100/55 sounds pretty good though lol

Yep, the part of Queens after you exit the Midtown Tunnel and get on the Grand Central Parkway.

wow that sounds like absolutely perfect weather! Great for the peak of the Perseids tonight too!

it's absolutely ideal!!

Hotter than the city too. Even before the foliage issues, EWR had 10 more 90 degree days than NYC in 1993. It's just a different climate in the oven of NJ, for the same reason that NJ gets more snow in the winter they get more heat in the summer.

How does MMU compare to SMQ?

its actually an ideal location for those of us who like temperature extremes because its hotter during the day and colder at night than most other areas.

radiationally cools at night as well or even better than KFOK does sometimes.

it also cools down very quickly at night, sometimes even colder than KFOK

I know, when I drive through that area, it's always a few degrees hotter than Manhattan and where I live. I think Don mentioned this before, that area is very densely populated with a lot of traffic, I'm sure it has something to do with it.

upper 90s is very close to 100, it wouldn't take much to get there.

1989 - One of the most severe convective outbreaks of record came to a climax in southern California after four days. Thunderstorms deluged Benton CA with six inches of rain two days in a row, and the flooding which resulted caused more than a million dollars damage to homes and highways. Thunderstorms around Yellowstone Park WY produced four inches of rain in twenty minutes resulting in fifteen mudslides. Thunderstorms over Long Island NY drenched Suffolk County with 8 to 10 inches of rain. Twenty-three cities in the southeastern U.S. reported record low temperatures for the date. It was, for some cities, the fourth straight morning of record cold temperatures. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) wow what was going on in 1989? we had another huge and terrible nationwide severe wx outbreak in November 1989 (which has been discussed before on here.) 1944 - The temperature at Burlington, VT, soared to an all-time record high of 101 degrees. (The Weather Channel) The Dog Days officially come to an end on this date, having begun the third day in July. Superstition has it that dogs tend to become mad during that time of the year. (The Weather Channel) Look at how hot 1944 was, absolutely amazing !! Highs: EWR: 102 (1949) NYC: 102 (1944) LGA: 99 (1949) JFK: 99 (1949) 1949 too, I would have been pissed off, JFK hit 99 instead of 100 lol. 1933: The shade temperature reached 136.4° at San Luis, Mexico, to unofficially share the world record with Aziziyah, Lybia. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History) 1936: The warmest August temperature ever recorded in both Oklahoma City and Wichita Falls occurred on this date. The morning low in Oklahoma City was a warm 82°, before both cities warmed up to a very hot 113°. The old August record in Oklahoma City was 112, which was set the day before. In Wichita Falls, this record was tied on 8/6/1964. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History) Tony what happened to this 1933 record from Mexico, I don't see it mentioned anywhere? and 1936 endless heat continued....

Heat is generally stronger to the north because those places are further away from the moderating effects of the ocean. Manhattan is an island.

Maybe 100 finally

But Newark's temperatures are always 3-5 degrees hotter than the rest of the area.

this all started with ASOS because mets are lazy, we should go back to how it was before things became automated

the history of TC in our area is if they are offshore and recurve, we usually get big heat right after they leave our area

I'm surprised it's drier there than 1965, 1966, 1993, 1999, 2002 and 2010. It's good to see 2010 still #1 for heat though.

2010 was such a magical historic summer

thats 1965, 1966 level (well close anyway).

that was an unexpected 90 at NYC, the dryness must be doing its magic there

it felt rather hot after 4 pm

How much snow before the inevitable changeover?

Rclab you are a mathematical marvel, you have a future in analytics my friend

wow and our climate was much colder in the late 70s. aside from that historically extreme heatwave in July 1977 and April 1976 of course.
