 85 DEGREES ONCE THIS MONTH…ON THE
17TH…AND HAS NOT YET REACHED 90 DEGREES THIS SUMMER. IF THIS
CONTINUES THROUGH THE END OF THE MONTH…IT WILL ONLY BE THE
SECOND TIME SINCE 1869 THAT 90 DEGREES WAS NOT REACHED IN JUNE OR
JULY. THE ONLY OTHER TIME THIS OCCURRED WAS 1996.

“While the AGW/CO2 hypothesis has not been completely overturned (there still remains some parts that have a basis in reality)”
Not for much longer.
Eastern Maine is having a similar very cool Summer. June was -3.5F off the “norm” and as of today, July has been running -5.1F with precip on 14 of 24 days. While it looks as though we will modify slightly for the final week, we are definitely in contention to beat out 2000’s -3.9 anomaly. This isn’t the “change” I was looking for.
Definitely cool here in the Upper Midwest/Lakes region. Departures running 3 to as much as 8 degrees below normal.

You obviously have not digested the part of my earlier post in which I point out that ignoring facts which disagree with your hypothesis is not science. Please read it again.
About the ice there is the plausible scenario that the wind is compacting it, but what do the latest ice animations look like, is the ice compacting like crazy or is it being blown out of the Arctic?
“Not for much longer.

I don’t ignore them, I evaluate them. When every ‘fact’ is supported by arrogance and no data they become suspect. As the warmist ‘facts’ become more and more transparent lies in the light of real world weather it becomes easier to pull apart each separate step of warmist logic. It is a tedious task and would be boring were it not for the billions of silly socialist taxes associated with it.
If you really were a scientist yourself you would capable of the critical thinking required to understand and dismiss the alarmist hypothesis.
Here’s a great opinion piece on the same topic in Toronto, Canada, where they have also been experiencing what may amount to the coldest July in more than 100 years. The opinion piece is by Rex Murphy and is in the Globe and Mail:
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/opinions/so-wheres-that-global-cooling-alert/article1230773/
What is of interest to this heat-hating weather-weenie is how often this summer computer-generated predictions of afternoon high temps, even from twelve hours out, have fallen significantly short at EWR (Newark Airport). Again today, the high of 88 predicted only this morning, will, unless there is a sudden jump, fall four degrees short. The reading at 1600 was 82F, down two degrees from 1500.
This may very well turn out to be the coolest summer in the eastern U.S. since 1992, the ‘Pinitubo summer’. Perhaps this will be known as the ‘Sarychev summer’.
Bought a new AC, haven’t used it once.
Keep on rockin’, negative AO!
@Douglas H. Wood
How refreshing, thank you,,, exactly why we’re all here, isn’t it; Well said~
Seventh straight months of below normals here in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. And July is shaping up the same. We haven’t hit 30C yet, and that is unusual.
“As of July 19th, the mean monthly temperature in Winnipeg was 15.8C, putting it on pace for one of the coolest July’s on record in the city since records began in 1872” http://robsobsblog.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default
Old men used to sit around the “cracker barrel,” and talk about the weather.
Now, Old Men, and Women, go to weather/climate blogs, and “talk about the weather.” I’m an “Old Man,” and I enjoy it.
However, if the government is going to spend a lot of money on it, it seems like someone should do a little research (other than promoting, or, on the other hand, ridiculing “Climate Models.”)
The Warmeners exalt the “accuracy” of their models of CO2 forcing. Deniers ridicule the models as, “not, possibly, being correct.
But, NO ONE does a simple experiment to ascertain the truth. It’s like both sides are afraid to know the truth. Back in the country we’d say, “One’s scared, and the other’s glad of it.”
This way the fame, and fortune flows to all participants.
First, you build two greenhouses . . . . .

