I'm hoping its effects will be blunted. Just remember it won't be a repeat of June 2023.
-
Thanks, I hope we get there one day with better food and a healthier society. People talk about the high healthcare costs here -- some of it is greed and some of it is because of what we eat.
-
unlike June 2023
-
How much light does it block though? We can still see the stars through haze and smoke as long as it's not completely obnoxious like what we had in June 2023.
-
Geomag storm level 4 viewable down to the Carolinas and Alabama
-
Tony, so last year NYC did not have a foliage problem.... both NYC and LGA had the same number (21) of 90+ days?
-
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.
