and we have much shorter heatwaves now, we have not had a full week 7 days of 90 degree days since 1999 or 2002.
-
Has JFK stayed the same or also increased. And that's because of high pressure building further north? I was wondering if there's a way for us to extrapolate what the NYC number of 90 degree days "should be" based on EWR. I think EWR averaged 10 more 90 degree days than NYC back when the equipment was properly sited in Central Park? So I guess we can say that the records from 1991 and 1993 of 39 degree days should have been exceeded in 2010 and at least tied in 2022?
-
Yes-- and I noticed something else-- the decoupling between EWR and NYC.... 2022 was #2 at EWR tied with 1993 which was NYC's hottest summer on record in terms of 90 degree days (tied with 1991) same with EWR at that point..... but 2022 is not to be found in the top 10 list for NYC, that shows that something is wrong with the siting of NYC's ASOS. 2021 which is tied with 1991 at EWR isn't to be found in NYC's top 10 list either. It's interesting that 2016 was tied with 1983 at EWR, both were super el ninos with big snowstorms and 1983 used to be the summer with the most 90 degree days prior to the 90s (and at JFK prior to 2010), but 2016 wasn't that high on the list for 90 degree days at either NYC or JFK was it? What was that year when JFK doubled the 70 degree dew point days record-- 2016? I remember they had like 42 of them, beating 1983's record of 21? Too bad they didn't have nearly as many 90 degree days in 2016 as they had in 1983!

50s and rain? thats not warm, I'd call that....mild and rainy
-
average temperature is deceptive though because summer heat is defined by number of hot days (90 degrees or higher). I dont think the records from 2010 have been beaten in that department
-
But not with number of 90 degree days, right, it's simply been raining too much. In 2010 we had the most 90 degree days ever and in 2011 we had the highest temperatures we've recorded.
-
does this mean it's going to be sunny? can't be that warm and cloudy and raining lol
-
as long as it doesn't rain much, it's useless if it's cloudy all the time and raining
-
That "account" (and I use that term VERY loosely) is definitely sig worthy lol
-
Keep us posted
-
where is this warmth coming from by the way.... are we getting some sort of heat up here from the SW deserts? I noticed Dallas is going to be in the mid 90s on Wednesday.... is that where our heat is coming from?
-
we were lucky, we could have had it as bad as Boston.... then again we were just a few miles away from 2 feet of snow lol. I've never seen a boundary like that in such a big storm, literally dividing the city in half.
-
But the summers right after 09-10 were much hotter than anything we've seen recently, our summers have gotten cooler and rainier and more humid.
-
but those westerly heat bursts are really good because they give us lower humidity, therefore less allergies (at least for me-- 2010 had an amazing summer). we had consistently hotter summers in the 50s, 90s and the early part of the 10s than what we do now (I go by number of 90 degree days). somehow during the 50s we had both hotter summers and TCs coming up the coast frequently.
-
I remember that-- I wondered how we had a raging blizzard on southerly winds that night....how does that happen lol JFK had 10" of snow after 1" of rain, which has never happened before. The sides of our houses were caked in snow the next morning. Why did it take us so long to changeover to snow?
-
we had three notable storms here this year one in January that gave us 2 inches two in February, 4 inches from the first one and 6 inches from the second one.
-
aren't backdoor fronts mostly a problem for eastern new england? they don't reach our longitude all that often or are modified when they get here... the last two springs were warm and dry, remember we hit 90-91 twice last year in April? and I had no allergies!
-
I think that's how they finally cleared up last year.

True but to be honest, no animal deserves to be caged. If there was a way, the best way would have been to return him to his natural habitat with the rest of his kind. If he lived a year in NYC he probably could have managed just fine in the wild with the rest of his kind. Like they did with Otto the Octopus who used his toys to break free from his enclosure and squirted water at the surveillance cameras to shortcircuit them, who was eventually released into the ocean. Then again, the level of intelligence of octopi is absolutely amazing-- and stunned scientists who thought cephalopods couldn't be this intelligent.... and now we know they build large settlements on the seafloor. -
and the 20 inch line made it all the way into the city, it wasn't confined to inland areas. Even Brooklyn got around 20 inches.
-
I wonder if the SE Ridge can be strong enough to keep the showers to our NW and we just get dry frontal passages.
-
How do you think we do long term, do you think we'll eventually get to a sunnier/drier pattern after next week?
-
These should always be accompanied by cloud cover / precip maps, it doesn't feel like spring if the sun isn't out
-
Maybe parts of Long Island had an accumulation?
-
This is the anniversary of the latest 20 inch snowfall at NYC since the blizzard of March 1888 !
