Beginning in June a SW wind isn't all that cool here.... maybe for Fire Island, but a SW wind has a very short trajectory over water here and I've seen it hit 90 many times here on a SW wind in June and 100 on a SW wind in July.

But that doesn't improve SAD. You can also get Vitamin D from fish and milk, but the real benefit of the sun is improving mood.

JFK gets a bad rap, but it's hotter around here than it is in a park, we're in an urban area-- this isn't Fire Island lol.

I trust the temperatures near JFK a lot more than I trust either LGA or EWR. JFK temperatures are more natural and what I would expect to be normal for the area without human interference. LGA and EWR seem inflated..... I can personally speak to inflated temperatures near LGA because of congestion. My car thermometer records a 5-10 degree spike when I exit the Mid Town Tunnel and enter Queens and this spike lasts until I get on the Grand Central. It's more than UHI, it's the large number of people driving cars and all the car exhaust that artificially boosts temperatures in that region. We didn't have this kind of car congestion in the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, etc. It's why it stays higher at night around LGA too.

1993: Four inches of rain fell in one hour on Lenox, IA as the Great Mississippi Flood of 1993 was beginning. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History) and one of our greatest summers of all time !! JFK: 95 (1983) looks like the great summer of 1983 began around this time too

hopefully that stuff stays to our north and west like it did in 1993 and 1995. ring of fire is what I associate with extreme heat (hence the term fire lol).

doesn't a ring of fire mean extreme heat here? those thunderstorms go to our north normally.

it hit 80 here at noon before the temperature dropped

I wouldn't say that, this could be one of the cooler rainier summers. I only turn on the a/c for a few hours late in the afternoon.

Yesterday is a prime example of JFK being hotter than ISP too, they average more 90 degree days than ISP does. It hit 80 here around noon before the clouds came back. We need more days like yesterday.

Yep, this is a repeating pattern, the heat will return beginning next Wednesday with Thursday being peak heat again. It might be a carbon copy of today lol.

you want the Mets game to be rained out?

It's good to see JFK hotter than both, it dispels the rumors that this area is somehow *cool* in the summer. And JFK was actually slightly cooler than SW Nassau, we were well into the 90s here.

Yay JFK hit 90 and beat NYC by 3 degrees !!! I love it when this happens, it's like the Yankees beating the Mets lol.

Now that we've reached the highs for the day and temperatures are starting to drop (the high here was at 4:30 pm when it hit 92 here), here are the high temperatures for the day around the immediate region. https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KNYMALVE20 95.5 https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KNYROCKV16 90.9 https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KNYVALLE55 97.5 https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KNYMALVE17 90.0 https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KNYVALLE54 90.0 https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KNYNEWYO2050 96.1 https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KNYNEWYO1657 93.6 https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KNYVALLE55 97.5 https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KNYWOODM4 91.9 https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KNYWOODM8 93.0 https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KNYVALLE15 91.9 https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KNYINWOO1 90.5 https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KNYEASTR35 92.1 https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KNYNEWYO2118 93.6 https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KNYNEWYO1710 93.9 https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KNYNEWYO1274 93.4

Monday looks rainy now

the party ends after today, the clouds move in tonight, rain Saturday, dry Sunday and Monday but cloudy. So four days of mostly cloudy skies like Tony said, after today the next meaningful sunshine will be next Tuesday.

Yep, I'm not used to the temperatures peaking after 4 pm, it's still been rising here lol. I'm used to the highest temperature being around 2 pm and temperatures falling off around 4 pm.

zero sea breeze, it's been awhile since the temperatures peaked here after 4 pm on a day that was completely sunny

Yup they keep going up and up lol.

But they're hotter than Orlando which is even further inland and to the south.
