are you sure this isn't from traffic congestion? the 2020s really have not felt anywhere near as hot as 1993 or 1999 did or 2010 or 2011 for that matter. scientifically speaking it's much harder to get extended or extreme heat because of more water vapor in the air, so it really hasn't been as hot as it was in those years.

I remember freezing my butt of at a ball game there in June one year, went for three games, wore a sweatshirt for the last two.

What would the storm mode be? Could we even possibly see a derecho?

omg did you check out 1949 Walt? 1949 gives 1993 a run for its money..... incidentally, 1949 had 5 99+ days at NYC, while 1993 had 3 100+ days at NYC (including 3 in a row.) EWR had 8 100+ days in 1949 and 9 100+ days in 1993 as well as 5 100+ days in a row (and hit 105 their all time record high twice in that streak!!)

The new NYC micronet had widespread 100° heat through Brooklyn and Queens in recent years. Even in Ozone Park just NW of the JFK ASOS. My guess is that Central Park also reached 100° numerous times on the Great Lawn.

This was stated perfectly

Yes Walt, the 1990s were most definitely our hottest decade, more specifically, the period from 1991 to 2002. Many historically hot summers in there: 1991, 1993, 1995, 1999, 2002 !!

But we don't have any official reporting sites in Brooklyn (and Brooklyn is in the SW part of Long Island geographically speaking so more like JFK than LGA) and the only part of Queens that hit 100 was near LGA lol.

For the record: Only Newark below. POR 1931. 8 summers had 100 in June as the warmest. Therefore the preponderance of 100 degree days did occur JA, generally not more than 2 days a month though a few big months which you can reference, especially for those that are using analog years. Eyeballing, the 1990s stand out a bit to me. METADATA may be important there which I did not check. ASOS install, locations etc. Bottom line this spells out the hottest days (not necessarily hottest summers). Don and others may be adding more. Thank you to the NWS collaboration developing XMACIS and to all the global researchers- modelers that develop and allow us view meteorological modeling.

They forget how summer works here now. Once it sets in, it’s in. There will be mild downs here and there, but the odds for a low dew JJA are pretty slim.

NWS point-clicks GFS based?

Can you please post heat maps? for some reason I can't do it myself.. I only see average to slightly above ones.

Newark had 100° heat last June in NJ on the 21st. But didn’t make it to Long Island. This was followed up by more 100° heat in August. Brooklyn and Queens made it to 100° in July 2022 along with NJ. June 2021 featured 100° heat throughout NJ, Brooklyn and Queens.

I bet that verifies a bit higher for BDL , if we get a clean ridge much higher..

This is some real crazy weather these days

NWS has been horrific lately

we almost stayed in the 50s yesterday Tony =\

with a ridge that strong shouldn't it connect to the offshore ridge and provide a continental westerly flow?

I will monitor... I certainly wouldn't be advising an emergency manager. I'm not an analog forecaster.

ACATT never fails to disappoint . As foolish as they make themselves look

Its all or more about the position center of the ridge, we have had record ridges in the past 10 years >600DM's.

Not much sun either, which is what I was referencing

no 100 degree heat in Brooklyn or Manhattan either lol. Only in northern Queens which is influenced by high traffic density.

I already looked at models this morning..do you need me to post every map for you? would you like me to make breakfast for you or can you do that yourself?

Yes these highs have been much weaker in the last few years than they were in the 90s when they overpowered the ocean.
