I think makes it a wet weekend for everyone, look at how widespread the rain is.
-
what causes it to move from north to south though? our winds are not coming from the north....
-
yes on the positive side, barring any unforeseen rain (heh) next weekend should be in the low 80s with sunshine. Thursday will be the last hot day, major change coming by Friday. This is now normal for us, even if they are extreme, our heatwaves are rarely longer than 4-5 days anymore.
-
I hear thunder and the ground is wet here, so it's raining but the rain is very light.
-
Maybe it's time to move the weekends to the middle of the week?
-
Yes but wet ground can also suppress temperatures, we didn't see this kind of thing in 1999 or 2010.
-
Yes, do you see what I mean about our new wetter climate? This kind of shit did not happen in 1953 or 1966.
-
I like severe weather after heat wave season ends-- glad to see severe weather did not interfere with our nice dry heat in 2010 :-)
-
Thanks Ralph, I think you were the one who measured the actual snowfall in Central Park too!! -
well, some have said that nuclear testing led to some of those extreme heatwaves in the 40s and 50s (1944, 1948, 1949, 1953, 1955)..... there's no real proof of that though and if that's true, what led to the extreme heat in 1966? A drier climate is the likely cause for all of these.
-
That was the ideal time to live here.
-
Thanks, this was the hottest June day that I remember.
-
Thanks this is some way to begin their period of record (which began in late July.)
-
Newark wow, 5 days out of 6 of 100 or above and an all time September record of 105....... Sundog would not be pleased lol.
-
some very dry years back then especially 1953 and 1966 (maybe 1944 and 1948 and 1949 and 1955 also?)
-
1953, 1977 and 1993 all stand out for being 8-9 days in length. 1977 being the most intense out of those and also the longest.
-
Yes that was an absolutely amazing heatwave that resembled 1993 in some respects, three straight days of 100+ at NYC and 2 straight days of 100+ at JFK. JFK's recorded history also began in 1948 as Idlewild.
-
Thanks Tony, do you have anything from the 6 day heatwave at JFK in 1948 that peaked at 101? 1948 was when their period of record began.
-
wow nice pictures, I wonder if any of those people are alive today?
-
1966 and 2010 were both at 100 or above (2010 a little hotter than NYC, 1966, was significantly hotter than NYC.) Some of those other periods were really long, an 8 day heatwave in 2013 which peaked at 100 (hotter than NYC) 2006 had a 7 day heatwave that I don't even remember that peaked at 99 wow. 1993's 7 day heatwave that peaked at 101 I remember well and also 1999's 5 day heatwave that peaked at 102. And 1983's 6 day heatwave that peaked at 100 which was our previous hottest summer prior to 2010.
-
From what others have said 1953 was a nationwide heatwave..... what was going on that summer to make it so hot for so long and especially so late in the season?
-
what about in 1994 when JFK and NYC were both at 98?
-
JFK could easily be over 100 with Long Beach at 92. I think you guys were in the 90s in 93, 99, etc too when JFK was over 100.
-
Maybe someone can take a digital thermometer into Central Park and take a picture of it in there like we sometimes do when there's an errant snowfall total there.
-
104C = 40C so you should love that if you're a fan of the metric system lol
