Yes this is the perfect weather, I really don't know anyone who actually wants a rainy summer unless they make money off of growing vegetables.

Wasn't there one near Linden (KLDJ) that always runs hotter than KEWR?

Oh it's even worse than that, they use Central Park temperatures to pat themselves on their verification scores. It happened on WABC when Central Park hit 99 but not 100, they said *see we told you New York City would not hit triple digits* They weren't able to explain why all the airports did though....

I like snow in the winter but a dry summer. There are multiple benefits to a dry summer, including less need to do weeding and not having to deal with mosquitoes and other bugs and of course mold allergies. I noticed most of the weeds I didn't get to have shriveled and dried up this month.

JFK was too cool too, it was 95 here. But that might be a function of their sensor being located right on the Bay lol.

Heard more about the Con Ed situation, they are going to raise both gas and electric prices 15% and not only that, they are also going to increase transmission costs so even if you use less power you will still pay more. And it's not an insignificant amount, WABC7 said it could amount to a 200 dollar higher bill PER MONTH.

It was enough rain, don't want the weeds to overgrow or the bugs to overpopulate

It's better not to have a lawn. I live on the south shore specifically to have a dry and hot summer, so this is perfect for me. There are multiple benefits to not getting rain in the summer. Far fewer mosquitoes Far fewer weeds Far fewer destructive thunderstorms and flash flooding I dont want to live in a tropical rain forest and don't want more than one - two inches of rain per month from June through August.

a better forecast would have been mostly sunny with a chance of late afternoon showers and tstorms. All our locals had a high near 90 which was exceeded by 5+ degrees (it was 95 here.) This is a very typical summer pattern for us and happens almost every summer. I don't even like the word *washout* we don't have washouts here in the summer unless a tropical system is coming up the coast. The FCC needs to ban that term and no weather forecaster should be allowed to use it. For me, if a day is cloudy it's already ruined, so we should judge whether a day is good or bad with a skycover forecast and both Monday and Tuesday were mostly sunny until late in the day.

Just heard that Con Edison intends to raise electric and gas prices.

4th time this year.

The third hottest day of the year here so far. EWR has reached 100+ 4 days so far, Don? This is our third 95+ day (the other two days were 100+). Today was the hottest day of the month, so far. Highs included: Bridgeport: 94° Islip: 92° New York City-Central Park: 93° New York City-JFK Airport: 93° New York City-LaGuardia Airport: 98° Newark: 100°

almost completely clear here

No I mean sky conditions, it's been mostly sunny here the last two days (even now.) I don't even see any clouds in the sky. Near 90 was the forecast for today, but no one had mid and upper 90s like we're seeing right now. It's the hottest day since late June. Not a drop of rain yet-- didn't get anything yesterday either.

This is probably why I see clouds from time to time to my north but the sunshine continues here unabated lol

More like 6 pm to 7 pm here, the earlier time frame will be for inland areas. The storms along that front will get here around 6 and will move through quickly between 6 and 7.

Trust me it won't make a difference, we have been up around 95 from 1 pm to now.

I think the reason is that it gets rainier in late July. The first half to three weeks of July are drier than the last week of July is.

LGA only hit it on 7/27, so this is a New York City thing not a foliage thing lol.

2010 was the king of all summers!! 95 here and extremely humid. First 95 since the triple digits back in late June.

Yep, 95 here with a so-called southerly *sea breeze* It was supposed to be mostly cloudy the last two days and yet it's been mostly sunny here both days lol.

How are these forecasters so awful and so wrong all the time, they even bust on sky conditions for 1-2 day forecasts? It was supposed to be mostly cloudy with rain. The last two days have been mostly sunny here and today it's at 95 here on a southerly *sea breeze*. Normally you'd see an early high around 90-91 today with temperatures falling into the upper 80s in the afternoon on a due south wind, but today it's stayed up around 95. It's the first 95+ day since the late June triple digit temperatures.

This is the kind of hot humid weather you get when you miss on a TC.

Got to 90 early on the south shore today, before 11 am. Not like late June when we were hitting 90 before 9 am lol but it's much more humid now.

already 90 here and it's not even 11 am yet, could make a run at 95 here today
