That can happen at JFK too!

Yes this is the low humidity clean air type of heat most of us cherish

Guess what though, more often than not blocking now means lack of blocking in the winter. I want the 100 that Chicago had last week, not the mediocre low mid 90s BS

100 is awesome. We got close to 95 here, second hottest day this year. I hope we hit 100 in July!

Nice! The second time JFK has hit 94 this year. LOL @ NYC "88" The equipment at Central Park needs to be relocated or decomissioned.

It's the best part of summer! Hopefully we can hit 100 in July when this happens again

Do you think the heat of 1999 was underestimated? July 1999 had some amazing heat, 20 90 degree days and 2 days over 100!

the good old fashioned scorcher summers! lol can you imagine Bridgehampton hit 100? That means Westhampton must've hit 100 too? I wonder what's the farthest east 100 degree temps have ever gotten on Long Island? To my knowledge Montauk has never reached 100, but Westhampton has. Not sure about East Hampton or Block Island.

they must have adjusted that temp on 7/11/93 downward back then I distinctly remember it was reported that EWR had 5 straight 100+ days while NYC had 3 straight 100+ days and JFK had 2 straight 100+ days. EWR had 9 100+ days that year Ah the good old days....

and NYC tied their 90 degree record at 39 with 1991 I think 1991 was another seabreeze summer but JFK did not reach 100? Also was 1993 the last year before the NYC foliage issues cropped up? I'm trying to remember....I think NYC was doing well in 1995, 1999 and 2002 also, so maybe the issues came after 2002? 2002 was our last drought/yellow lawn year if I remember correctly.

wow I love these deep blue skies

thats what I'm thinking it's a compromise between the heat ridge everlasting and constant ring of fire activity lol

Was that a sea breeze summer? It felt significantly hotter than the summers we've had after the 2010-2013 era ended. And even hotter than, say, 2005, which was a hot summer but also sea breeze influenced. None of the recent sea breeze summers or 2005 for that matter hit 100 degrees at JFK.

Hopefully that drought feedback ridge progresses east over the next few years and we get more 90s/2002/2010 type summers.

Interesting so that linkage was what caused that nice westerly flow that brought the heat all the way out here?

Is that why super hot summers are correlated to very snowy winters? I think so..... Those of you who hate super hot summers should remember that....

The weird thing is I remember 1993 as super hot at JFK too-- do you remember that super heatwave in July? JFK exceeded 100+ on two straight days. That was the first year I used a/c lol. I remember that entire summer as hot all the way up to mid September. 90 degree heat from May until September! 2010 was definitely hotter than any other summer-- I wonder when we'll see a summer like that again?

I love this because EWR clearly matches up closer to JFK than the heat island of LGA does. 1993, 2002 and 2010 are the hottest summers in my memory too. Going with pre 1990s heat, 1983 was the first summer that matches what we have going on now, do you agree, Chris? That was both extremely hot and extremely humid. Also, going even further back, what was going on in 1944? That was such an amazingly hot summer, seems really out of place back in the 1940s. It was an 11 year summer, which could of course be the reason. I wish I could experience that. And 1966. Those would be my two favorite summers to experience.

Oh that's a shame, I think the airports all had July 2010 as the hottest. I remember July 1999 and that was extremely hot too (20 90 degree days that month, to tie July 1993 if I remember correctly), but July 2010 was a tick hotter than that. Did July 1955 hold the record before July 1999? I love these 11 year summers, it's too bad the pattern didn't hold last year.

Weird.... one thing all those summers have in common is that they all had multiple 100+ degree days at the NYC airports? Newark having 25 days of 95+ and 10 days of 100+ in 1993 if I remember correctly is absolutely mindboggling. They had 5 in a row in July, while we had 3 in the city. That still remains the greatest heatwave of my entire life.

There really is no such thing as "average" or "normal" as that always keeps changing. Why don't we just go decade by decade and show them how each decade has been warmer than the previous one? We need to stop using averages and normals when those no longer apply because of how quickly the climate is changing. I think expressing it as decade over decade changes is much easier.

I see such sociopathic behavior from various cartels-- not just fossil fuels, but logging (deforestation), the chemical cartels, various farming cartels (animal farming, big ag, etc.), basically humanity screwing up the environment for short term gains, resulting in long term losses. I see an "everyone for themselves" kind of situation developing where society divides into various factions because of these different emergencies coming to a head all at the same time. Like you said, the mass extinction event is already happening and has been for a few decades, but as more people realize what's going on, they will (and already have) divided into different factions and society becomes much more divisive....like a panic driven reaction, as they are looking to do whatever it takes to save themselves rather than face the hard decisions that need to be made in order to save society and the planet.

1980 is a case in point

and a lot of tropical activity. July 1955 set the average monthly temp record at NYC until July 2010 came along

1977 had authentic blazing heat though, rather than just high min days The good old 11 year pattern!
