is this also the day of the month that has gotten the most rain? My dear Dad passed away on 5/14/2014 and I always remember it as the rainiest day and that entire spring/summer was extremely rainy.
-
but it's leaning on higher mins, so not really an inferno, more like a slow bake oven.
-
^Yes, meanwhile Kennedy and Long Beach were up around 80 mph. Higher than December 1992 but not anywhere near the amount of damage because December 1992 lasted for 3-5 days. They really need to name these long lasting historic noreasters, they cause more damage here than hurricanes do.

The northern Queens hailstorm I remember from the 90s had very small hailstones (hail pebbles?) but they fell for several hours and accumulated up to a foot, that's why snow plows were required.
-
Don't jinx yourself, one day you'll be hit by a megaicycryometeor!!
-
west Texas climate is much better with drier heat. My first step in geoengineering would be to get rid of the Gulf of Mexico. Or build a mountain range on the gulf coast to cut off all that humidity.
-
That must have been a north shore event. I know there was a hail event in northern Queens years ago that required plowing to remove.
-
I blame pesticides and fertilizers more than anything. Conventional farming practices need to be reformed. Toxic algae blooms cause massive problems in the summer.
-
so glad we're not getting any of that rain they are getting south of us, flash flood emergencies and entire school buses floating away! we've had more than enough rain.
-
wow earliest shark sighting on Long Island, a Great White was sighted near Montauk!!
-
well the sun will likely vaporize the entire planet but human induced climate change will be enough to cause a rapid increase in cloud cover. we won't be on this planet in 1 million years let alone 700 million
-
I'm thinking a lesser version of Venus will develop eventually, maybe even permanent cloud cover. With 70% of the surface covered in oceans, it's not even that much of a stretch. The permanent cloud cover will help even out the temperatures across the planet so that's a way of planetary self regulation too, not that we want that lol.

Our May and Junes used to be much hotter in the 50s and 60s, we hit 99 in May 1962 if I remember correctly and 100 in June 1953. Yes, this is all off the top of my head.... I remember numbers very well and I'm not old enough yet for my memory to be fading (knock on wood lol).
-
By the way this has come close to happening in the past. I present to you Summer 1966 and Summer 2011 Summer 1966 Newark 105 Central Park 103 LaGuardia 107 Kennedy 104 Note that in Summer 1966 Central Park was also cooler than Kennedy, was that also a foliage issue? Summer 2011 Newark 108 Central Park 104 Kennedy 103 (I don't remember the La Guardia high temperature from July 2011 off the top of my head.)
-
If thats what it takes to get JFK to 104-105, I'm fine with Newark hitting 110+
-
summer heat is a lot of fun because we get to go to the beach, there's plenty of water in the ocean to enjoy ;-) CC is actually setting a limit as to how hot our summers can get unfortunately. The sky is the limit with winter though-- at some point, we'll lose our seasons and there won't be a big difference between winter and summer, you're already seeing that with fall just becoming an extension of summer.
-
well it has to break sometime Chris, but note as I pointed out before, thee period have been getting longer since 1966.... I believe our extreme high temps are leveling off and flatlining, because the earth is self regulating our summertime high temps, we'll likely reach a ceiling and not get any higher than that. That number is higher for inland areas, but at whatever level, we'll all eventually reach a ceiling and temperatures won't get any higher than that.
-
JFK: 41 (2020) wild how cold 2020 still was so late in the season.
-
looks like Newark barely got there in 1983 but was the hottest summer at both NYC and JFK until 1991 and 1993 for NYC and 2010 for JFK.
-
places like JFK could still hit 100 degrees, you just need a direct westerly flow for a few days. We had this in 1977 in what was otherwise a not so hot summer. we also hit 100 degrees after la ninas (note 2011).
-
Yes, it was like 41-42 degrees here and it even looked like graupel here lol. What a raw miserable day that was!
-
Didn't we have sleet or snow or graupel on a Memorial Day weekend a few years ago? I forgot what year it was but before 2013 I think?
-
I wonder if it will be one of the 11 year cycle years. As you know we have had some of our hottest summers in 11 year cycles, 1933, 1944, 1955, 1966, 1977, 1988, 1999, 2010. We didn't get it in 2021 as expected, but as you mentioned 2022 would have fit this pattern too, so maybe it's not exactly 11 years but close? Of course 1993 doesn't fit this pattern either, but other factors might have been in play to make that summer very hot (like 1980, 1983 and 2002.) So the next time frame to look for that kind of ultrahot summer would be between 2032 and 2034.
-
75-80 with sunny skies and a light breeze would be quite perfect .
-
Don, when will the clouds move in make our skies overcast? No sun from tomorrow through Saturday?
