Saturday is the first time I ever saw the Euro forecast an 86 dewpoint in the Northeast region. The Euro shows numerous days coming up with potential dewpoints of 80 or greater. It looks like a combination of the recent multi-year historic dewpoint spike, record soil moisture over portions of the US, and the tropical moisture surge around and after Barry.

 

 

Saturday may be the hottest HI day in decades. 100/80? Jesus.

Next 8 days averaging 83.5degs., or 7degs. AN.

Month to date is  +2.8[79.0].       Should be  +4.2[80.5], by the 24th.

GFS Meteogram still in a love affair with the 90's-----13 out of the next 16 days, with 3 100's for good measure.   Yes we get a cooldown in 9 days, but it won't last.

76.4* here at 6am.   77.4* by 8am.

These stats are useless. Yesterday the Park was 85, coolest in the entire metro area. So the 2.8 is not representative of true departure.

Ended up with a high of 86.3 for today.

86.3 here as well

This was more in comparison to during the week when winds were light onshore and water temps were In the mid 70s. They were mid 60s yesterday at Jones Beach. I doubt there was much variability between jones and cedar. You must just like chilly water!

Interesting. I don't usually like cold water at all. Maybe it was just so hot i didnt mind it. It was brutal

The amazing thing, yesterday near shore waters were down right frigid with relatively strong west winds. So some of our warmest beach days have that cold dark upwelled water.

What do you think the chances are of us actually having a good soaking this week? We are officially drying out on the south shore  

i was a cedar and the waters didnt seem cold at all. Maybe compared to the hot air it felt cold to you with the contrast in temps?

The 90s should be ineluctable this coming week here. We've had a few unlucky breaks with hitting 90 locally so far, between clouds and other issues.

A pleasant 60.1F this morning after 89F yesterday, and 78F now. Nice diurnal swings. 

You always compare yourself to Trenton right? They have 6 90 degree days this year. Odd that you have 1, less than any site in the area. Maybe a siting issue?

Long Island is already having one of its warmest Julys before the major heat arrives. Islip is currently in 4th place. We are the warmest part of the region relative to the means with ISP at +4.4.

Wow. Record may be broken. Mean Avg temp for July here is 77, cooler than ISP. Although wunderground now only calculates to the nearest whole number, so i cant see the decimals.

74.2 here on the N Shore currently, I’ll probably finish around 85 or so for the day. If N wind is strong enough S Shore could over-perform, otherwise inland has best shot of being above forecasted highs IMO. 

You are 74? That's cooler than any site in the metro area lol. Do you put the sprinklers on in the morning? Your PWs looked to be on the grass/flower bed, so i assume you irrigate. 

80 here

Even Long Island can make a run on 100 degrees by next weekend if the W to NW flow develops as forecast. The Euro only had a forecast high of 89 yesterday on Long Island. It was 5 degrees to cool with the warm offshore flow.

 

Ooof. Wife has a tough mudder race on Saturday. Looks way too hot for that. Block Island the only place to go for relief...

I believe that's the highest reading of the summer anywhere in the metro area

That will change next week. EWR will crack 95 while Islip doesn’t touch 94 again

4th 90 degree day for me today with a high of 89.9.

Always cool when Suffolk is the hottest county in the metro area. 90s county wide.

Couple miles west of you at Tobay. Mmmmm Summer. 

Nice. Felt like being on a desert. Roasted out there. Water finally warmed up and felt great to swim

Westhampton is the big offshore flow heat leader so far at 93.

Westhampton    FAIR      93  63  36 W16  

Wow. At Cedar Beach now, east of Jones Beach, and it’s a scorcher. Hit 92 at home and at ISP.

so ISP and FOK have higher temps than the city terminals so far this summer 

87

Lots of fireflies this year. Pretty cool!

Finished with 88 (87.5) for the high myself.

Nw flow day makes sense 

Rare day when JFK and ISP are the only 2 sites to hit 90 for the day...

89/71. Hit 90 for the first time this month.

Only 89 here today, you win with the a west wind, warmer SE. 

88 here now, was 89 earlier. 

I see the park is at 82, 3 below the next coolest reading in the area...complete joke and predictable after the rain. Even FOK is 87 FFS

go touch a cement wall that was exposed to Sun light just after the sun sets...it is significantly warmer than the air temp...it's like an open oven...

True, and like it or not, a large portion of NYC is covered in cement. So, climate records should reflect the changed landscape, and not strive to replicate what the city resembled in the 1800s

When scientists measure out temps from 100s of years ago (tree rings, etc), the way the central park data is currently is probably more representative to how the vast majority of the planet was (overgrown and not de-forested) .  Do we add 2-3 degrees from past temps to match how we measure temps now? 

The world is increasingly covered in concrete and less covered in forest. This should be included in the documented temp rise, notwithstanding AGW. Yes, NY temp used to be measured in a more rural area, but the city is less rural, causing temps to rise. Whether its AGW or UHI it doesnt matter in reality, the temp has increased.

The discussion is always generated by the same individual who has an insatiable desire to be right 100 percent of the time. 

And the 15 of you take the bait every time. Anytime he mentions dews, 15 people post going crazy. Just an outsider browsing from time to time.

Who is more childish, the one person who makes a passing comment on dews, or the 15 people who can't ignore the comment, and instead, spend 2 hours bashing one person. It's bizarre.

89 is my max so far, same as yesterday.

Currently I have four 89’s and three 90+’s.

I’ll be starting a petition to lower the heat wave threshold from 90 to 89.

It’s funny how wind direction affects temps out here. I was 89 yesterday too, and some days you are hotter than my location.
