This matches up with my experience too, nothing even close to 1983, 2002 and 2010! I take it neither NYC nor LGA has had any top 5 90+ days since then either, Chris?
-
Do you have any reports of how high the wind gusts were near JFK as well as rainfall totals? Thanks!
-
The disparity has gotten worse over the last few decades though. Is there a way to compare the years through the 90s vs what has happened since? It seems like the disparity between inland vs coastal 90 degree days has increased markedly
-
Thats fine lol. Northerly winds eventually give us dry heat too. Same with westerly winds.
-
This is why I'm against the whole densely packed megacities. It isn't just bad for the climate it's unhealthy, laden with pollution and also more likely to spread disease. It's why NYC is greenifying the city, because vegetation, specifically trees, cleans the air and is healthier than having all that concrete all over the place. Not to mention how much better and healthier fresh produce is from urban farms than the processed crap.

wow I knew 1988 was hot but not record breaking hot, at least not here. Downtown Baltimore, MD, hit 103 degrees, marking a record eight days of 100 degree heat for the month, and ten for the year. That record has never been matched or broken, even in 1991, 1993 or 2010 there?
-
I am hoping it hits 110 there right through Monday, so every day in July is at or above 110.
-
Yes, I have a very specific definition of hot month and hot year. 10 90+ degree highs in a month = hot month 30 90+ degree highs in a year = hot year We can use LGA for this calculation since NYC is obviously compromised
-
I guarantee that 1983, 1993, 1999 and 2010 saw a lot more 90 degree highs than this though
-
Yes it was really uncomfortable. 2010 and 2011 felt a lot better than this.

Extended summer stormlover74 future snow hole banter thread 23
LibertyBell replied to BxEngine's topic in New York City Metro
We did manage a heatwave here and at JFK, temps in the low 90s all three days, but it was really the humidity that made it feel so much worse. Normally low 90s is perfectly fine for me, but I felt so sluggish and dizzy in this weather. Another thing-- when the humidity is really high, my A/C performs much worse. Despite running it 24/7 my room temp was between 86-88 during the peak of the heat all three days. -
Yay-- official heatwave here too, just like JFK. The last three days my highs were 92,93,91 5 90 degree days in July, which is also the total for the year.
-
Mid to upper 90s? The highest we have had all year is 93, Chris. Lack of 100 degrees comes from the fact that our summers have become much rainier.
-
100 degrees with 30% humidity feels much better than this mediocre "heat" crap
-
dry heat is MUCH better, we need for NASA to figure out a way to suck this excess water vapor into outer space.
-
We had very heavy rain here for 30 min from 7:45 to 8:15 and a very strange very orange sky, it actually reminded me of back when the dust/smoke was really bad.
-
temps in the 90s with dew points in the 50s are a breath of fresh clean air
-
I think we hate humidity, rain is okay, once a week or so.,
-
Hit 91 here on the south shore of Nassau too.
-
Hit 93 here on the south shore around 2 PM before the sea breeze came in-- it doesn't make it feel any better, it just gets more humid with temps hovering around 90 for a few hours.
-
Hit 93 here right around 2 PM for the high of the day Tomorrow should be the last 90+ day for awhile and our first heatwave of the season.
-
what caused the near record blocking, Chris?
-
Feels a lot hotter than it actually was.....months like July 1991, July 1993, July 1999, July 2010, July 2011, etc, would laugh at this, since we had double digit temperatures over 94 back then
-
why does this heat feel so much hotter than the more extreme heat we had in 2010 and 2011?
-
I hope Phoenix hits 110 one last time on Monday, it would be interesting to see the whole month of July there with every day at 110 or above.
