well it looks like they will now.... rip current warnings are issued in advance aren't they? -
But what causes the heat to get so far north and skip our latitude completely?
-
my all time summers hold up well here, 1949 stands out, as does 2001 and especially 1944. Some real roasters in the 40s and 50s.
-
Yes clear skies and some are saying tonight is the peak? I thought it was last night lol
-
They really should have and actually the beaches should be closed if there are no lifeguards there. The other person who died was a grandmother at Manhattan Beach in Brooklyn. In both cases it was after lifeguards left at 5 pm. They should either make the lifeguards work until 8 pm (sun set) or close the beaches at 5 pm when they leave. When that hurricane recurves the rip current problem will be even worse.
-
The weird thing is I distinctly remember in 1995 when we had a ton of recurving hurricanes (they could never get past the 70W barrier) and all it did was make it hotter here. August was historically hot and dry and we had so many wildfires that month.
-
Chris, was 1983 the only time that we had 95+ degree high temperatures in all four months (June, July, August, and September)? Maybe 2010 matched that year?
-
They're closing all the beaches at 5 because of the deaths caused by the rip currents from what I have heard.
-
what kind of wind was needed to get New Brunswick to 101 degrees but can't even hit 90 degrees here? The waters are much colder up there!
-
In the end, this summer will end up only slightly warmer than normal but it will be a fairly dry one.
-
that stupid sea breeze (which also makes rip currents worse and caused 2 deaths)
-
snow filled lol it sounds like they are describing a doughnut or something
-
That 82 last November on 11/1 was also pretty crazy, didn't JFK hit 80+ multiple times in the first week of November last year?
-
My absolute favorite was that 95 on 10/2/2019 (with a heat index of 100). So I think 100 in September is possible here one day, but those records from 1983 are still really hard to beat, that 98 in 1983 has been in place for over 4 decades now. 1983 was incredible for June, July, August and September all being WAY above normal and 100 degrees in both July and August!!!!
-
I remember them being super hot in the 90s too. I forget what year it was when I was driving through NJ but I recorded 106 degrees somewhere near Clifton. Could have been either 1991 or 1993 or 1995 or 1999 lol. The 90s were our hottest decade going by summer maxima/number of 90 degree days.
-
completely clear here Tony
-
we have a good record of matching all time hot summers 1944, 1948, 1949, 1953, 1955, 2001, 2002 They hit 100 back in June too didn't they? I saw they also hit 100 in 1955.
-
I just looked through these and even for Newark that 99 in September 1983 hasn't been matched. Didn't they exceed 100 like Central Park did in September 1953?
-
Yeah but a place like Newark is ALWAYS hot lol. I'm talking about the rest of the area, 7 90 degree days in September peaking at 99 in September 1983 is a record that's never been touched....unless you go back to 1953 when it was 100+ in September.
-
1944 was a historically hot 11 year cycle summer, we have yet to break many of the records set in 1944, I am in awe of that summer. Many of the above summers are part of the 11 year cycle: 1944, 2010, 1988, 1911, 2021, 1977
-
I slept from 10-2 and then got up to look for shooting stars from 2-5 and then slept again from 5-9 lol. I saw a handful of shooting stars.
-
wow Newark has even more than Philly....I've seen a tendency towards this in recent years, if we look back at historical summers like 1991 and 1993, EWR usually had around 10 more 90 degree days than NYC did and PHL usually had 5 more 90 degree days than EWR did back then.
-
be careful of rip currents, 4 people have died this week already
-
I think it could be like last fall, but don't see any fall record heat, as it's going to hard to beat 1983 when it comes to September heat.
-
would that make it hotter or would a recurving hurricane make it hotter here?
