Two things that really stand out are that 104 degrees from August 2018 (wow!) and that three day 100+ extreme heatwave that happened at the end of August 1948 (triple wow!!)-- when JFK had back to back 100+ days. The only other time JFK has hit 100 in August was during the endless summer of 1983 (when it also hit 100+ in July).

so it looks like we could get as hot as we are now or possibly even hotter Don?

One of the times I recorded 106 on my car thermometer was in July 2019 when I was driving through northern Queens. I think the high at JFK was 99 (ugh) and it was 100 at LGA if I remember correctly. In Manhattan it was 98 on my car thermometer and then I got into the Midtown Tunnel and came out the other side and just after that and before I hit the Grand Central the temperature rose to 106 lol. It starts to drop again after you pass that park and lake near the Grand Central (I don't remember the name of either.)

I just don't see how it's possible as the heat wasn't anywhere near as anomalous as June's was when I hit 106 and 103 on back to back days. Although I suppose it's possible, my car thermometer recorded 106 a few times in the part of Queens I describe below. I don't disagree about the skyscrapers making it cooler, I have driven around the city in the past and northern Queens was consistently the hottest part of the city, especially that area when you leave the Mid Town Tunnel and just before you hit the Grand Central. It's because density of population and extremely high traffic volume, that part of Queens is at least 5 degrees hotter than Manhattan on the other side of the tunnel (and this is year round not just in the summer.)

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. -from Brainly

no way keep that thing away, I want it to be like late June, hopefully it stays down there lol

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 may hit 100 today we're ahead of yesterday's pace (already in the low 90s here)

a weird 1 degree high difference between JFK and MTP lol

today will be the 4th it's already in the 90s here

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.)

Low 90s here, I can make a run at 100 today as long as the clouds stay away. We've been partly cloudy all morning.

I think JFK can hit 100 today we're already in the low 90s here. The only issue is clouds, we've been in and out of clouds all morning here.

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.

0% chance of 90 on Thursday, it's going to be cloudy all day with off and on rain, mid 80s at most.

meh I'm sure it was 100 on some part of your property lol

yup, updated high temperatures EWR-101 LGA-100 NYC-97 JFK-96 ISP-96

dew points in the mid to upper 60s not that bad The highs around the region so far EWR 100 LGA 100 NYC 97 JFK 96

the first 8 days of August will be in the 80s or less.

it's interesting that 1993 isn't on this list, I thought it was hotter than 1991.
