All Activity

Which periods of the 50s are you referring to Liberty? Just those two? Otherwise some below normal / wet sumemr months in the 50s (area-wide)

I think CC is going to impact the tropics in the same manner that it is winter in terms of the greater degree of variance...ie "all of nothing". When conditions are favorable, it will undoubtedly be hyper active with instense storms, but I think there will be some instances where it will result in greater shear.

This progression might indeed happen, heat mid week, followed by a couple days of relative cooling , then a heat wave ( worse North of us ) and then moderation again, matching the global wind progressions. Note the worst of the heat moving back West by days 14 to 15.

Okay, no one is calling for hyper active.

I wasn't alive in the 50s when those historic heatwaves occurred in 1953 and 1955 that haven't been matched since, but I was alive in the 1990s especially years like 1991 and 1993 when it was hotter here with less rain and more sunshine. I feel like our springs have gotten cooler and wetter since then. Central NJ has always been a heat paradise lol. Incidentally, the great 1953 heatwave and historic number of 95+ days in 1955 at both NYC and LGA hasn't been matched since either. I agree that climate change is changing our climate, but I don't think it's making our extremely hot days any hotter, it's increasing the mins and making it wetter. Otherwise why is the 95+ record at both LGA and NYC still from 1955?

This is also a Sonoran heat release pattern fwiw

I sincerely hope you’re right as I want a quiet season for a change. But “anyone that’s been paying attention knows we’re not coming anywhere these numbers”?? Named Storms: 15-19Total Hurricanes: 7-9Major Hurricanes: 2-3ACE Index: 120-150 Based on what are you saying you know we’ll be nowhere close to these mainly slightly above avg #s? We’re headed toward a weak Niña per RONI, which favors more active than avg and Atlantic temps are near the 1991-2020 avg, not cool?

Yes I would like to see a traditional 40s and 50s style heat ridge. I think climate change is messing with our ridges and making it more wet and less hot here in the summer so maybe we can reverse that now.

it's different dry vs wet. I have a really bad mold allergy problem and I sneeze too much to be able to sleep if the air is really moist.

Interesting in 2024 and 21 the ridge position switched and trended north over time witihin this timeframe, while this time appears to be stable. We shall see. That strong storm over the plains ND is pumping the flow SW and building the ridge.

we really need to build houses like they do in the southwest, instead of these brick ovens people live in.

it happens even in some of our hottest summers like July 1993, right before the historic heat came in.

I hope it overpowers the ocean and we hit 100+ down here too. the sea breeze needs to be deported....

This is absolutely amazing, I wonder if I can match or exceed my 105.6 reading down here from July 2011. I'll take a picture of my digital thermometer if it happens, just like I did back then.

It need to be below 72 for me to sleep comfortably. Anything above that and I need a fan blowing in my direction. I can sleep just fine with temps as low as 60 indoors, I just use a comforter. Sleeping in the 80s would be impossible.

Yay I want to see 40c on Long Island! I hit 105.6 on July 22, 2011.

Question from a Marylander. End of July we will be in the Eastman / Dartmouth area for a few days. Wondering if any of you can recommend a decent golf course or two in that area? I may be able to get a tee time, via my club, at Manchester CC but that seems to be a good hour drive. Thanks

Good luck with that. Anyone that's been paying attention knows we're not coming anywhere near these numbers.

Most recent Jul 3, 2021 it was in the 60s to at 70 after some record heat and sandwiched between the next heat around Jul 7/8 of upper 90s.

why, this weather really sucks. fortunately humans can modify their own climate and I have my space heater running at 83 degrees since last night (yes I boosted it a degree because 82 made me feel cold last night.) The 83 degree setting on my space heater compensates for the lack of sun and also eradicates this excessive moisture at the same time, killing mold. It feels really nice here with a nice dry 83 degree heat (actually it's 85 since the heater only stops when my room temperature hits 85). My rule of thumb is I can tolerate temperatures in the 60s when there is no wind and the sun is out. But if there is no sun and it's windy my heat needs to stay on. The space heater nicely compensates for the lack of sun and nukes the moisture in the air too. My indoor humidity is only 44% right now.

That’s only for places near the immediate South Shore and Eastern Long Island. Most of the area away from the beaches and sea breeze influence have experienced all-time numbers of 90° days this decade especially closer to Central NJ. So the heat is much more widespread than it was back in the 1950s. Nearly every year this decade someone in NJ is getting to 40 days reaching 90°. Those instances were few and far between in the older era.

Yeah west is best. Not expecting anything here

Yes, and 106 readings I got in my car driving through Queens in 1993, 2010 and 2011. I agree that there are some parts of the city that are hotter than others, so if we can use some thermometers, we should be able to use them all.

Once the ridge relaxes around 6/27-28, heights remain elevated but it would turn/hot humid with chances for storms keeping rainfall normal - above.

There were 100 degree readings in NYC 2021
