88/80/105 right now. High was 91.

Pouring off and on near ISP.

Sporadic raindrops here. Grass is starting to brown a bit. Only 3 inches of rain so far for met summer.

86 at my PWS underneath a thunderstorm, high so far is 98. I can hear and see it from the south shore.

It’s wild how unremarkable 80-degree dews have become in recent years, they’re about as run-of-the-mill as a high in the low 90’s at this point.

A watch is basically an all-clear signal for LI. I feel like every severe storm (not many) I’ve experienced while living here has happened with no watch. 91/70, not bad. Holiday traffic is already ridiculous.

Currently 70, about 30 degrees lower than yesterday at this time. Midnight high of 82 for today though.

99, 103, 102. Almost 3 consecutive triple digit days.

Lightning from the storm out in the Atlantic is visible all the way from the north shore of LI, I initially thought it was much closer.

Seabreeze is only good for thunderstorms, sometimes.

100. I wasn’t expecting that, but then again we were running slightly warmer than yesterday this morning.

“In New York City, the temperature fell just shy of hitting triple digits, but the high of 99 degrees was still enough to beat the previous daily record for the date, surpassing the high of 96 degrees set on June 24, 1888. Some areas not far from Central Park, where the official weather observations for the city are taken, did manage to hit 100 degrees, including Newark (103) and John F. Kennedy International Airport (102).” https://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-news/philly-boston-hit-100-nyc-breaks-record-from-1888-amid-heat-wave/1787130?partner=web_grailr_adc That’s a lot of unnecessary verbiage to contradict the first statement. JFK, LGA, JRB, and the entire micronet just don’t exist in New York City, I suppose.

Already 90 here, yesterday at this time it was 89.

Same. Feels sort of nice without getting blasted by the sun at its peak angle.

July 22, 2011 is my personal all-time highest at 105, I lived in Queens though. Today’s 103 is highest for Long Island, first triple digit high after reaching 99 multiple times.
