What confuses me about July 1966 is that usually JFK and LGA need the diametrically opposite wind directions to record their hottest temperatures, how did they both record their all time records on the same day? And Central Park did not?

69 / 60 - gorgeous day on tap and a nice stretch through at least Sunday of dry weather. 80s today sunny clear - great so cal style beach day - bbq - outside , pool, and fireworks on the bay or beach. Saturday looks like a copy a shade warmer get the hot spots to 90. Sunday hotter with more widespread 90s mainly inland as onshore/seabreeze kicks in. Mon - Wed - warm - hot / humid but storm chances each day return with onshore component keeping the heat focuses west in NJ but could get to 90 into the boroughs. Beyond beyond overall warm to hot / humid and wetter with ridge building into the east with stronger heat by the 17th. 7/4 - 7/6 : Dry / clear (80s 4th, 80s - 90s 5th/6th hotter) 7/7 - 7/10: Warm, - hot / wetter 7/11 - 7/16 : overall warm - hot / humid / wetter 7./17 - beyond : hotter

The weird thing is that the sea breeze went back offshore around 5 PM and JFK hit 102 a second time (it's like a mix line moving around in the winter lol) and it was around the same time I recorded my location record of 106.0 We had clouds for an hour too when the temperatures leveled off between 101 and 102 before it cleared out after 4 PM and the temperatures started climbing again.

Reading comprehension; I never said anything about a record hot July besides I hope we have one Yet last summer was one of the hottest on record for SNE, and they seem to be growing on trees as of late. Then this general SST configuration/look, plus (fading?) Nina, I'd hedge AN July with a fair shot at top 10'er, or slight top 5'er

damn we did hit 92 here I guess JFK got the sea breeze earlier

Very difficult to know ahead of time when dealing with the sea breeze at JFK. Both stations in Ozone Park made it to 105° on the other side of the Belt Parkway. So JFK would have done it if the sea breeze could have held off for an hour or two more.

1953 and 1993 really stand out in this table....

By the way I think this past June was JFK's best chance to beat that 104 record from July 1966 that I've seen in a long time. Many reporting stations on the south shore were in the 106-107 range on June 24 (including mine.) It was hotter here than July 22, 2011 was, which is absolutely amazing. Do you think within the next 10 years JFK will beat the 104 they set that year and LGA will beat the 107 they set on the same day, Chris? What confuses me about July 1966 is that usually JFK and LGA need the diametrically opposite wind directions to record their hottest temperatures, how did they both record their all time records on the same day? And Central Park did not?

Thankfully. That New Years Eve storm was definitely the closest I've seen to severe weather here in a long time.

the two dummies Morgarbage and Cranky, can't make it up

It’s still a toss up whether we make it back to 100° this summer. Since some years with 100° in June did like 2024 and others like 2021 didn’t. Our next chance may be later in July.

Did you not see that absolutely amazing triple rainbow, JM???

Very pleasant morning. 64 for the low

You don't want what they had-- trust me. I live on the South Shore to not get severe weather and yet it still happens here sometimes and until I upgraded my network with UPS devices, I would experience electrical device damage on my computers, TVs, air conditioners, from electrical storms. I was happy to get some GREAT triple rainbow pictures (the first time I've EVER seen that!!!) and see some lightning bolts in the distance (without the sound of loud thunder thankfully.)

1977 hot stretch was similar to 1966's but less severe (at its peak), it's interesting how these extreme hot stretches have an 11 year return period, is there a solar activity connection?

Any thoughts on next Saturday for PIT2 land? Asking for a friend.

I HATE SEVERE WEATHER. Three people died in Plainfield, NJ last night, may they RIP. I remember the East Coldenham disaster and mention it frequently. It happened when I was in high school, we were taken outside that afternoon and told to stand in the football field outside the school, it was so windy that we could barely open the doors to get outside and while we were standing outside in the football field we saw multiple swirling vortices over our heads (none made it to the ground where I was fortunately.) I also hate the sound of thunder and seeing lightning, one hit hear my house in the Poconos years ago and I could smell burning wood and almost went deaf from the loud sound of it. I also posted damage a microburst did to my roof and balcony at that house, less than a minute of wind violence and so much damage, it was absolutely horrifying.

That 3 at JFK must be the three straight 100+ from July 1966 Don. In July 2010 it was 3 days out of 4, I guess the one day in that stretch they didn't hit 100 they were also lower than 98.

Over the top warmth isnt going to get you your record ass sweat. Need heights building from sw, tenn valley.

Nothing like 1966 or 2010 unfortunately.

60 60 now

It wasn't nearly as long as the big heatwaves in the 40s or 50s either, however it's the only time that JFK had three straight days over 100 (three days out of four during this same period in 2010) and both LGA and JFK have their alltime high temperatures from that summer. People who hate heat on here would have gone crazy and thought the world was coming to an end with this kind of super heatwave lol, note how 100+ was reached in three different heatwaves!!! It's now become very rare to reach 100 in multiple heatwaves.

These clowns lol.

You didn’t even look. Just regurgitating what Cranky says in tweets

on a smoothed ensemble mean, that's damn warm. 1.5-3C who knows, the 6z ops are actually fairly cool. no one knows
