You don't even need to get that far into the interior on many of these sea breeze days, I'm a few miles south of Sunrise Highway (but also a few miles north of the ocean), and it often doesn't get here until after 3-4 pm.
I'm a little suspicious of 6-7 days of 100+ lol, the summer hasn't been hot enough to do that (1993 and 2010 were wall to wall heat.)
Wait, are you sure EWR has had 7 days of 100+ Chris? I thought they only had 4. They're still behind 1949 and 1993 but now it's getting close.