So I assume you will have a dedicated post to the highest recorded lower atmospheric temperatures? Now that is interesting so what’s up with that. http://discover.itsc.uah.edu/amsutemps/execute.csh?amsutemps”
Her link shows Error! so you need to click on this link:
http://discover.itsc.uah.edu/amsutemps/
and then fill in a couple of details to arrive at the graph showing that average surface temperature 23 July was .85F higher than last year. This is only one day out of 365 but the graph does show that average global temperatures have been above last year since mid June and in fact most of the year. So is this heat released from the oceans making its way up or what? Should be lower than last year with a quiet sun?

I live in the northeast (New Jersey) and Just got my utility bill for the July billing period. The statistics shown on the bill indicate that the average temperature in the utility service area during the last two billing periods (June, July, 2009) were both 5 degrees F cooler than the comparable billing period in 2008. Five degrees seems like a lot, stretched over 60 days, to call it just weather variability – but maybe it just is. We haven’t seen 90 degrees F yet this summer, and that is quite unusual.
This young Professor from the University of Illinois got tired of hearing people speculate about the effects of elevated CO2 levels on Food Crops.
HE, actually, decided to do a little Science. Read about it here:

The Results on Corn, and Soybeans will “knock your socks off.” They were really, really Good.
I Love people that, actually, Do Science.
I just wish he’d thought to put some thermometers in those fields.
Being not too far from NYC, I have noted similar temperatures. In Central PA, we were having a string of nights in the 50’s, though in the past week or two we’ve been in the 60’s. Our days have been in the upper 70’s-lower 80’s. It’s made for nice sleeping weather, but it’s been disaster for many of the crops I grow. Tomatoes won’t ripen, corn isn’t sweet, and fungal diseases are rampant. It’s expected to finally (perhaps) warm up this coming week, which would be very good for business.

“Some good people have invested a lot of honest effort into the AGW/CO2 study over the past 20 years. Charlatans have seized a political advantage on the backs of these good people. ”
I like what you say, but I fear it may be idealistic.
The charlatans are better at the politics than the good guys, and they are intent on stopping the honest from being heard; we have an uphill task.
Scientists are just human. Most are honest and dedicated to the method; but some have agendas and ideologies, some can be bought, a few are malign.
This business has been about politics from the start:

Yup. That is interesting, at least to me. I’m bummed out, though. Your link doesn’t seem to work properly. I got to the site but got only bupkiss for information. WWW? (What Went Wrong?)
Folks,
right now I am in Northern Territory Gulf country, Borroloola, approx 16S, 132E, and I am shivering my butt off at 0630 hours (1/2 ahour before sunrise). This is supposed to be the near tropics, and it’s a stone throw away from the ocean, but it’s this cold at this time of the year?
So those of you feeling the cold in the northern hemisphere right now, take heart, we are also feeling down-under.
marek (09:59:12) asked:
“However, at what point does the weather become a climate?”
As was stated, normally about 30 years.
Or in the case of Climate Scientists, whever a new hottest record is set. Then, that one month/year/decade is representative of AGW (or climate change, whichever) and warns us of certain disaster.
New coolest records, well, that’s just weather…
I live 50 miles from Cincy…..been telling you guys it’s the coolest July in history here in Ky. No 90’s at all this July, that’s a record as well.
“During the 80’s and 90’s when warming was correlating well with temperature”
equates well with:
“During the 90’s and 00’s when Al Gore was correlating well with hypocrisy and political vanity”
While the Eastern US is experiencing a lack of summer, and the west currently has one, there is the gnawing lack of records being broken out here.
2 weeks of high pressure over the 4 corners area and we should be busting the chops of alltime highs. Summer was late here.
Forecast is for a big cooldown in about a week.
Very long range is for even more cooling and rains in Sept.
Hope the crops make it.
Kum Dollison (13:50:54) :
I do the best experiment money can buy: Talk to folks. All my relatives and inlaws scattered about the country. People have been talking about the weather since time immemorial. Only 2 stories come back: Either summer was late or never made it.
