I don't recall anyone saying cold.

It's wild that many of these coops are still around Chris! But the one at Mineola isn't any longer is it (the one that recorded 108 in July 2011?) It would be interesting to see what they would have recorded in that June 2025 extreme heatwave.

588dm mean over SNE d15. Is that supposed to be cold?

June was top 5

Thanks we're one off the lead for 100+ and two off the lead for 98+ I think 1983 was the only one at JFK that had two different heatwaves get to 100+, one was in July and the other one was in August.

we are also farting out top 5's, you're making my point. :/

JFK hit 100+ on all three of those days Don? I thought it was 2 while it was 3 at NYC?

They just don’t get it

I wouldn’t rule out top 5 yet.

They're getting rich, hope this helps

114 years ago today One of the hottest New England days on record…especially north of Pike All time records for VT and NH (ME was 6 days later) BOS 104 PWM 103 CON 102 ORH 102 (old site but only 100+ on record)

Today will be the 13th 90 degree day here, and the 11th for MLI.

It will be AN for sure but nobody in New England is breaking heat records with that EPS look.

Under the ridge - warm-hot / humid and wet - EUro similar to the GFS/C

Maybe the ASOS back in 1966 wasn’t so close to the water at LGA. But not sure. The current location is right on the bay near the NW corner of the airport.

Good outflow aloft. Looks like depression to me or even a 40-45 mph Tropical Storm Chantal. Small Upper level low just southeast of Atlanta Georgia and dry air punching in from the northwest should limit development but also should tug what could become Chantal towards the southeast South and North Carolina coastline before gradually moving back off to the northeast. Another interesting area well to the east of the Bahamas. Things waking up a bit out there.

Yes. There was also August 26-28, 1948.

Was this adjusted later to 90 at JFK? We hit 92 here but I thought JFK fell just short at 89 Tony?

It hit 92 here -- I guess JFK gets the sea breeze before we do. What I want to know is how did Bridgeport hit 90, aren't they on a peninsula that extends into Long Island Sound?

we had a great triple rainbow!!!

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
