Had another massive housefly hatch today . Over the last hour killed at least 30. They were everywhere

Remember August 2011?? After it hit 103 and 102 on back to back days on July 22 and July 23 2011 at JFK, we had 10 inches of rain on August 14 2011; this was 2 weeks before Irene. A Saturday all day heavy rain!! The SST peaked in the low 80s because of all that heat, around 83 degrees.

Now do @EastCoast NPZ

91, 93, 90 Without a doubt the most 90’s in one season since I’ve lived in this spot in 05. What a summer. Augdewst after the 5th will deliver much more

Oh, look, another day with storms to the south. Groundhog Day on repeat.

They did it for uniformity. Not because they expect it or think possible . This whole thing continues trending south

Greening the city is a really good idea with multiple health benefits (not just cooler temperatures but reducing air pollution by serving as air filters too.)

yep and even Florida is hitting 100 more often now-- Tampa hit 100 for the first time ever and a record setting 113 heat index too.

@BlizzardNole If your vehicle has a sunroof, leave it open tomorrow. If you have a mower, leave it outside. And, of course, water everything tomorrow. Combine all that together and that should get you at least 3".

Meant to tell you the other day but very good job in calling for the continuation of the -PDO regime and doubting an El Niño. You were one of the very few voices calling for a possible continuation of the -PDO and a 2nd year La Niña

Spent a lot of time skiing Pila as a kid. Great mountain but gets crowded!

Maybe they can get a prospect for Cano lol. Coulda been a 4 game sweep.

well now that we know that Tampa can hit 100 degrees I guess we can too. I read they just had their highest ever heat index of 113 too.

Looks like 10+ days of dry/low humidity days. It's you're lucky summer.

Normally, you'd want some winds at night. The winds aid in evaporative cooling off your skin to make you feel cooler.

18z focusing on NCT to SNH

I do think that we could go to SLGT for severe, as there is a fair amount of downdraft CAPE in the forecast soundings. I think that’s contingent on the initial batch of Precip being an organized southeast-moving line If there are scattered cells earlier in the afternoon, as shown by a few solutions, our severe chances are likely lower. But as discussed above, the flooding threat tomorrow is real.

It got to 97 here on a southerly wind, my hottest of the month

The really interesting thing is they are always considerably hotter than the rest of us and even exceed Philadelphia in 90 and 100 degree highs. Sometimes JFK is tied with them in heat on a downsloping wind, but they're usually ahead of everyone else even then. 1993 was a case in point, 9 100+ degree days at EWR, 3 100+ degree days at NYC, and 2 100+ degree days at JFK and this was before the ASOS and/or siting issues. And I read that the siting isn't as much of an issue with Central Park, as is the switch to ASOS. Why did we switch to ASOS in the first place? I liked what we had before it was much more accurate (with temperatures and wind speeds and precipitation type.)

These heat waves are brutal with these high dew points and humidity. Everyone who left Florida for Past heat waves have not been as oppressive with these high dewpoints. The Northeast has become Florida-like in the summer. You can call it anything you want but the climate has changed for the worse and our weather is miserable in July.

it reached 100° at 4:40 pm.

Newark reached 100° a short time ago.

JFK still well behind its 10 set in 2010.

I mean the local furnaces made it that high, but I have a strong feeling that in summers past (like 1991, 1993, 1999, etc.) places like Corona Queens were regularly over 100 degrees. Places like that probably hit 100 degrees at least once every summer. The peak was 103-106 in June, but more like 97-101 in July. The lower sun angle might have more to do with it, as it hasn't been rained here much.

I think the dryness is partly to blame. The grass around here has seen better days.
