I doubt it will be as hot as 2011 was, you don't see that kind of heat in June. If it touches 100 like 2012 and 2013 that alone would be historic, but 2011 was 103-108 which is out of range for what's possible in June.
-
the humidity will be under 50 percent
-
you people whine too much, millions of people live under 120 degree temperatures. 2 foot snowstorms kill more people than what passes for *heat* here
-
this is absolutely awesome and would completely nuke any and all moisture here
-
I would gladly give you electroshock therapy and love the smell of your last few brain cells burning to a crisp, shall we begin?
-
5 people have died in WV from the flooding
-
what is causing this flow to last for so many days near the solar peak of the year? you'd think the sun is powerful enough this time of the year to burn off any and all clouds.
-
more 90 degree days but less 95+ and no 100+?
-
it's the best way to neutralize the bad weather outside, it feels like summer in my house
-
Yes, it neutralizes the horrible weather outside. it actually feels sunny inside my house
-
did we have a la nina state in the 44-55 period too?
-
why cant we get that here?
-
it's wild that the rainiest day of the entire month had a high of 99. It would have been over 100 if not for that rain lol.
-
Looks like EWR also had an 8 day streak of 95+, was that their longest? Maybe not, as July 1993 was hotter there, 5 consecutive days of 100+
-
wild, 4 100+ days in just the first 13 days of the month lol By the way, it looks like it's going to be cloudy on Wednesday and more rain on Thursday? Looks like we won't see sunny weather until Friday? In a way it's a good thing as it will reset the pattern back to sunny weekends.

Thanks, 1944 really stands out wow, I wonder what was going on that summer to cause such intense prolonged heat (outside of that 11 year sunspot cycle lol.) 1944 must've been the hottest summer on record up to that point, I can't see any previous summer going back to the 1860s being as hot as 1944 was. 1896 did have that historic 10 day heatwave, but it didn't reach 100 degrees during that stretch.
-
It's interesting that JFK and LGA had almost the same number of 95+ days in 2010, what was NYC's count Chris?
-
Yes and here too, we had 11 of those days. The station maximum was set in 2011 though when they reached 108, the same as Newark on the same day?
-
What did the 8 in the other table indicate Chris? There is something in the other table that says 8 for 1955, 4 for 2010 and 2 for 2016 and 2024-- was that number of 100+ days? If so that would mean that Hightstown had 8 days of 100+ in 1955? WOW!
-
Not having lived during the 50s, Newark matches my experience of 1993 and 2010 being my two hottest summers during the time I've been alive. It's curious EWR is so much closer to my experience than LGA is lol.
-
Tony what was the high on August 16, did it stay in the 90s?
-
meh that 102 peak and 8 straight days of 95+ from 1944 really stands out, when you compute the average highs of both how do they compare? Incidentally both 1944 and 1988 are part of the 11 year solar cycle (as were 1955, 1966, 1977, 1999, 2010).
-
But what if it's a 12 year cycle from the 1944-1955 period that repeated during the 1991-2002 period, do you think the circulation pattern itself could be cyclic and if so, when it happens again the extreme heat will be even hotter than it was back then?
-
Incidentally where is Hightstown Chris? I had never heard of this town until you started posting this but they seem to have a treasure trove of data going back to the 1940s, including some of the best historically hot summers like 1955 which leads the pack with 8 days of 95+ on that list!
-
wow I wish I was alive then, this must have been absolutely amazing-- look at that 96 high on August 16 with 0.88 of rain, who said it can't get hot and rain a lot at the same time ;-)
