Higher humidity levels are also influenced by farming practices. What I've read about the midwest is that the evapotranspiration rates are much higher now because of so many of these large fields full of corn, it was documented to have a large impact in very extreme summers like the summer of 1995. Around here you need a westerly wind to hit triple digits, the ocean influence is too much with southerly and even southwesterly winds.

This is absolutely amazing,thanks so much Chris, it looks like Mineola is neck and neck with Newark in most summers! Does Mineola data go back to the early 90s and if so, was that their previous summer of record in terms of 90 and 100 degree days? It's amazing to get 52 days over 90 and 6 days over 100 Long Island has so many fascinating microclimates!

wow thanks this is great info, Mineola was as hot as Newark at peak heat in 2011 and had just as many 100 degree days in 2010.... Chris, how many 90 degree days did Mineola have in 2010 and is it their all time record? How far back does the data go there, was 1993 their previous hottest summer (number of 90 and 100 degree days) before 2010? And do you think the position of the Bermuda High is cyclical and we'll eventually go back to those kinds of summers again?
-
also that's really far inland, where we live near the coast we've trended towards summers with a strong coastal breeze off the ocean which has kept us from having as many 90 and 100 degree days as we did back then.
-
Oh you're going by average temperature, which includes the minimum. For summer heat, I go by number of 90 degree days and number of 100 degree days, not average temperatures. When the min is high it means it's usually either cloudy or very humid or both and when it's more humid during the day and of course when it's cloudy, the temperature rises more slowly.
-
It could be, but I've also noticed the temperatures rise a lot more quickly when there's a drought. The last notable drought I remember was in 2002, which was a very hot summer, starting with that big three day heatwave in April, the grass was yellow to brown all summer.
-
nice..... how close were 2010 and 2011 to this? I think they had a few 100 degree days too, I know JFK had 3 in 2010 and 2 in 2011
-
the heat of March 2016 really stands out wow
-
1993 was eventually superseded by 2010 which became our new hottest summer on record, but we haven't had as many 90 degree days since then-- although we did have a peak heat hotter in 2011. I don't see that being broken any time soon because we simply get too much rain in the summer now to match that kind of heat. We need a drought here to get over 100.

Baseball season will start in less than a month

wow mid 70s on this date in 1997 and then the April Fools Day snowstorm more than a month later lol
-
why are we getting this cold blast when it was supposed to be nice and mild from here on out?
-
They're all doing direct flights for the total solar eclipse too, I've read that millions of people will be traveling to see it.
-
Do you remember the summer of 1993, it was our hottest summer on record up to that point. We all had numerous days above 100+, JFK had 2 in a row from what I remember, NYC had 3 in a row and EWR had 5 in a row. The 90s were the decade that had our most 90 degree days and also our most 100 degree days-- the summers of 1991, 1993, 1995 and 1999 were all extremely hot.
-
if December is bad then thats a sign for not much snow for us too-- 2014-15 was the only major recent exception
-
yeah it was mostly an inland winter we were on the edge of the heavier snows
-
Definitely had some good winters since then like 2017-18 and 2020-21 but the main effect aside from the awful last 2-3 winters was a huge bump in winter time temperatures. NYC has a total of 6 DJF average temperatures of 40 F or higher and 5 of them have happened since 2000.

But what about looking at Venus and seeing what happened there and picturing that happening here... -

And John, why is the US increasing emissions, we are out of time and this should not be done, we have reached new highs in fossil fuel extraction at record levels. -
then you shouldnt like it, it just means dreary soggy weather. the best weather is now!
-
I wonder what the low was at KFOK
-
song birds chirping all morning
-
why werent there these wildfires back when we were much drier? 2002 was extremely dry-- much more than we are now and yet there were no wildfires? The grass was parched yellow all summer....
-
Do you think we've reached a place and time where 40 degree average winter temperatures are now the norm?
-
these are human caused aerosols? where did they come from?
