July 2025 Discussion-OBS - seasonable summer variability
LibertyBell replied to wdrag's topic in New York City Metro
Yes, those triple digit temperatures in June have been the most exciting weather we've had in years. That and that April 2024 earthquake (and the eclipse) and the northern lights last October. -

PD1 had a very sharp cut off didn't it-- how much snow did you get in it? I think we got over a foot but parts of the city got much less. I wanted to be alive to see the early 70s events, especially that ice storm! I've never experienced anything like January 1994 ever again do you think that's our rarest type of storm? July 1977 had the most extreme heatwave this area has ever seen, but how come JFK didn't hit 100? NYC did so three times and even 104 degrees (later tied in July 2011). -

So you lived in Long Beach in 1976-77 and 1977-78? You saw the epic February 1978 blizzard there then! I always thought the 14" JFK reported was way too low-- it was probably too hard to measure snow accurately with so much wind! Were the waterways around Long Beach completely frozen in 1976-77? It must have been a shock to the system when JFK recorded their earliest ever 90 degree day in April 1977!! -

Yes, 2010 was the only summer I have seen that JFK had 30+ 90 degree days 10+ 95 degree days and 3+ 100 degree days. NYC did it in 1993 too. Those were my two favorite summers.
