Crazy weather

chrystaltree — Thu, 31 Oct 2024 17:33:49 GMT

It's 77 degrees in the south shore of MA. I don't remember it ever being so warm on Halloween. We considered 60ish to be warm. This weather is totally unpredictable. I'm happy for the kids who will be trick or treating or going to parties tonight. Just a few days ago, it was in the 40s and 30s at night. I'm not complaining but I'm anxious for boot weather to come.

I find this climate anomaly to be very scary. At the rate we're going how long until our planet is unlivable? Every year is hotter than the last. We're constantly setting new records. Nobody seems to be doing much about it but talk.

@Junebug54

We also need rain. We're in a drought. There are brush fires all over.

I'm in Pa and it's 80 and to be around 70 for trick or treat tonight. We also need rain badly. Since Sept. 1, we've only had a little over 1 inch.

@chrystaltree I heard about the big fire in Salem. The drought is causing allergies to act up at least for my husband.

New Jersey here...and it's 82 degrees outside today. We haven't had any rain the entire month, so really need some. We have 'red flag' warnings out for brush fires.

@chrystaltree It's above 80 here in SE Pennsylvania. No rain in October. Very dry. I do, however remember many Halloweens in the 80's, both as growing up and when my children were little. I also remember snow and sleet! Making the costumes for my children was always taking a chance. Back in the late 80's or early 90's, I made a green velvet long sleeved "princess" dress for my daughter. It took forever! The temp was 80 degrees that evening. Yikes!

It is 77 degrees at my home in RI. It's actually lovely, doesn't feel humid at all. All of us in the northeast seriously need some rain but I believe the weather pattern will change sooner rather than later as the cooler temps will be back on Saturday. Lots of storms in the west and midwest northern tier and eventually it comes this way.

This is not a record warmth Halloween for us, it is a bit unusual but not a record.

The drought conditions in much of New Jersey and parts of Connecticut are problematic.

Unusually dry in NYC, but fortunately the water supply is Upstate and is doing well as of today.

The situation on Long Island could become an issue if a good soaking rain doesn't occur soon.

Watching the news this am and they had quoted temps in the 80's this time a year in 1946 and 1950 .

We need rain, everything is dry as can be. I hope the weather changes very soon as I am not a fan of hot weather especially in the Fall!!! I live in an area where there are four seasons, it appears we are down to two now and that isn't a good sign in my opinion. Yes, crazy weather.

It hasn't rained here since Helene came barreling through us last month. There is a tree behind us leaning over my neighbors house and yard. The guy won't cut it down and told my neighbor pretty much to go take a hike. The only thing keeping it upright is that its' been so dry. We lost both our big trees and right now they are piled in our front yard. I worry about someone throwing a smoke out their window and catching fire. There are a lot down here that have roof damage and no tarps so rain would be nice but I am in no hurry. Augusta, Ga.

You are welcome to it. After the long and miserable summer here in Phoenix we are finally in the 70's with 40's for the lows and loving it.

@CalminHeart That was quite a drastic drop, wasn't it
