Yeah got super dark then 15 -20 min t storm, now breaks of sun with light rain continuing. Was quite the deluge. Quickly picked up 0.60"
-
JFK 84 with dew up to 77 feel like 94
-
Briefly touched 90 earlier, which makes heat wave. Now 87 but the humidity is back..dew 73, Feels like 94
-
That's the most common definition I've seen but it does vary by region. I don't think there is a set offical scientific number across the board. Whatever a region considers "abnormally hot" According to the NWS.. "What is a heat wave? A heat wave is a period of abnormally hot weather generally lasting more than two days. Heat waves can occur with or without high humidity..." I'd agree 3 days isn't that remarkable now. For the Park maybe a little bit. But EWR, LGA and other mid atlantic cities it's not a huge deal.

I was at Long Beach, LI on Sat and the sports watch I was wearing was saying 78 - 79 water temp. Felt remarkably warmer then a couple weeks before. Once we got into the persistent high humidity stretch with onshore flow they took off. They say saying we are nearing 40 - 50% of the world's ocean in marine heat wave status. FL been setting records with water temps well into the 90s, and 97 around the Keys. I've swam in upper 80s to just around 90, I can't imagine upper 90s water temps. Pushing 80 here before Aug and without the help of an intense heat wave is impressive.

92..high of 93. Doesn't feel so bad though with lower dews
-
Bring on the mid morning heat. 90 dew 72 feel like 98
-
Reached a surprising 95. Finally a day with no clouds from t storms in the area or smoke in the sky probably helps. Down to 85 now.
-
94/70 dp. Dew point was falling slowly, now back on the rise.
-
High of 91 here. Now a muggy 85/72. Occasional dark clouds in the distance but no rain.
-
People will come out if it's 30% chance of late afternoon to evening shower/tstorm. But when the forecast shows threat of rain all day from morning, it scare them away. Even if the chances aren't that high. Plus when it's clear there smoke days too smh The NWS point and click for me leads with "Heavy Rain." When you look close it shows 30 - 40% chance of rain all day long.
-
LGA has a decent shot of estsblishing a heat wave. But it seems the forecast is turning to more wideapread storms tomorrow so maybe not? Sitting at 89 here, feels like 94.
-
a little surprised...got to 89 today with some mid 90s heat index values. Another day of no rain despite continued threats scaring people away. looks like some drizzle now though.
-
All this rain talk for a warm and humid partly sunny day
-
Outdoor graduation party here for this afternoon, moved inside for now but still can't call if outside is doable. Went from rain likely to 30 - 50% tops chance of a shower. Gonna be some upset ppl if cramped inside and the sun is shining at 430pm. A lot of tough calls at a busy time of yr. Friday am outdoor graduation intended to get ahead of heavy rain ended up being a soaker
-
It hadn't been as sunny as I thought it'd be today. Hazy skies most the time. Is some smoke pushing back in or regular humid summer day haze/clouds? 79/dew 61. Still struggling to 80, forecasted 86 look tough.
-
Yeah, it is a little less thick but aqi is still upper 300s to mid 400s in around 5 boros. A lot of it isn't visible anyway.
-
Yeah it's crazy. Some parts here that have been remodeled with new modern construction and windows it's less but still there. The original parts of the bldg are smoke filled. It burns your eyes to stand there more than a few mins
-
Wait a volcano erupted in Hawaii now ?
-
Hudson Yards, where did you go?
-
It got worse than last night. Rapidly too. The smell and smoke is inside office buildings now. Pretty shocking how hazy it is, even indoors
-
It updated. NYC air quality is now the worst of major cities in the world. 193 aqi
-
Still rising too. Except some sort of mystery fresh air bubble over the Botanical Garden
-
AQI levels have jumped this evening even higher than mid day levels. Lots of 170+. Nearing 200 in NW NJ and Orange county.
-
Some pretty high readings, into the unhealthy for all category, not just sensitive groups.
