1961 was also very hot wow, 9 and 8 90+ highs at EWR and NYC respectively. Wait, Don, how did EWR have an average high of 88.0 in September 1891? That looks obscenely high and MUCH higher than everyone else lol. UHI in 1891? What does that month look like for highs/lows at EWR? How was it so much hotter there in September 1891 than NYC was?

Yes, it's similar to how May was in 1991, both had a high number of 90 degree days. September 1983 really tailed off after the 21st though and got colder in a hurry after the equinox. Led to a very cold and dry la nina winter in 1983-84.

the sun is out it's been bright and sunny for a few hours here now

wow even Philly hasn't hit 100 in a long time, they didn't hit 100 in June did they?

we've actually had a real fall this year!

Yes, for three years now, but even if I wasn't what the French do is absolutely cruel. Many of our major cities have banned foie gras.

Colder Septembers and Octobers -- the only people who like those are the energy companies who make money off of cold weather. The good thing about warmer falls is, it means less money for the fossil fuel cartels too lol.

Humanity will continue to exist (fortunately or unfortunately), we'll all just live in an Africa like climate (which is where humanity originated after all.) I'll make the devil's advocate argument here (because I can) global cooling is MUCH more dangerous than global warming and cooling episodes have historically killed many more people and caused starvation via crop failures. There is no boiling frog and by the way I find that phrase offensive since I am 100% against the killing of animals and animal cruelty in general. It's why I hate the French so much (they boil frogs and explode the stomachs of ducks to make foie gras.)

See Chris, this is the difference between warm and hot. September 1983 was objectively and unequivocally the hottest September on record, but when you factor in minimum temperatures and not actual hot weather (above 90 degree heat), these other Septembers are warmer (but not as hot.)

Most of us finished neutral, inland it was warmer. ISP too for some reason as well as HVN.

and the summer birds have departed early

Bob in 1991 came very close to making landfall at MTP and would have had more of an impact than Gloria did. Based on news reports at the time, I distinctly remember Gloria made landfall in Western Suffolk County, not near JFK airport. It didn't matter though because the eye was extremely large and covered all of us and there was no backside except for some gusty winds and partly cloudy skies.

Thanks Don, it looks like September 1983 started to cool off around the 22nd, just in time for Fall

Oh I thought you got it from Microcenter lol, where did you get it from?

Hartford: 1.72"Islip: 0.30"New Haven: 1.34"New York City-Central Park: 0.35"New York City-JFK Airport: 1.38"New York City-LaGuardia Airport: 0.33"Newark: 0.17"Storrs: 2.76"White Plains: 0.47" Don are you sure JFK got so much rain? I saw a report of around 0.58 from that area.

where is September 1983 on this list, Don? It was continuously hot!

you should have your landscape lights set to automatically turn on when the sun goes down.

did you get your new pc yet? what are its specs and how much was it?

ehhhh maybe you mean mid October? usually we're still up around 90 in mid September LOL

85 here too

85 here for the second time since September 20 Tony!!

it was one of our warmest days of the month, made it to 85 here for the second time since September 20th lol

Yes why are people talking about an October torch when it's supposed to turn chilly as soon as October starts?

1950 - Residents of the northeastern U.S. observed a blue sun and a blue moon, caused by forest fires in British Columbia. (David Ludlum) a blue sun? I would love to have seen that! about hurricane Gloria in 1985 didn't that storm peak at Cat 5? 1985: Hurricane Gloria weakened briefly while moving from northeast of the Bahamas to just off the southern North Carolina coast by days end. Gloria peaked the previous day with maximum sustained winds of 145 mph and a minimum central pressure of 920 millibars or 27.17 inches of mercury. Gloria weakened during this date to 90 mph at 06z and 12z before regaining strength intensifying to 100 mph by days end. Washington, DC area was lucky as hurricane Gloria stays well east of Washington, DC. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)

on air mets said the *improvements* happened because we got more sunshine than expected this afternoon lol
