Yea one of my friends growing up told me it landed right near his house (he lived on Rockaway Turnpike.)

it's good to see, the lower the dew point the faster the temperature will rise, I hope it gets down into the mid 60s by noon.

The earliest time I ever remember JFK hitting 90 was at 8:30 AM and that was during the peak of the July 1993 heatwave, I'm estimating that it happened at 8:30 am that day because the hourlies showed 88 at 8 AM and 92 at 9 AM, it was rising 4 degrees every hour until hit 100 between 12 and 1 PM The high was 102 here that day but *only* 100 at JFK (after it hit 101 at JFK the day before) because the sea breeze came in after 1 PM, but it happened after it had already hit triple digits. Incidentally that day was the first time I ever recorded 100 degrees at my location.

Getting ready to make history today!

EWR: 97 (1966)NYC: 96 (1888)LGA: 96 (2013)JFK: 97 (2010) Wild how hot EWR and JFK and LGA already were in 1966 and 2010 and 2013 around this time and it only got hotter in July. Wow, did this plane on a road near here? 1975: An Eastern Airlines Boeing 727 crashed at JFK airport in New York City. 113 of the 124 people on board the aircraft died. Researcher Theodore Fujita studied the incident and discovered that the crash was caused by a microburst. His research lead to improved air safety. The tower never experienced the microburst, which was held back by a seabreeze front. The plane crashed 2,400 feet short of the runway. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)

JFK has already reached 90 it's the earliest I can remember that happening. If we have a strong NW flow then there won't be any seabreeze before 4 pm, that's what I'm hoping for.

what was going on in July 2011 that allowed JFK to hit 103 on a wind from the due South lol https://www.wunderground.com/history/daily/us/ny/new-york-city/KJFK/date/2011-7-22 11:51 AM 101 °F 73 °F 41 % WSW 10 mph 0 mph 29.82 in 0.0 in Partly Cloudy 12:51 PM 99 °F 74 °F 45 % SSW 13 mph 0 mph 29.81 in 0.0 in Mostly Cloudy 1:51 PM 102 °F 74 °F 41 % SW 15 mph 0 mph 29.81 in 0.0 in Mostly Cloudy 2:51 PM 101 °F 74 °F 42 % S 15 mph 0 mph 29.80 in 0.0 in Fair 3:51 PM 96 °F 75 °F 51 % SSW 14 mph 0 mph 29.80 in 0.0 in Partly Cloudy 4:51 PM 95 °F 75 °F 52 % SSW 20 mph 25 mph 29.81 in 0.0 in Partly Cloudy https://www.wunderground.com/history/daily/us/ny/woodmere/KJFK By the way JFK has hit 90 at 7:51 AM !!!

Yes I'm hoping for here. Long Beach can stay in the 80s as they aren't really part of long island (it's a barrier island like Fire Island and Jones Beach are.) As a matter of fact, those barrier islands serve a useful purpose as they keep the sea breeze away from long island proper on days like today.

it's part of the reason the park is usually cooler, although they were hotter than LGA yesterday

it reminds me of the rain/snow line in the winter, it's the same processes in play too.

I think yesterday was worse because of higher dew points. It feels very cool this morning.

lower dew points which means it should heat up much faster today and for longer

Back to back days of 101 at Plattsburgh in 1975? That must have been one hot stretch-- maybe they'll match that again today?

Andover had 0.55 inches of rain on the same day they hit 98?

For Bridgeport? wow

July 2011

where do you see it in tabular format and can the data be downloaded and put into a spreadsheet? also why dont they show wind direction?

One day vehicles will be able to be charged on the go from the frictional energy of driving.

I am very optimistic here for 100 near JFK today

84 here after a low of 77

It might actually mean you can heat up more quickly if the dew point is lower.

That would suck, I was hoping for a 1966 like pattern when it happened in both June and July. The June 101 turned out to just be an appetizer for what happened in July.

Yes it was nice, I started at around 77 lol. It quickly got into the 80s though, right now it's 84 here already.

Having a house near there I find it extremely unlikely that 103 is even possible there. Unless being over 2000 feet in elevation makes them closer to the sun? It rarely ever even hits 90 there....

68 degree water temperature but it doesn't matter here, we can hit 100 degrees before 1 pm and this heat is extremely deep, it can easily overpower the ocean. After 2 pm it doesn't matter since triple digits will already have been reached.
