took a 30 minute walk while we had the chance, temp shot up 3 degrees while me and the wife were out 73.8/70.3

Newark's 81° low set a new June monthly record. The old record was 80°. That mark was set on June 28, 2010. Central Park recorded its earliest 80° low on record. The prior mark was set on June 26, 1952.

Hit 94° in Lebanon yesterday and already at 84° now. .

I am let it be hot in the summer and let it snow Thanksgiving to St Pattys day kinda of old timer. I do appreciate a dry heat / So Cal Palm Springs style .

87 / 75 hot / humid and mainly clear. 72 hour (6/23 - 6/25) the heat - near or record heat this is, is on. Mid - upper 90s with some of the hottest spots getting to 100 today. Widerspread 100s minus any of the caveats of clouds and seabreeze. Could be 3 lows >80 in the metros. Wed its a race to see if storms/clouds arrive before the hottest spots get to the century mark. Clouds/showers could muddy up continuing the heatwave on Thu (6/26) before more prominent storms come through later thu into fri/ Friday clouds, showers and onshore keeps it in the 80s/ 70s. The weekend looking to conitnue the trend with the threat of showers as the boundary linger near by, otherwise warm-hot / humid. Next week and leading up to the 4th - overall warm / humid and wetter. Ridge and heat building north and east towards the 7th. 6/23 - 6/25 : Strong Heat - upper 90s, 100s - lows >80 6/26: Hot/humid storms 6/27: Break in heat for all - clouds/showers 6/28 - 7/1: Warm-hot, humid - storms could keep it wet but period of sun (90s possible 1-2) 7/2 - beyond : Warm / humid - storms chances . Hotter towards the 6h/7th

84/80 already yikes

Working outside today...debated if I should or not but I am already coated in a thin layer of sweat. This is going to be special. I may take a joy ride later today and just listen to the hums of AC units cranked on full blast. There is a gratification to it, like taking a joy ride around the holidays and seeing all the outdoor light displays. Want to see pictures of people sweating, people at the beach, people fanning themselves, sweaty cracks, lines of people at ice cream places. There is really nothing more special than this.

They should place a micronet/mesonet station in a sunny part of Central Park for research purposes.

101 HX at JFK with 88°/78°. Kennedy Intl MOSUNNY 88 78 72 NE3 30.08S HX 101

Ugh, not looking forward to this!

83/79 here, heat index 95.

76 for the low. Already up to 85.

Fantastic news!

65 for my low. 72 attm. Should get to 92 or so. heading to NYC though. Ugh

Brownsville in Brooklyn is already 89°. https://www.nysmesonet.org/networks/nyc Brownsville Temp: 89°F

Most people are between 83 and 86 already on the Ambient Weather stations.

We're all going to be at 90+ by 10AM at this rate

How can the RGEM and GEMLAM be so different for Tuesday?

Yesterday the extended forecast was an unbroken string of 100's with zero rain. Long-range models always exaggerate about these things. Today the afternoon storm chances begin on Wednesday, and we go back to seasonal norms with daily storm risks. Only a mini-heatwave, I guess.

low of 67.8, up to 70.2 already... we climb

Do the people who are all gung ho for record heat and say they like it actually spend any appreciable time in it? Going from an air conditioned car to an air conditioned office to an air condirtioned home does not impress me. Granted I think @LibertyBell actually enjoys suffering in heat if he sleeps in temps over 80 voluntarily. I'm not so sure about some other people.
