probably silently speaks volumes about how much they appreciated his antics back in spring training when he attempted to dictate to the organization where/what/how he plays ... just a guess.

If you are looking for hot beach and pool weather looks like the last 10 days of June will grant your wish. OZ EPS.

What did the 8 in the other table indicate Chris? There is something in the other table that says 8 for 1955, 4 for 2024 and 2 for 2010-- was that number of 100+ days? If so that would mean that Hightstown had 8 days of 100+ in 1955? WOW!

1955 finished in 3rd place for 95° days there but was surpassed last summer.

Complete crap.

Wow! Thanks, I hope you’re right because I want quiet, but that would mean I bust hard with my 139 ACE and 9H/3MH forecast. I have 14 NS. Keep in mind that ASO 2014 was warm neutral and 2013 was cold neutral vs 2025’s ASO likely active season favoring weak La Niña.

1) He's hitting 245 in low A ball 2) He's in low A ball and a few if not severla years away 3) Just what they needed...another OF. Yay: Prospects TLDR: Tibbs currently has the look of a good platoon outfielder. His projection could shift into more of an everyday role if his defense improves and/or he shows he can hit upper-level lefties.

Not having lived during the 50s, Newark matches my experience of 1993 and 2010 being my two hottest summers during the time I've been alive. It's curious EWR is so much closer to my experience than LGA is lol.

Tony what was the high on August 16, did it stay in the 90s?

meh that 102 peak and 8 straight days of 95+ from 1944 really stands out, when you compute the average highs of both how do they compare? Incidentally both 1944 and 1988 are part of the 11 year solar cycle (as were 1955, 1966, 1977, 1999, 2010).

But what if it's a 12 year cycle from the 1944-1955 period that repeated during the 1991-2002 period, do you think the circulation pattern itself could be cyclic and if so, when it happens again the extreme heat will be even hotter than it was back then?

You can argue 1988 August was hotter overall - look at the 4 89 degree consecutive highs NYC (Central Park) August 1 91 73 0.00 0.0 August 2 91 75 0.00 0.0 August 3 89 76 0.00 0.0 August 4 89 76 0.00 0.0 August 5 89 76 0.00 0.0 August 6 89 75 0.00 0.0 August 7 91 77 0.00 0.0 August 8 88 72 0.00 0.0 August 9 93 73 0.00 0.0 August 10 93 76 0.00 0.0 August 11 95 77 0.00 0.0 August 12 94 80 0.00 0.0 August 13 96 79 0.00 0.0 August 14 99 80 0.00 0.0 August 15 97 81 0.00 0.0

All the subtle changes. For one, the Pacific is already active this year. That was not the case last year. Secondly, we're entering a 2nd year without a clear ENSO state, and we're near a solar max. The last time we had those conditions were in 2013 and 2014, and both produced well below average seasons. (Quite a contrast to 2010-2012, which were 3 very active seasons.) Everything is screaming this is going to be a quiet season. Here's my forecast (using 2013 and 2014 as my main analogs): 11 named storms (range 8-14) 4 hurricanes (range 2-6) 1 major hurricane (range 0-2) 51.5 ACE (range 36-67)

Just get a dehumidifier

Incidentally where is Hightstown Chris? I had never heard of this town until you started posting this but they seem to have a treasure trove of data going back to the 1940s, including some of the best historically hot summers like 1955 which leads the pack with 8 days of 95+ on that list!

The circulation patterns have changed since the 1950s. So areas east of the Hudson have more onshore flow influence and rainfall. So the most impressive records for heat in recent years have been found in NJ. We can’t use NYC to compare to those days since they changed how the measure temperatures in 1995 under the trees instead of out in the open in the 1940s and 1950s.

The got a 2024 first round pick back in Tibbs

wow I wish I was alive then, this must have been absolutely amazing-- look at that 96 high on August 16 with 0.88 of rain, who said it can't get hot and rain a lot at the same time ;-)

Hopefully

If the storms miss west Thursday . And the blistering pattern coming next few weeks. Everything will very quickly go Stein

False black widow? Maybe @weatherwiz would know

Chris, isn't the consecutive 95+ streak at Central Park from 1944 at 8 days? That's why I listed 1944 as the start of the super hot cycle that ended in 1955. 1944-1955 is twelve years and 5 of those summers were extremely hot. It mirrors the 12 year period from 1991-2002 which also had 5 really hot summers. Maybe climate change will add more to this intense heat and the next time we get this very hot 12 year cycle climate change superimposed on top of this 12 year cycle will break the records that were set in both those cycles? The records I'm looking at are: 1944 8 consecutive 95+ days NYC 1948 3 straight days of 100+ at JFK 1949 5 days of 99+ at NYC (the 8 days of 100+ at EWR was already exceeded in 1993, in the next very hot cycle). 1953 a 12 day and a 7 day super heatwave at NYC with 4 days of 100+ evenly split between the two superheatwaves, which included the highest temperature ever recorded in September at 102. 1955 16 95+ days at NYC and 14 95+ days at LGA Second hot cycle 1991 39 90+ days at NYC 1993 39 90+ days at NYC (tied 1991), 3 straight days of 100+ at NYC during a 10 day super heatwave, 9 days of 100+ at EWR, including 5 in a row (beat the record from 1949 during the last very hot cycle) 1995 July had our area's highest heat index on record (at LGA) followed by the driest August on record with widespread wildfires 1999 Two super heatwaves of 9 and 8 days length in July, exceeded 100 areawide and set records for number of 90+ days in July 2002 Two super heatwaves of 8 and 7 days length in July and August

While those 1950s heatwaves were intense while they were occurring, they didn’t t have the lasting power of extended stretches of 95°+ heat that has become common during the 2010s and 2020s. This is the top 11 for 95° days at Newark. 1955 only had 17 days reaching 95° in 1955. Newark has exceed that number twice since 2021. Last summer Central NJ had 21 days which surpassed 2002 and 1955.
