dWave

including 3 straight days with 80+ minimums, and 4 of 5 days. That level of sustained heat with no relief is worse than just very hot days. It takes quite a toll on you. We're not in FL with widespread central AC

I got to 95. Its been partly sunny for the most part. Mostly cloudy once in a while but high thin clouds not thick overcast. I did get a thicker overcast recently but to my suprise temps still holding in low 90s.

Got pretty dark here. Severe T storm warning for Northern Westchester, Fairfield county CT. Around Ossining now, Mt Kisco about to get it.

93/67 Heat wave on day 6. 12 of last 13 days 90+, 18 90+ days for the month, 22 total.

LGA hit 90, now passing 2010 for most 90+ days for July. I would assume for any month as well.

Heat milestones all over. DC has 32 straight 70+ lows for 3rd longest, approaching the record of 35 in 2016. They also broke the record of 90+ days in a month at 27, breaking the record of 25. I dont see LGA getting below 70 anytime soon, you think we make it to the top spot? I believe LGA is just short of most 90s in a month too?

currently 90, got another one.

Mostly cloudy at times and temp mainly steady since mid morning around 85. Now up a little, 87/70.

Oppressively humid post downpour, 84/78

Alot of wind with that storm. Tracking north of I 95/Cross Bronx. Heavy rain, now light and looks like the sun ready to come back out just to the west. Headed toward the Sound now

I heard they closed beaches atlantic beach to Jones beach now

Here we go..heavy rain, windy. Plummeted to 81

Mostly cloudy, windy, 92/71. Some rain crossed the GWB. Radar says a downpour is a couple blocks away. Centered around Fordham, crossing the Botanical Garden now.

94/71 HI 102

If they were to hold Central Park and LGA would set record high minimums. 81 at the Park, and 85 at LGA. Old record 78 at both.

Must be one of the hottest nights we've had. Currently 85/72 HI 91. low waw 83. What's really impressive is how many pws stayed in the 80s beyond NYC. Its usually limited to the most urban neighborhoods and doesnt extend much beyond 5 boros if at all. It looks like lots of 80s to just short of white plains (the actual city not to the airport area)

90/71 right now. Should get below 90 by midnight

Hempstead closed their beaches. Also reportedly a woman was killed in a shark attack in Maine today.

High was 97, humidty not terrible and a strong breeze made it hot but manageable. Now, return of the dew. 93/71. 5th time 95+

wind has turn more SW and very gusty. dew point is up slightly, 97/67, heat index 102.

yeah CPK got nearly 1.5" rain from a downpour few days ago. Without a lot of sun or air flow getting there it takes a while to dry out. Meanwhile I got just a few light showers that dried up right away. Anyway, I've found that I often feel hottest outside of Manhattan in general. All the tall buildings cast so much shade, at least south of 96th, midtown etc. Very urban but low rise areas in the other boros feel the worst to me, some streets are just baking with little shade to be found for blocks on end. The million+ new trees planted from the Bloomberg era to now may help, but they tend to be shorter cherry blossoms type trees, at least around here. They look nice but don't give much shade. I wonder if that many additional trees over the years is enough to have an appreciable effect on humidity in the city. I do know there are a lot more and wider variety of birds than in the past. another 90 here, 93/64

87/65 here, low was 79.

88 dew 64, after high/low of 95/78.

Went to Robert Moses today, and water was much cooler than last couple weeks. It was turquoise bath water not that long ago. Was back to chilly brown water today. May of got a little warmer as the day went on and lost some of that brown look too. I suppose as winds went more southerly. It was pretty gusty W to WSW wind to start. Water pretty rough too.

Yeah NYC has been (barely) humid subtropical for a while now. NYT probably worded it like that because it makes for a more attention grabbing headline. The substance of article is legitimate, but the headline is a little marketing spin. But it worked, it featured on sites like Gothmaist now.
