Thanks Tony, do you have anything from the 6 day heatwave at JFK in 1948 that peaked at 101? 1948 was when their period of record began.

wow nice pictures, I wonder if any of those people are alive today?

1966 and 2010 were both at 100 or above (2010 a little hotter than NYC, 1966, was significantly hotter than NYC.) Some of those other periods were really long, an 8 day heatwave in 2013 which peaked at 100 (hotter than NYC) 2006 had a 7 day heatwave that I don't even remember that peaked at 99 wow. 1993's 7 day heatwave that peaked at 101 I remember well and also 1999's 5 day heatwave that peaked at 102. And 1983's 6 day heatwave that peaked at 100 which was our previous hottest summer prior to 2010.

1994 Jun 19: EWR: 102 JFK: 98 NYC: 97 LGA: 97 ISP: 96

From what others have said 1953 was a nationwide heatwave..... what was going on that summer to make it so hot for so long and especially so late in the season?

Christmas in July?

Highs: EWR: 92 TEB: 92 ACY: 91 PHL: 91 TTN: 89 New Brnswck: 89 LGA: 88 BLM: 88 * JFK: 87 ISP: 86 NYC: 86

what about in 1994 when JFK and NYC were both at 98?

JFK could easily be over 100 with Long Beach at 92. I think you guys were in the 90s in 93, 99, etc too when JFK was over 100.

Temps underachieved here today with only 93. Only 93 at MLI as well. Mid 70s dews pushed the index over 105 though. Our hottest temp so far remains the 95 back on May 15th, although that was with much lower humidity.

You never know what a full moon elicits

Please be careful

DTW did hit 92 but Detroit City and Mt Clemens only hit 89. I suspect I only hit 88-89 on the east side by the water. A bit underwhelming for day 1 but the main heat should be tomorrow thru Tuesday.

Got to 89 at home today

Staying at a hotel!

Spent the day in the Rutland area today. Attended a small bbq festival and the went over to the Hubbarton Battlefield historic site. Interesting displays and a beautiful setting. Great day to be outdoors.

Hottest in Long Beach: 92. Hottest in my backyard: 101. Hottest at Central Park: 102.

1953 ran from 8/26 through 9/3. I've added the updated chart.

Cutwater espresso martinis here tonight. first firepit of the season
