Thats central park - many sites had two 7+ in 2016 and 2018 in NYC/NE-NJ. Ill check some other years and sites.

Experts say we pay for the tame start by July 4 through September. .

At least it’s warm and humid. Much more manageable

Note this doesn't mean ACC is not occurring, of course it is, it's just that it's nuanced in terms of how in the summer it's much more driven by higher minima. In winter it's driven by both. Record 95+ streak for NYC, the last one was in 2002 =\ I miss my extreme heat summers....

Some of our longest 95+ streaks, the last one was in 2002.

0.1”ish

it looks like the sun is trying to come out here, thankfully

But not two 7+ day streaks in one summer since 2002. Also found this regarding Central Park https://thestarryeye.typepad.com/weather/2013/07/new-yorks-lengthiest-heat-waves.html A heat wave, at least in the Northeast, is defined by the National Weather Service as three days in a row with high temperatures of 90° or hotter. They occur, on average, about twice each summer. However, this post is interested in "big boy" heat waves, i.e., those lasting seven days or longer. Since records began in 1872 there have been just twenty-two, with one occurring about every seven years. The seven-day heat wave of July 2013 broke a ten-year streak without one (and there hasn't been one of this length since).

Cool Nights

The small black ticks are the worst and they're the ones that cause Lyme disease. A deer fell into my pool and died a few years ago and I found six of those ticks on my clothes that summer and got that tick repellant chemical from Amazon to put on my clothes, but I was changing my clothes in my garage every day I worked in my garden and washing those garden clothes in a bucket in my driveway outside every day. I did some research and found out that the tick's best natural enemy is an opossum, they eat those things like crazy so now I always leave food out for them.

Ahh central park LGA, EWR, New brnswck many other sites have had 7+ or longer heatwaves since 2002. SO has NYC

And the models forecast it all the time to no avail

It’s amazing how second soil temps crack summer levels the crab grass explodes into existence. I’m grateful for the rain, and cooler temps right now. It’s giving my sprouting grass and young lawn a fighting chance. Full Sun and dry for a string of days is especially detrimental for new lawns in June with the peak sun angle.

I broke down and installed.. 2 windows in each room so the cool nights were going to be getting I'll just put the window fan in the other one.

It really doesn’t have to be this way; but you guys who want 88+ and endless sun are asking for it.

0.10" from this morning. Looks like up to an inch in some of the favored areas of that line as it came through.

Ticks are insane. The small ones esp. Up until this year it was not a problem for the dog because he used to be able to have a collar or take meds. Never had seizures before then BOOM he had one. Vet says no more tick meds or collars. Leash walks now only in the neighborhood. We may try another tick topical product and see what happens.

.5” of rain in 30 minutes. At swim time trails of course! I have a feeling it’s gonna be an uncooperative summer for swim teams in the area.

No thats not all of it, climate change doesn't mean higher highs here in the northeast, at least in the areas where we live. It's not about *sensors running warmer* I lived through the 1991, 1993, 1999, 2002 great summers when we had 100 degree days. I measured the heat myself and it was more excessive than what we see now. Cities like PHL, NYC, JFK are on record lack of 100 day streaks now. It's because *climate change* does not mean *global warming* not every place is experiencing higher temperatures, especially higher maxima. In the winter sure, it's getting warmer, but the summer-- not so much. The averages are getting somewhat higher yes, but that is driven by higher minima, extreme heat is being blunted by more rainfall. You can see this with how heatwaves are much shorter than they were back in the period I referenced, with drier hotter summers in the 90s up to 2002 we had much longer heatwaves. 2002 was our last summer with two 7+ day heatwaves and we have not seen 100 degrees here since 2013, and this record applies to all three cities.

Still no 90s in Harrisburg yet..Came close on the 4th with 89..Still no heatwaves in sight.Last year we started off cool but Summer really kicked in mid June.

Philly, NYC, JFK all have record lack of 100 day streaks right now.
