It hit 98 here. Newark hit 99, which tied the all time May high temp record.

97 down here in DC as I’m about to go roast at Nationals Park

A PWS in Templeton hit 96F with rounding. ineedAC

I saw 100° on the dashboard in two spots earlier. I just missed a small boomer by a few miles. They always look good from the side as they go by.

Now we action

Records? Never mind. I looked and yes for at least Dulles.

It’s been rock steady. I think this is the first real consistent rainfall any of us will have seen since last August. It has been delayed slightly here Thursday which likely means Thursday gets well into 90s before the storms arrive. Can imagine them being frisky with that kind of heat to work with

Cell peaked heading into my area... Two trees down and power out; genny running.

That’s crazy! 94.8 for the high here (hottest day of year so far) but a far cry from the *at least* 97 RDU hit. Guess the drought/heat spike theory is back for RDU sensor being warmer than everywhere else

DCA has joined the other airports at hitting at least 96. It'll be interesting to see if any of those cells can make it east. The leading showers are dying after they get to about IAD.

Warned cell to my S.

Brutal out. Breeze not as strong at work. Our track workers taking measurements at 10am showed 126 on the trackbed surface before they did maintenance. Can't imagine how much worse it got as day progressed. Currently 96 at home in little ferry.

Philadelphia has hit 98°. That sets a new May monthly record.

95 high here. 92 now. Stout SW winds

When every ensemble gives you 2"+ what could go wrong?

NYC only reached 92! According to their main weather site! It didn't get too hot today!

Looking at mid May relative 1+2, 1997 was +2.2 and rising (it hit +3.0 in early June and +4.0 in early Aug) vs 2026 being +1.3 and rising. Otherwise, 1997 and 2026 are very close in 3, 3.4, and 4. So, that’s why I have 1997 more E based than 2026 as of the mid May snapshot. It’s all because of 1+2, which has a 0.9C diff although it’s a more volatile area since smaller. https://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/data/indices/rel_wksst9120.txt

I went for a quick dip no wetsuit after going for a run on the beach Sunday. With the light onshore flow and full sun nearshore water temp was def mid to upper 50s. Water was carribean turquoise at west end 2. Buoy 44065 currently 56.7 2026-05-19 03:50 pm S 19.4 23.3 3.6 5 4.1 S 30.01 - 60.6 56.7 58.5 - - -

The microclimate over there needs to be studied.

A little rain here.
