Same as central Jersey. There's a reasonable reason why..... people who live near south facing coastlines almost always get less in the way of storms (I hate severe weather so I don't mind.) East facing coastlines like NJ and MA have do much better with these kinds of storms.

it would be better to keep the humidity under control with nice dry weather.

I was outside for 4 hours lol, came in right around 1

EWR has three more 90 degree days than PHL lol

I noticed 1967 is on this list too, it came right after the historic 1966 summer! This follows a common pattern: we get a great hot summer (1966), then a great snowy winter (1966-67), followed by a dud summer (1967) followed by a dud winter (1967-68) we get a great hot summer (1995), then a great snowy winter (1995-96), followed by a dud summer (1996) followed by a dud winter (1996-97)

Yes, looks like today is the only cloudy day. No rain during the day either, we did have some last night but it's been dry since I woke up this morning.

Yes, and these so-called *fees* are being used to line their own pockets, this is what Hochul pointed out yesterday. All those profits go right to their execs and shareholders. They remind me of Big Pharma and their overpriced meds, both are vultures who feed off the underprivileged.

It's their fault in the sense of how much money their execs and shareholders make, they get fat on our backs. We need a salary cap for execs too.

Hochul pointed this out as why she was against Con Ed increasing costs, the execs get fat on our backs. exec salaries should be chopped in half. I would go even further and create a ceiling on how much they can make.

I've been doing landscaping work this morning since 9 am and it's actually perfect weather for it.

They were all so extreme back then. We don't get the extreme and lengthy heatwaves like we did back in 1993 and 1999 anymore. It's just too wet to get that anymore. What we get now is 2-3 days of extreme heat like we did in June, which is the most extreme heat we've seen since 2011. The cool summers you describe, would you say 2014 was the last one to be like that? It came right after the hot summer streak of 2010-2013.

Final high of 97 at EWR.

I do believe Newark is representative of its area but not for our area as a whole. You just have to look at the summer of 1993 to see that. Although Newark's hottest summers match my own area's they are always a few degrees hotter. In 1993, Newark had 9 100+ days while NYC had 3 (in a row) and JFK had 2 (in a row.) This was before the siting issues. You can even go back to 1949 when Newark had 8 100+ days while NYC had 5 99+ days. Newark has almost always been a few degrees hotter than Central Park, even before the siting issues. As a matter of fact, going by number of 90 degree days, Newark closely matches Philadelphia, so I'd say their summer climate is more like Philadelphia than it is New York City-- which makes sense, since it is inland.

ugh I was going to do some landscaping work in my yard tomorrow lol. when you said sea breeze minimal I thought you meant it was going to be hot lol From what I looked at, it's going to rain both Thursday and Friday and cloudy Saturday, so no sunshine after today until Sunday?

yep hit 89 here after 4 PM that was unexpected lol Usually on a seabreeze day we peak before 2 PM

Got to 89 here, just missed 90.

Omg I passed out that summer from the humidity. There were two very hot days in May and then one on the last day of August the only times it reached 90. But the day I passed out was not hot, but very humid. My nightmare kind of a day. Overcast all day with a temperature of 81 degrees and a relative humidity of 100% (81 DP). Do you remember this day Chris, I think it was in July? I was commuting back from college and as soon as I got home I got very lightheaded couldn't hear a sound saw all white in front of my eyes and everything around me was in slow motion. Luckily I was almost home and was able to stumble inside and pass out on my floor.

They must have run hot a few years ago when they were always the hottest in the local area, maybe they fixed that issue.

they need sirens, like tornado sirens

they need sirens and the politicians who skimped on sirens because of cost should be ashamed of themselves

why arent we? this area does well on a westerly wind

half an inch is all I want or need, it's a lot better than highly destructive severe weather and flooding which causes so much damage and kills people. I'm not sure if there was much of a seabreeze, it sat in the mid 90s most of the afternoon lol.

Long Live 1993 I remember this day and the following day (Friday and Saturday) like it was yesterday! Highs: EWR: 104 (1993) NYC: 106 (1936) LGA: 98 (1993) JFK: 101 (1993) New Brnswck: 105 (1936) I see LGA underreported temperatures back then-- its good to see JFK beat them and so did NYC at 101 but not listed because the historic 1936 heatwave peaked on the same day!! 1993" record daily high temperatures were set at: Newark, NJ: 104°, NYC-Kennedy Airport, NY: 101°, Greensboro, NC: 101°, Atlantic City, NY: 100°, Wallops Island, VA: 100°, Dulles Airport, VA: 99°, NYC-LaGuardia, NY: 98°, Concord, NH: 95° and Islip, NY: 93°. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)

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?
