These are the bluest skies I have seen in a long time. I would love to see this kind of sky more often instead of the hazy crap we usually get.

How come the Pacific Northwest has been seeing most of the extreme heat the last few summers, Don? I feel like they are having what we had between 2010-2013?

wow from 2014 to 2019 every year had the last 90 degree day in September or even later (October in 2019). In 2013 we didn't have any after 7/20 which is interesting since that was such a hot summer with a long heatwave in July to boot! That was our last 100 degree day before this June. If JFK does not see any more 90 degree days would this be a match for 2013 since there have been no 90 degree days this year in August at the airport either? The last 90 degree day is going to be in July-- which has to be rare? When is the average last 90 degree day?

you can be a snow and cold enthusiast and also enjoy hot summers. I don't understand why ANYONE likes rain in the summer, even farmers I have talked to on Long Island prefer hot and dry summers.

Those areas are warming much faster than we are (in the summer anyway.) Is there a reason why summers are much hotter there than they are here, Don?

But heat increase is measured by rising temperatures, not dew points.

summer is over Don

No more 90 degrees, summer is over it's hard to have a hot day in September when it's been so cool in August (after that one heatwave I mean)

the AC is good to filter out bad air, I sometimes even turn it on during the winter as it helps keep my air clean. I haven't turned it on in the past 2 days but did turn on my space heater for a few hours each day. I have my fan on right now. If it's not hot (85 degrees or hotter), just turning on a fan will cool you down.

it's just a relative comparison to other seasons. I can agree with your statement because the 1990s saw the most extreme heat and longest heatwaves here. By the way, when did you move to Colorado? Did you move there to see more snow?

wow, now THIS really looks like October!

September is mostly within the borders of summer so I think it should be considered, our seasons mostly follow the astronomical calendar, so it's approximately June 20 - September 20 1953 and 1983 should both be several spots higher. I generally agree with 2010 and 1966 being at the top though.

why lol, clouds suck!

Do you think Summer 2010 will even be eclipsed by the 2030s at JFK for number of 90, number of 95, and number of 100 degree days Don? My target year is 2032 because it follows the 11 year cycle of super hot summers.

around 1 inch of rain looks about right for here winds gusted to 40 mph there probably should have been a wind advisory and a gale warning here I noticed there was a tropical storm warning up to central NJ-- why not here Don?

the sun is coming out and my allergies are GONE!

hurray my allergies are finally GONE-- I think it's drying out and I even saw a peek of sunshine!

it goes along with my intuition of rising temperatures linked to more violence and wars. we see this all the time in the summer, higher temperatures closely connected to gun violence.

this plus all the winds and ragweed have caused my allergies to return, undoubtedly this is the worst weather of the entire year =\

this plus the allergies from the high winds and ragweed is what has my throat burning (even without it on).

PD2 was better than ANY of those storms besides January 1996 and January 2016.

You forgot PD2, we had 26 inches of snow in that one. February 2006 was very minor compared to that (half the snow and 02-03 was one of our greatest winters ever and only wall to wall besides 95-96).

so wild, I think some places reached 100 degrees in 1983 in July, August AND September??? Can you check to see which ones did that-- I'm sure some place in Queens did as JFK hit 100 in both July and August in 1983 and 98 in September (NYC hit 99).

Thanks, Don, I strongly suspect these have become more rare with time just like full length winters like 1995-96 and 2002-03 have become much more rare. 1953 and 1983 really jump out from this list as having the highest frequency of such months.

1983 does much better if you include September, that was a scorcher of a month!! My favorite summers would have been: 2011, 2010, 2002, 1999, 1983, 1980, 1966, 1955, 1953, 1949, 1948, 1944 Those would be my top 12.
