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.
Wow I just realize how much rain they got. Big difference a few miles north more like 0.1 to maybe .25 around here. We'll see.
NWS is close to have the next heat wave just connecting with this one making just one extra long heat wave. 2 89 degree days forecasted before another stretch of 90s. I doubt it, but it'd be interesting if LGA or EWR managed to pull that off.
87/77 HI 99
The numbers might not show it, but It feels worse to me than those days with a heat advisory. That humidity where everyone walking outside looks likes zombies. Also could be the cumulative effect of day after day heat.
