Yeah all day basically with an occasional burst of a moderate shower. Today is a more dreary, wetter, cooler day than yday. Yday was fairly nice for the most part.
-
Torrential downpours with frequent lightning. Feel like something close gor struck. Lots of hail with this storm, dime and nickel size Id guess. Same storm seen on the World Cup broadcast by the BK bridge 30 mins prior arrived here.
-
Smoke is terrible now. Worse than yday evening and still building it seems. Nauseating.
-
Has gotten much more hazy/smokey over the last hr. Appears to be at surface level now. From Lower Manhattan, Midtown is totally obscured.
-
This might be a first. A smoky strong t storm. Rain and gusty winds blasting the smoke smell into you. Does the rain help wash it away or just bring more down to the surface?
-
AQI is bad esp NYC and north. Unhealthy category from Lower Manhattan and north from there. Not as bad in SI and increasingly better into NJ S and W of SI
-
Smoke/haze is much thicker today and doesnt appear just aloft like yday. Looking down from a lower manhattan high rise its looks like its mixing down to ground level. Views toward NJ and Hudson Yards are almost totally obscured.
-
Soon after I said that some blue sky is trying to break through and you feel the difference with that brighter sun at times. It should still be widespread low 90s, with the Park the usual wildcard
-
Yeah its not that hot at all. Warm but as far as comfort goes you could say its a better than average mid July afternoon. Quite breezy, tolerable humidity, with bright but very obscured sun. Most pleasant heat advisory I've felt.
-
Thunder and lightning here but no rain, actual storm just missed by just several blocks it seems. Dramatic cool down, it feels amazing out for the moment. Came home to indoor temp 95, highest I can remember. Basically beyond the capabilities of some window AC's. Not doing much. Actual high outside of 102, before the plummet to the 70s.
-
This is what kills many potential record high minimum temps.
-
Its 97 at 10pm so very possible. I believe the record is 86. Central Park record is 84, which is in play. There have been overnights even warmer than those in the past but the record doesnt hold because they are often followed by t storms at some point on the same day that drops temps into the 70s
-
And now LGA "down" to 99 but dews are back in the 70s so highest heat indexes of the day are occurring now
-
Yeah. Cant say its a fluke or outlier sensor either. As of 9am almost all the real time sensors in NYC are in the 90s, plenty mid 90s as well. Just a couple were still at 89.
-
Its a brutal start esp urban areas. It feels how yday afternoon did already.
-
54?? Where? Jersey or LI?
-
90/75
-
89/74. Temp has been slowly but steadily rising, especially after about 9:30 pm. Was as low as 84 shortly after sunset.
-
Actually the Park was a decent representation of NYC today. Same 93 at LGA, and several degrees warmer than JFK, as you would expect with a south wind most of the day. That intense upper 90s heat was more in NJ and west of the Hudson in general. Or a good distance north of NYC in the Hudson Valley. Did achieve 100+ heat indexes though with mid 70s dew points.
-
91 dew 75. Temps is hot but not extreme. Been steady at about 91 since just after 12pm. Humidity is what tough. Heat index staying in the low 100s. Sometimes days like this will have a late day high in the evening. South wind fizzles and a quick spike occurs.
-
I partially blame local media outlets too. They can put more emphasis on other sites when nessasary. Or stop saying things like, NYC has not experienced 100+ since 2012. Central Park hasnt. There have been multiple offical 100 degree readings within NYC at LGA and even JFK. Plus plenty others where ever Con Ed puts a thermometer for what its worth. They probably just don't give it much thought, since many do not have decades of real life context about NYC climate records like people here. They work in NYC media because it was the best job offer.
-
We've had a good amount of quite low humidity days too. There are other years where it doesnt rain alot but at least the days with dew points in the 40s, or 30s are done by now.
-
Just based on feel, being out and about in Manhattan there was no was it was a run of the mil around 90 degree day. It had to be mid to upper 90s out. The Park was especially lagging yday considering we haven't had alot of heavy rain lately. It doesnt make sense that even the heliport downtown was running ahead of the Park and their sensor is sitting on a pier sticking out into the East River, just about to open into Upper NY Bay.
-
Tiny sample size, but I wonder how the summers in those years turned out. I know '77 was the year with the brutal heatwave and legendary blackout.
-
It does. Heavy downpours and constant thunder and lightning. Impressive for any time but especially for March.
