  1. Yep I think so too. Also, there are some large billlowing white clouds approaching from the north and northeast. And as an aside, I've seen my first lanternflies of the year =\
  2. That 6 degree difference from 1972 really stands out, I wonder what was going on that day? and wow, JFK had 2 100 degree days in 1983 and NYC had none?
  3. Tony no extreme heat on the horizon (95+ for all areas) after this week?
  4. Yes as long as the sun is out, I don't have those allergies.
  5. Intriguing stats Don! How many days have there been when JFK reached 100 and NYC did not? One I remember right away is July 4, 2010.
  6. it especially doesn't make sense since in this kind of heat the moisture from the rain evaporated the same day that it fell.
  7. watching the NBA finals at that time and then went to sleep so I could get up early to watch the temperatures rise!
  8. This was my last previous 100 degree day
  9. In fact, on July 20, 1977, 0.06" rain fell. July 21, 1977 saw the mercury hit 104°. I always wondered how NYC hit 104 that day, because the park had actually cooled down after a 2 day streak of 100+ and then got even hotter the day after it rained! If that rain hadn't occurred, the park would have had 4 straight days of 100+!!!! That day it didn't hit 100 and it rained, was that the day of the big blackout Don or did that happen before?
  10. Let's see what time the sea breeze comes in, I'm hoping for after 2 pm back here in the western part of the island. We hit 90 before 9 am here lol.
  11. The highest temperature two days after 1" or more rain was 99°; the highest temperature one day after 1" or more rain was 97°. Wow, Don, what's the most rain we have had on the same day it's hit 100?
  12. Was it right about JFK hitting 90 before 9 am?
  13. Yes, it has to hit 100 by 2 pm.... thats why the rapid temperature rise in the morning is necessary to get to 100 before the sea breeze hits here. It's like following a rain/mix/snow line lol
  14. it's already 91 here, we're off to the races, just like my favorite historic summer days :-) My benchmark for historic heat which I developed during the summer of 1993 was to reach 90 degrees before 10 am, if that happens and assuming no sea breeze before 3 pm, 100 is within reach. On July 9, 1993 we were heating up like we are today and hit 90 at 8:30 am and 92 at 9 am, and rose 4 degrees per hour until we hit 100 between 12 and 1.
  15. Yep 91 here too, heat on the south shore is very underrated, the temperatures rise much faster here than they do on the Arctic North Shore (especially up until 1 or 2 pm.)
  16. it's 91 here and the temperature is rising quickly at 9 am
  17. when I was growing up I spent a lot of time in tropical places and deserts in the summer so I'm used to it, it rejuvenates me. Nothing worse than rain and clouds in the summer. It's already up to 91 here at 9 am, I told you the coast heats up faster....
  18. Historically in such a scenario the coast hits 100 early on (12-1) and then temperatures start to drop after 3 pm.
