    Chris do you have the dailies for the big 10 day heatwave in 1896 from Newark's perspective or is Central Park the only surviving dataset from that deadly heatwave that killed 1,500 in the city?
  2. LibertyBell
    Yes, Washington's diary records a lot of the big snowstorms of that winter from Morristown! Maybe we have annual weather records from Morristown going back even further than Newark?
  3. LibertyBell
    Yep no sea breeze 95 for both of us on the south shore!!
  4. LibertyBell
    it's made it to 95 here and tied July 8th!!
  5. LibertyBell
    Yes, it's probably why 1,500 NYers died during the 1896 10 day heatwave. That was before they even had electricity, I can't imagine what that was like.

    The 1980s were well represented on that list, it makes me think the Central Park sensor has been faulty for a long time. Somehow they never got below -2 since the 1940s.

    The 1780s were the coldest and snowiest time in our history, because of that Icelandic volcano, Laki. I read that NYC reached -16 (only one degree colder than it was in February 1934) and that we had over 100 inches of snow throughout the area.

    lol you should have seen the NOAA assistant director during his interview trying to make it seem the budget cuts won't have an effect
  9. LibertyBell
    if it doesn't make it to 100 the pain isn't worth it.
  10. LibertyBell
    they should just let wunderground run all their stuff
  11. LibertyBell
    I hope she's in a/c It made it to 93 here but it's leveled off since.
  12. LibertyBell
    92 here now too
  13. LibertyBell
    it's already up to 92 here at noon
  14. LibertyBell
    they'll come in before that, probably by 4 pm and end by 6 pm
  15. LibertyBell
    and you'll add three more with the heatwave next week, Tuesday might be hotter than today (with no rain and maybe not even any clouds).
  16. LibertyBell
    Yeah around 1 inch of rain per week (preferably at night) is probably ideal.
  17. LibertyBell
    Looks like high temperatures will be at around 3 pm before a sharp drop off with the rain coming in by 4.
  18. LibertyBell
    Check out July 5, 1999 when we had a temperature of 102 and a dew point of 45 here lol
  19. LibertyBell
    Looks like rain will be moving in around 4 pm and last through about 6 pm, there will be a sharp 10 degree temperature drop between 3 and 4 when it comes in.

    I just saw a live video of the Manhattan skyline, why does it look so POLLUTED and SMOGGY?? Is it because of trapped pollutants from car fuel exhaust?? Barely any visibility in the video I saw, meanwhile 25 miles to the east over here it's a very clear and deep blue sky with zero haze.

    are there power outages or something? what causes the intrahour issues? I think they missed a 90 degree reading in there, we hit 90 here a few days ago at 4:04 pm and JFK didn't catch it.
  22. LibertyBell
    94-98 is the range I would go with and that's pretty good (and close to our July max of 95 which we hit earlier in the month.)
  23. LibertyBell
    The only thing that interrupted that heatwave was a 3.25 inch deluge on Day 3, I wonder what kind of storm that was? That was almost a 15 day heatwave if you count the 89 the day before it started.
  24. LibertyBell
    wow it shows that even low to mid 90s can be deadly, the length of that heatwave might be what made it so deadly. It's not on the list of longest NYC heatwaves though. Why was that heatwave in 1972 more deadly than the two longer and more extreme heatwaves in 1999 though? 1999 was second only to 1953 in heatwave length and extremes.
  25. LibertyBell
    Oh nice I am going with this classification too. Hot is like a SECS (4-8 inches of snow) Strong heat is like a MECS (8 to 15 inches of snow) Extreme heat is like a HECS (16 to 29 inches of snow) Inferno is like a BECS (30 inches of snow plus) I would adjust strong heat to 95-99 and extreme heat to 100-104 though
