Dew at 68 now.Feeling better and better

HRRR keeps looking better

Nice evening on the river

The 1948 event would have been shortened to August 26-28, as there were three consecutive 100° highs.

Yes 89.6 here

Maybe someone can take a digital thermometer into Central Park and take a picture of it in there like we sometimes do when there's an errant snowfall total there.

NYC 95 and EWR 110.

104C = 40C so you should love that if you're a fan of the metric system lol

Nice big one, grade A firewood.

Yep and 2010 comes really close and rounds up to 100 since it's 99.5 I'm convinced JFK exceeded 100 in both 1966 and 2010 because they had 3 days of 100+ both times (three in a row in the first one and three days out of four in the second one.)

I will check out JFK. The thresholds differ from those at Central Park.

1953 and 1955 are absolutely wild because they each had two such periods. Don the second period in 1953 could be extended into early September when it peaked at 102.....

Exactly what I'm doing minus the swim, got my puppy laying next to me, nice night out.

1966 is the only one where the average was over 100. But it's not fair to have the whole period average over a certain number, basically if there are 5 days over 90 all 5 days qualify but if two out of those 5 days the average was 90 and the other three days it was 106, it would still not average over 100 over the 5 day period, despite those three days being absolutely epic heat. Yet if the 90 degree days were only 89 degrees they wouldn't be counted as part of the period and the average would shoot up despite technically being a cooler stretch.

Starting to see the signs summer is not endless.

Don, do 1966 and 2010 meet the criteria at JFK? Do any of those other years? I know JFK had 3 days out of 4 in 2010 at 100 or above and in 1966 they had three straight days of 100+?

The value is based on percentile ranking.

which one would stand out if 100 was the criteria, 1993? oh nevermind I thought one of the criteria was three straight days above that number if going by average high it's definitely 1966. you could argue that 2010 would also meet the criteria since 99.5 rounds up to 100

Then there would have only been one event that qualified as per Don's chart. 100 is too high for our area.

1977 and 1993 really stand out in this list
