Looks like we will start another nice dry stretch after Friday, with a sunny weekend and dry and sunny for the start of the following week too
-
I think it's absolutely criminal that these places get to experience 100 degrees while we have not hit 100 since 2013-- the real drought is the lack of 100 degrees in the city and on Long Island.
-
ah so it's not as simple as reading the temperature off a thermometer? I figured seismographs worked in the same way.
-
I heard it's 200 million years old, it's been around since the heyday of the dinosaurs, Don!
-
I guess we can put down a T for April then
-
You probably exceeded 100 in 2011 too, JFK hit 103 in July 2011 (2 days in a row of 100+) and 102 in July 2010 (3 days out of 4 of 100+)
-
This is why we want W to NW for peak heat here in the summer. It makes us hotter than Manhattan.
-
Yes, the key is for it not to be wet for a couple of weeks around the time of peak heat. I think we could have hit 100 last year if the rains waited for August like in 2011. April and May and June were pretty dry from what I remember.
-
W to NW winds will stop that from happening
-
3 days out of 4 over 100 here in SW Nassau in July 2010. July 2011 was even hotter but the heat only lasted 2 days

1982 - An unprecedented April blizzard began in the northeastern U.S. One to two feet of snow fell across Massachusetts and Connecticut, and up to 26 inches was reported in Maine. New York City received a foot of snow. Winds reached 70 to 80 mph during the storm, and the storm also produced numerous thunderstorms, which contributed to the heavy snow. (Storm Data) and the anniversary of our latest blizzard of all time! anyone got pictures from this historic storm?
-
Tony-- this was the day in 1995 I remember where it felt like January-- sunny and windy and very cold! a high of 37 and a low of 23 if I remember correctly?
-
hmm he seems to think it'll be hotter and drier here
-
the worst possible kind of summer
-
forget that... give me 101 with a dewpoint of 60 any day over this humid polluted mess
-
Are they also predicting many TC tracks from NC to points north? and also predicting avg to below avg temps for the summer?
-
humidity doesn't save us, dry heat feels MUCH better than humid heat, even if it's 10 degrees "cooler" 101 with a dew point of 60 is much better than 91 with a dew point of 75 in 2010 JFK had 3 days out of 4 of 100+ and it felt so good, I went out running in it.
-
we were even close here on the south shore near JFK, it was three days out of four of 100+
-
I wouldn't say it's rough, I'd say it's absolutely glorious because westerly winds remove our main source of pollution-- which is water vapor.
-
We hit 108 on Long Island in 2011, one of our wettest years on record.
-
Is there any evidence from the geological record that this happened hundreds of years ago Don, maybe in PreColumbian times?
-
Can these even be considered to be accurate if they keep changing the numbers? 3.8 should just be considered 4.
-
It was 4.0-- I keep wondering about the accuracy of these measurements if they keep having to change them
-
sleet how? it was in the 40s....
-
But wasn't 2010 dry? and you can still have well over 100 degrees in a wet pattern-- 2011 is proof of this
