I want to see if we can get JFK to 20 90 degree days this year, there's only a select few years when that's happened.

this is normal climo, when June 20 to the end of July is very hot, August tends to be less hot.

perfect weather, the high range is a characteristic of low humidity / dew point

1993 and 2010 are at the head of the pack.

those trees are no longer suitable in this new climate my question is why are the effects so different in different places, they've become hot and dry while we've become warm and wet? But I do think this also runs in cycles and will switch up, this was the first summer in which we hit 100 plus everywhere (that matters). I think we're at the start of a new drier cycle with more classic summers with offshore flow like 1993 and 2010 to follow. This summer was the first warning shot for what's to follow. I remember saying this last winter and even last fall during our historically dry October at the start of the westerly flow outbreak too. It's a characteristic of the switch to a -AMO. Fewer east coast TC drier and somewhat colder winters and hotter and drier summers

just missed it by 1 degree

The high was 89 here at 3 pm before the sea breeze came in and it never felt even remotely hot.

it reached 88 here, a good day aside from the off color sky lol

But why is it happening every year now Roger? Are there chemicals they could spray over the forest from a plane to cause fire suppression?

was the streak of 42 consecutive days of 100+ also broken Don?

did the carpenter ants help clean up the big mess??

Stronger here on the south shore over 80 mph with major tree damage in the Rockaways

that was the most wild and windiest tropical system here since Sandy Most of Sandy occurred at night while Isaias was during the day. Major tree damage in the Rockaways with winds over 80 mph.

1980 - A record forty-two consecutive days of 100 degree heat finally came to an end at the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport. July 1980 proved to be the hottest month of record with a mean temperature of 92 degrees. There was just one day of rain in July, and there was no measurable rain in August. There were 18 more days of 100 degree heat in August, and four in September. Hot weather that summer contributed to the deaths of 1200 people nationally, and losses from the heat across the country were estimated at twenty billion dollars. (David Ludlum) (The Weather Channel) epic endless heat in 1980 1995: Thunderstorms over northwest Iowa storms grew quickly, producing golf ball to baseball size hail over Palo Alto County near Ayrshire and Webb. As the storms moved south, a copious amount of hail was dropped. Just north of Rush Lake in Palo Alto County, pea-sized hail covered the ground to a depth of 12 inches. The storms then moved into northern Pocahontas County where they dropped softball size hail, which has a diameter of 4.50 inches, just north of Laurens. Golf ball size hail also continued to fall over Pocahontas County near the communities of Pocahontas and Havelock. The storms weakened a bit as they moved into Sac and Calhoun Counties. Crop damage totaled about $335,000 from these storms. Record heat prevailed across parts of the East. Record highs included: Philadelphia, PA: 98°, LaGuardia Airport (NYC), NY: 96°, Wilmington, DE: 96° and Bridgeport, CT: 93°. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History) 1995 hot and dry August was just beginning here Highs: EWR: 100 (1993) NYC: 100 (1944) LGA: 99 (1944) JFK: 93 (2006) epic endless heat in 1993 and 1944 too

Cant they do air drops like we do in California with fire retardant? Or maybe they just don't have the funds to do what we do to stop forest fires? At some point this will have to be dealt with permanently, even if that means chopping down the trees. Canada has a large logging industry, they could take care of this. We can't just sit back and do nothing, this is a permanent problem and won't go away next year or in 5 years or in a decade. And there is a huge health risk with this air pollutant, Chicago is the 7th most polluted city on the planet right now because of it.

Excellent, I am glad it finished at 80.0 as opposed to the tainted July average which was infected with what happened on the evening of the 31st (I don't agree with the new *day* beginning at midnight.)

Chris what was JFK's average temperature from June 20 to the end of July?

Yep, I don't think they even stopped during the winter. Is there a multiyear drought going on in Canada?

a lovely vision Don, do you have your own boat?

None in August, Tony?

The earliest one on record until 2025.....

the 4 in 1993 I think all happened in a row (two in a row of 100+ too).

I'm shocked that 1963 is number two, that didn't even register to me as a hot summer, were there any 100 degree days that year Tony?

Probably. I think the intentional or accidental human fire starting happens in California more than it does in Canada. Remember the Camp Fire-- I think that one happened because someone shot off fireworks during a gender reveal party. Why do we even need gender reveal parties? Male/Female big deal.....

I wish this weather would last through the Perseid meteor shower, moon or no moon (there was a beautiful half moon last night).
