Thanks, this was the hottest June day that I remember.

A derecho and WW3 on the same day. What are the odds?

Thanks this is some way to begin their period of record (which began in late July.)

Back at dock, made another T&T. Son will be home from work shortly, he might start the fire pit

Newark wow, 5 days out of 6 of 100 or above and an all time September record of 105....... Sundog would not be pleased lol.

I was crawling around staining a deck in Ellicott City. It was brutal at times. It was 92 from Ellicott City to Crofton at about 1500.

some very dry years back then especially 1953 and 1966 (maybe 1944 and 1948 and 1949 and 1955 also?)

Only battle in VT! I was right over at Otter Creek Gorge today, more impressive than I thought it would be! And grabbed this little guy in a nearby creek on the fly.

1953, 1977 and 1993 all stand out for being 8-9 days in length. 1977 being the most intense out of those and also the longest.

53 was drier (very dry)/ the heat was most pronounced in late August in September.

Yes that was an absolutely amazing heatwave that resembled 1993 in some respects, three straight days of 100+ at NYC and 2 straight days of 100+ at JFK. JFK's recorded history also began in 1948 as Idlewild.

91 today. Pretty impressive heat wave considering how cool it's been

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.
