The back to back 106 and 103 I recorded last month was the real deal though, same exact siting as in July 2010 and July 2011 and it was hotter than either of them at their peak.
it's probably because thats a concrete jungle and the densest most highly populated part of the city. But I don't take 103 degree temperatures seriously. If I wanted I could stick my thermometer out in a sunny part of my yard and record even higher temperatures than that.
Today it looks like the sea breeze might stay away until later so we have a much better chance at 100+
well the clay I saw used in the SW was different, it was basically adobe clay
The Pueblo peoples of the American Southwest built homes out of adobe, sun-dried earth made from sand, clay, water, and organic matter.

it'll still be pretty humid and uncomfortable I bet with dew points in the mid 70s or higher
the forecast had a high of 84 for tomorrow, I assume that'll happen when it's not raining lol
That whole period was probably the best period of weather EVER in the tristate area.
I'd start with the 2009-10 winter going all the way through the 2015-16 winter
great winters in 2009-10, 2010-11, 2013-14 and 2014-15
30 inch snowstorm in January 2016
below zero VD 2016
historic 2010 summer
historic 2011 heat
hit 100 in 2012 and 2013 too
August 2011 deluge
August 2011 earthquake
Irene
Sandy
September 2010 severe wx outbreak
We really need to stop building brick buildings and brick houses. They are basically ovens. In my time in the SW and in other places that hot, I noticed how well their buildings cool off in the evenings-- and so quickly. We need to start building more housing with stone and clay. Homes built with this material removes heat very quickly. I really don't care about our winters anymore, they are no longer relevant, we need to build housing that removes heat as quickly as possible.
The heat really hasn't been as strong as what we had in late June (not just the highs but the temperatures in the morning). Manhattan *probably* hit 100 but we can't be certain, I am 100% certain they hit 100 in late June though. That was some historic heat when it hit 106 here and then 103 the next day.
you know as well as I do those are inflated lol.
There are no scientific standards being applied with regards to siting (the same can be said about Central Park.)
ps I don't consider heat historic unless it hits 100 everywhere (including coastal areas).
It's like with HECS, I don't consider March 1993 on the same level as January 1996 (I don't really care how much snow the South or the Mountains got-- it's supposed to snow there.)
It looks we can hit 100 today as it's already in the low 90s here and it's not even 9 am yet lol. The only issue will be clouds, we have been in and out of clouds this morning (looks like they are of the altocumulus variety).
For me to consider heat historic it has to hit 100 all the way to the coast the same way it has to snow 20 inches all the way to the coast for me to consider a snowstorm an HECS.
Not in 1999, not even on the day it hit 102 at JFK (the high was late in the day too)?
and in 2011 when it was 103 and 102 on back to back days at JFK on July 22-23?
wait how do you get 15 minutes of snow from a cloudless sky?
and I thought the 8 inch diameter snowflake that fell in Montana was ridiculous! I wonder if they froze that thing to save it for posterity lol.
We once had snow from a cloudless sky, I don't remember what year (late 80s or early 90s) and it was in December. But it happened at night and it was a full moon and it snowed for 2 hours and we got 1-2 inches (it snowed really hard from a cloudless sky.) An arctic front had come through that day and we had on and off snow showers with mostly sunny skies all day and it was very windy.
I can't really say the sky was completely cloudless but since I could clearly see the full moon while it was snowing hard, thats what I assume
Can you find out what year that happened?
it happened from 10 PM to Midnight I remember this because I saw the radar for it on the 10 oclock news on PIX11 and it was small stalled snow shower near JFK and the south shore of Nassau county.
