Yes indeed this was the other 90+ day I remember from October. The even more extreme one was October 2, 2019 when it hit 95-96 here with a HI of 100 lol

The odd thing is the first week of October has been warmer, I know of at least two occasions in my life when I experienced 90+ in October. And even 95 a few years ago. Warmer over several days but nothing too extreme. 80+ is what we got last year in November too (and as late as November 15 in 1993.)

2001-02 really stands out for this Don

I thought it would be the one in 1895 when NYC had 3 straight days of 95+, was that 20-22 Don?

1892: Central Park in New York City, NY concluded its wettest month ever with 16.85 inches of rain. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History) what caused so much rain Tony?

This is for the entire month? Wow, around here it's 1.5-2.5, in the Poconos it's the same thing. That JFK high total is VERY suspicious.

nice to get the full sun this afternoon

This is weird even without any extreme heat it's the warmest week-- because of the elevated mins? I'd expect at least one or more heatwaves have occurred in the history of NYC in the last week of September.

Yes I'm still using my a/c through October. This is very different from the 80s when I usually turned the heat on in the first week of October I have to admit this weather feels much better.

I've heard that towns that were just east of the eye fared the worst in Gloria, so probably places from Bay Shore out to the Hamptons had a lot of trees down. West side of the storm got the most rain, over 5.5 inches in NYC.

The gradation is even finer than that. Many times the sea breeze never makes it north of the barrier islands and the south shore is the hottest place. This is what happened in late June.

lol this summer we were 100+ even on a seabreeze.

the sun came out here for a bit too but it hit 81 here even when it was cloudy.

I did lol, in the main thread. I disputed that it made landfall in Nassau County. The landfall point was between Babylon and Bay Shore although it didn't matter because the eye was so wide and it had no backside, just some wind gusts and partly cloudy skies.

You could also say it will be a lot like last October was.

no it definitely hit 80 today, it was 80 here even when it was cloudy. High of 81

it would now be called cold and dry

Yes, the people we call *Native Americans* and who used to be called *Indians* actually came from SE Asia, likely Indochina (Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia). The interesting thing about the Pacific and this colder denser water, it can hold more oxygen and nutrients and must be vital to fish and other sea life. So warming of the oceans disrupts the entire marine life cycle and eventually us also. We're disrupting the entire planetary life cycle which will lead to a global mass extinction. Humans won't go extinct but there will certainly be more famine, starvation, etc.

1989-1990 was very extreme we went from record cold and widespread severe weather for Fall into early winter (December) and then historic warmth for January, February and March.

well the sun is out now so we'll make a run at 80

Snow in Spring is wonderful, it's when it's in the 40s and raining that sucks lol.

To be fair, last Fall was warmer than this but the Winter was quite cold, we just didn't get the precipitation timed quite right.

and the Atlantic is also smaller than the Pacific so melting polar ice would have more of an effect on the Atlantic I would guess.

Tony, we're going to have limited sunshine the next few days. Yesterday was the last of the sunny days until the colder weather comes in later in the week.

It's not bad, better to have warmth now than in winter.
