I want to see JFK beat NYC
-
Food in France and Italy is much better but that's a different story, they don't use the crap artificial ingredients we use and are also healthier overall.
-
and let's not dismiss the corruption of the aptly named *Con* Edison, these companies need to be closely regulated and monitored and prosecuted as soon as they go off the rails, as that company has done throughout its sordid history.
-
it's also cloudy now
-
You're completely dismissing the inherent corruption and greed of these corporations that need to be directly regulated and overseen by the state. we need state ownership of power companies pure and simple. *Con* Edison and the failed Lilco have shown that these companies can't be trusted.

In the record books there are several examples of record hot streaks that haven't been matched since, I just listed the two most glaring examples. 1955 had the most 95+ days. 1949 had 5 days of 99 degrees or higher. 1948 had three days of 100 degrees or higher even at JFK. There is something unique about this period that hasn't been matched since. 2010 was absolutely amazing and set the JFK records for several categories but didn't have a super heatwave like that. It looks like 2002 was the last time we had one of those.

Walt, this is going to be a level 4 Geomagnetic storm, I read that aurorae viewing is possible down to the Carolinas and Alabama. Even if you can't see them you can still capture them with your camera.
-
Con Edison with a heavy emphasis on the *Con* part, this is a corrupt company and have been prosecuted as such.
-
I can't imagine getting that kind of heat, not even now, 42 years later, when our climate is warmer. Maybe September 2010 was the closest we've come to a repeat, although even that fell short of what happened in September 1983.
-
Chris, it might be more important that 1983 had a developing La Nina, look at those record setting 7 days of 90+ in September 1983 including a mindbending 99 degrees on 9/11/1983 our latest 99 on record. I also believe that September had our latest 95+ temperature, a 96 on September 22 (the first day of fall)?
-
AND some are solidly below normal (like NYC and LGA).
-
whats causing it to move north when the winds are coming from the NW?
-
1966 0 0 10 14 8 1 0 33 I'm surprised to see 1966 on this list that was a very hot summer.
-
It's more than just onshore flow though Chris, a lot of our heat records go back to the 1940s, 1950s, etc. It seems like it's not just added rainfall and onshore flow, but something else which has limited the extent of our heatwaves and extreme heat. We just do not get 7+ days of heat consecutively anymore and particularly not long lengths of 95+ heat like we did back in 1944 and 1953.
-
you would have loved it here in the late 80s and early 90s.
-
That's what I remember Don, what day was it on in 2023, before the 10th?
-
it was mostly sunny here until around 4:30 with temperatures peaking in the low 70s, it's become mostly cloudy now.
-
it's not that unusual to get temperatures in the upper 40s into early June is it Don.... I remember it happened a few years ago even in the city?
-
Most of it is headed to our south, which was the original forecast. Mostly sunny here.
-
I find it interesting how the hotter Mays cluster together.

https://www.life.com/history/heat-wave-photos-1950s/#:~:text=The summer of 1953 in,12 days in a row. The summer of 1953 in New York City was torturous. The temperature was in the 90s (or higher) every day between July 15 and 21, and again between Aug. 24 and Sept. 4 a record-setting 12 days in a row. And that’s not even accounting for other 90-plus days in between. Keep in mind that air-conditioning was far from widespread. Though the technology has been around since the early 20th century, it was then used primarily in movie theaters and other public spaces.

https://www.accuweather.com/en/space-news/aurora-alert-northern-lights-to-glow-over-us-sunday-night/1780372 The biggest display of the northern lights since 2024 could unfold at the end of the weekend and start of the new week following a massive eruption on the sun. On Friday evening, satellites detected an explosive solar flare on the sun. This sent a tremendous cloud of charged particles toward the Earth, and when it arrives, it will set off an expansive display of the aurora. The northern lights could glow as early as Sunday night, with the potential for another showing on Monday night -- and people in more than half of the United States could see the Aurora Borealis. "The aurora may become visible over much of the northern half of the country, and maybe as far south as Alabama to Northern California," NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center said. The impending solar storm is predicted to be a level 4 out of 5.

I find it really interesting that 1983 led to one of our hottest summers (as did 1991 which had the highest number of 90 degree days) and 1996 which had one of our highest May high temperatures did not see 90 again until the last day of August lol. And May 2018 heat came after a historically stormy and cold March and early April with lots of snow-- very different from the lead up to May 1991.
-
so the last time you had a lower high than this was in 2005 and the only time your highest temperature in May didn't reach 80 was in 2003.
-
certainly no repeat of 1944, 1953, 1955, 1966, 1991, 1993, 1999, or 2002 coming anytime soon Don!
