Thread 16704496

Why is it just this random middle patch that has highest temperatures? Why is Chicago so hot when it's so far up north? Why isn't all distributed in a normalized pattern that gradually gets hotter as you approach the equator?

You said the magic word anon! Weather is a chaotic system. Chaotic systems are what we use to "simulate randomness" with computers when we require randomness.
You say it is random because weather is inherently random by nature. Congrats on randomly speaking the truth.

>>16704505
>its chaos bro
not an explanation

>>16704505
Random and chaotic are antonyms. Weather is chaotic, not random.

>>16704496 (OP)
Because the planet is not a smooth sphere

>>16704527
It's the same difference though. All "random" is just chaotic.

>>16704496 (OP)
Warm winds come up south from the gulf of Mexico and drive cool winds down from Canada. Where the two fronts meet you get rainstorms formed from the moisture brought up.

temperature decreases with altitude and that's a low-lying region with warm winds from the gulf of mexico
still, i think this map is more accurate and closer to what you say

>Why is Chicago so hot when it's so far up north?
Also the great plains provide essentially 0 natural barrier for gulf of *America heatwaves, so it can heat up areas well into Canada. It works the same way in the winter, so Louisiana can experience snow from arctic winds, and they can blow coldfronts as far south as Mexico.

Completely unrelated terms. "Positive feedback loop" has no direct relation to "random."

Let's reframe your question so you can google your way to getting it.
>What is a Hadley Cell and why do they tend to align with geographic features?

>>16704496 (OP)
The fuck is this map?
>70s are yellow and orange
>80s are red
>90s are black

No one would represent 80 degrees with red if they weren't trying to push a narrative. I assume when it hits 100 they draw flames on the map with a picture of an oil executive stabbing a polar bear and laughing maniacally.

>Why is Chicago so hot when it's so far up north?
The actual numbers (as opposed to the colors) say it's about 2 degrees hotter than the surrounding area, which is just because it's a city and packed with a trillion random things that create heat.

>>16704555
I think this is the exact same coloring the NWS has always used for wet bulb temperatures?

>boundary between yellow and red is 85

Summer high pressure systems flanked to the west draw hot humid air from the Gulf Of Mexico blowing directly northward and this air cools a bit when it gets to the Atlantic ocean because it is cooler and thus gives a moderation effect for the East Coast. As for the Southwest their summer heat usually peaks in June for the interior and experiences a dry heat. Weather systems usually move west to east in the continental US so I wouldn't be suprised if the Southwest was just as hot before the warm air moved eastward to be relaced by cool air from the Pacific.

>>16704496 (OP)
The biggest effect on climate is if you live near a large body of water. Hawaii and Alaska are the only two states never to have reached 100 degrees Fahrenheit

Why are different places posting completely different maps?

>>16704559
Both OP's map and >>16704704 are from NOAA but they use different color schemes. Wet bulb is a newer metric but why did they decide to use a scary looking color scheme instead of the existing temperature color scale? There needs to be an actual reason for having made the change. What is that reason?

>>16704704
>>16704726
No you faggots, understand the difference between MAXIMUM temperatures and WET BULB temperatures. OP's map is of wet bulb temps.

>>16704726
Because wet bulb temperatures are a much better measure of how deadly a temperature is.

>>16704549
>Completely unrelated terms. "Positive feedback loop" has no direct relation to "random."
chaotic systems are definitionally deterministic. They are antonyms. Something random cannot be chaotic and vice versa.

>>16704704
I have a hard time believing that the central eastern seaboard is hotter than the gulf.

Most of the anons ITT don't understand the difference between climate and weather. Go back to school.

>>16704943
Because the difference is wet bulb temperatures. We perceive higher wet bulb temperatures as hotter because it suppresses our ability to sweat to cool off. For instance 100 degrees with 0 humidity is hot, but not deadly. It might even feel good to be in 100 degree dry weather. Conversely you should absolutely be afraid of 90 degree wet bulb temps, and you can just straight up die if you spend more than a few hours outside at 95 degree wet bulb temps.

Gotta love the color-coding!

>>16704738
So 90 wet bulb is more dangerous than 90 actual? If not, why is 90 different colors between the maps?

>>16706191
Look anon, I'm just gonna give it to you straight: it's colors on a fucking map. If you genuinely care about it that much, then clearly you're either profoundly retarded, attempting to argue in bad faith or both.

>>16706191
>So 90 wet bulb is more dangerous than 90 actual?
90 wet bulb is equivalent to 90 degrees with 100% humidity. 90 actual could have 100% humidity, in which case they are equally dangerous, or it could be near 0% humidity, in which case the wet bulb temperature is far more dangerous.

Temperature alone is, as it turns out, a bad measure of temperature. That's why "feels like" temperatures, wind chill, wet bulb, and heat index all exist.

>>16706212
"Why do you care" is not a scientific argument. It's a bad faith deflection tactic. If it didn't matter, it wouldn't have been changed. It was changed for a reason. You cannot admit that reason because you do not care for science, you worship ideology. This begs the question of what are you doing on a science board and why do you keep deflecting?

>>16704496 (OP)
The Gate is opening. The Sacrifice is approaching.

>>16706266
Ok if you want an answer, it's because wet bulb temps are a better measure of how dangerous the temps are for humans. There's your answer.

Also just trying to point out how much of a red herring you faggots are clinging to
>carbon emissions are warming the planet at a rapid pace
>"It's the maps! The god damn alarmists are making the maps more red trying to spread lies"

Notice how you're not actually engaging with the point.

>>16704496 (OP)

All climate is geoengineered. The US and Europe are the simplest examples: note how, initially, it was only hot in the parts that Washington-Brussels deemed subhuman, the South-Southeastern parts of the two land masses, and heat was only evenly distributed as soon as Yankees and BeNeLuxoids were also deemed subhuman by their masters during the late 2000s/early 2010s; naturally, this coincided with the beginning of their replacement.
