Once-in-a-millennium rainfall
Rainfall in West Point, New York, totaled more than 7.5 inches in six hours Sunday afternoon, according to preliminary data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. That’s a 1-in-1,000 year rainfall event for the area, according to a CNN analysis of NOAA’s historical rainfall frequency data.
A once-in-a-millennium rainfall event is one that is so intense, the chances of it happening in any given year is just 0.1%.

Numerous rivers across Vermont have been rising as a result of the heavy rainfall, with some rising more than they have since Hurricane Irene in 2011. The rainfall could push isolated storm totals towards 12 inches when combined with rainfall from the weekend, according to the weather service.
The Winooski River at Montpelier swelled above major flood stage Monday and continues to rise quickly. The river has risen nearly 14 feet since early Monday morning and is now expected to crest overnight at 22.7 feet.
“Downtown Montpelier will be inundated, and local roads will be covered by water. Route 2 and railroad tracks along the river will be covered with water,” the National Weather Service said, noting this flood stage would be equivalent to a “1 percent annual chance flood,” or 100-year flood.
Insane heat around the world right now but this is really crazy
The Persian Gulf International Airport weather station in southern Iran registered a heat index value — the apparent “feels like” temperature to the human body — of 152 degrees Fahrenheit (about 67 degrees Celsius) on Sunday.
The recorded temperature on Sunday around 12:30 p.m. local time was 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius).
Heat indexes of 160 degrees Fahrenheit are widely considered the upper threshold of what humans can endure for any more than a few hours. As heat index values climb to these thresholds, the human body feels strain and can lose its ability to cool itself down.
As of 10 a.m. ET Tuesday (5:30 p.m. local time), the recorded heat index was 130 degrees Fahrenheit (47 degrees Celsius). Earlier Tuesday, the heat index reached 146 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius).
If you have practical experience sticking your head in an oven when baking cookies, you need a new diet plan.I can't even imagine that! I was in Tucson when it was 111 F, and I drove my family to Mt. Lemon, where it was a cool 90 F. That 111 felt like sticking your head in an oven when you are baking cookies. It hurt to be in the sun. It felt like sunburn on exposed skin after 10 seconds. The UV must have been an eleven.
I heard Jim Gaffigan say on the radio this morning that "you can HEAR the sun!".
I wanted to make sure that they were done and not burned. Our old oven had hot and cold spots. I measured the temperature at 350 F at 9 locations with a thermocouple from work and found 9 different temperatures. When we bought a new oven, I became a very good baker using all of the same times and temperatures.If you have practical experience sticking your head in an oven when baking cookies, you need a new diet plan.

That's crazy since July was the hottest month recorded, and the trend looks quite concerning when you see this graph:you guys should just come north to Manitoba we are heading for an iceage.
According to Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), weather stations throughout the province recorded cooler-than-normal temperatures last month.
"Winnipeg recorded its 15th coldest July on record with 151 years of data," said Sara Hoffman, a meteorologist with ECCC. "That is a significant statistic, that is a significant departure from normal, especially for the city of Winnipeg."
