This is the worst weather of the entire year, my allergies are back. I really hate clouds+rain+wind and now it's just clouds+wind which is even worse. Why is it taking so long for this damned pest of a hurricane to leave? They usually move at 40-50 mph up here, this one is crawling along at 15 mph. Also, the media is all over this storm, why so much coverage for a storm that isn't even going to make landfall anywhere? Is it because the tropical season has been so quiet? At least the beaches are all closed so people aren't allowed to do stupid things.

How rare is a summer like 1983 with temperatures over 95 degrees 4 months in a row (JJAS), Chris?

Heavy downpour here now too

definitely, I hate this humidity, now it's just cool and clammy

Don, where would 1983 be on this list with September included?

Nassau County really needs a micronet, there are probably big differences from the barrier islands to Sunrise Highway let alone what happens farther north. Sea breezes are very local and don't usually make it more than 2 miles inland.

not just yellow leaves, but leaves have actually been falling here for a few days now

Thanks, these are pretty much the hottest summers as I remember them-- I'm surprised that 1983 isn't on this list though, that was hot from June through September and set records for that era.

the hottest it got anywhere was low 90s, around here we had none or only one 90 degree day, it was a big step down from the June 20-July 31 period. It's like the summer equivalent of the 2010-11 winter, the snow season ended after the end of January-- but it was rocking for 5 weeks starting with the solstice lol

this entire month has been pretty cool. also recurving typhoons don't necessarily produce cooler weather (see 1995), they can also produce hot and dry weather.

it helps that it only lasts two days

this entire month has been pretty cool, summer ended when July ended

it's much cooler, like early fall, I have my space heater on today

I actually turned on my space heater today

It's very scary, like a line of fog that's quickly approaching.

It does sound Italian....

you guys share the same gods too (I mean the ancient cultures in each group of course lol), the Romans just changed the names lol

ugh the state Mesonet is too coarse, they have one station in Nassau County and it's in Wantagh and I might as well use FRG lol. I'm like 15 miles west of there.

It's also interesting talking about previous historic records (both hot and cold, both snowy and rainy) and instrument relocations, it gives a lot of context to what's going on.

woah you can probably even see a snow squall wall headed towards you, those can be truly epic, I've seen a few of them on I-80 in NJ and PA. And the associated traffic jams lol. The jams might be a good thing in snow squalls though, you really want to slow down in them.

That makes my skin crawl, even though I know we need them lol. Just not inside my house =\

Yep, this is the case in many other countries too and it's driving the pollinator mass extinction.

JFK ISP batting shut outs for 90 degree days in August. I've had 1 (last Thursday) How is ACY getting shut out of 90 degree days in August, that's very unusual! They might end the month with zero 90 degree days if Sunday doesn't pan out, has that ever happened before?

September is still summer and can be quite hot. Our seasons are more closely in line with astronomy than these bogus *Met seasons*

has the sun come out yet by you-- it's playing hide and seek today lol
