all these rainy Julys and Augusts are why we haven't seen a 10 day heatwave in over 20 years -
it happened more often further back in time, long heatwaves happen much less often now
-
1953 12 days 1999 11 days 1993 10 days
-
I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a few 90s in September but it would be really hard to do in October, even last October when we didn't get any rainfall at all we didn't see any 90 degree temperatures. Obviously it can happen though, October 2, 2019 it hit 95 here with a heat index of 100.
-
wow thanks Don, and July is right behind August, which is a little bit of a surprise since July really isn't a month for tropical weather. Maybe these extreme rainfall months are the main reason we don't see very long duration heatwaves and triple digit temperatures as often as we used to.
-
I think it might have been something that began more recently, with our more active tropical seasons since after 1995, Don. Do you have the numbers on August of the last 20 years or so?
-
so the heat is gone after next weekend?
-
Hurricane Bob 1991 redux..... (same time of the month too)
-
absolutely incredible late August heat and for once NYC beat EWR lol
-
our Augusts have become much wetter, people talk about which months are warming the quickest (it's in the winter), but I'd surmise that August is the month that is becoming more wet at a faster rate than any other month.

Hey neighbor, I used to photograph seagulls in the early days just to get some practice on BIF (birds in flight), but now I just consider them a nuisance. We have some Great Blue Herons here, have you seen them? Snowy Egrets? Cooper's Hawks? Red Tailed Hawks? Have you seen our parrots?
-
It looks like a Hugo type pattern, not a pattern for a landfall up here.
-
it's actually too strong for heat for us.
-
I'd much rather see the Perseid meteor shower, the rain can wait until after the 14th.
-
I hate onshore flow and the high humidity that comes from it. How did we get the big heat at the end of August in 1948?? It's absolutely amazing that Central Park had three straight days over 100 at the end of August in 1948 and JFK had two straight!! That extreme heat was close to the beginning of met fall!!
-
Nice weather station, but most of all, I'm loving these deep blue skies !! No more air pollution !!
-
NYC came extremely close to having three days of 100+ which is outrageous in this era of foliage blockage and the fact that this happened in August, not July. It still did not match August 1948's three straight days of 100+ but this was the closest we've gotten to since then for three straight 100+ days at NYC in August. Tony could you post the 100+ days in August 1948 at all of these locations please-- I think this was the first month that the sensor at JFK came into operation.
-
what I find ironic is that JFK's 99 was actually on the day prior to the hottest day in the other locations. LGA and EWR set the monthly records with their 104 and 105 and NYC was only one degree off with their 103.
-
Thanks Tony!! Wow, the skies are so deep blue, I could live with this weather forever. Screw summer, screw winter, just have this weather 24/7/365 lol
-
wow this has to be the greatest August heatwave that I lived through, do you have the same list for NYC and JFK too? I think they came close to 100 on more than one day too.
-
I wish we had this for the Perseid meteor shower next week (and no interference from the moon).
-
1944 had 3 100+ days at both NYC and EWR, 1948 had three in a row at both NYC and EWR and 2 in a row at JFK, I think that might have been our most extreme August heat, although 1953 definitely needs to be mentioned as having our longest heatwave on record.
-
Tony, how hot was the August 2001 heatwave at both EWR and NYC, did we come close to having three straight days of 100+? I know JFK never made it to 100 in 2001 but they hit 98 on one day and 99 the next day I think? I was looking for your 8-7-2001 historic records post but could not find it.
-
No those southerly winds are much worse, if we get a westerly wind we will get nice 100 degree dry heat, which is much better than 75 degree dew points
-
actually that's not true Chris, on August 7, 1918 Newark hit 105 and NYC hit 104 August 2001 gets honorable mention for hitting 103. We have a long way to go to match the kinds of heatwaves we had back then.
