exactly why we need to get rid of all this useless excess water.

above average but not a hot summer by any measure.

2008: June 7 - 9 , New York, New York: New York City set record high temperatures for three days running: 96 °F, 96 °F, and 99 °F. Truly amazing and that wasn't even a hot summer in 2008.

it was a mini drought, not like what we saw in a real drought like 2002 when we had yellow/brown lawns.

Looks like the only day of rain with that next storm will be Saturday.

Too bad Long Island couldn't do it. Although those places did hit 100, it still can't hold a candle to the record extreme heat we had in such years as 1993, 1999, 2010, 2011, etc.

Looks like the sun will come out tomorrow around 4 PM, we won't have to wait for Wednesday to clear out. It will rain in the morning, dry out by noon and clear out by 3-4 pm.

today is at least a -10

They did say it would stay in the 60s. Naturally we're going to get lower temps in this kind of pattern. At least it's not cold enough for me to turn on my space heater lol.

Of course 2010 is at the top that's our hottest summer of record here. 1999 is number 2.

Our Septembers are now hotter than our Junes are.

it wasn't like this in a few years in the 90s we went straight from winter to summer, it was a common theme here, check out May 1991 That was one amazing summer from May through September

I do think there is something to this September being warmer than June idea, I wonder how many times that's happened in the past? So in 1983 September had 7 90 degree days including a 99 on 9/11, how many times has June had 7 90 degree days with a peak of 99 or higher?

But no 100 at LGA either? We can discount Central Park lol

I wonder if we can bridge the two and get them to connect together to produce one giant High? All the heat is being funneled into the West.

I'm sure somewhere like Millville NJ or Wrightstown NJ will reach 30 90 degree days, Trenton NJ too.

Can you please explain why fronts keep *coming back* instead of just going west to east and passing offshore like they normally do, Tony?

Yes it has, way too WET. also high mosquito populations. wet weather is NASTY for bugs!

Records: Highs: EWR: 102 (2011) NYC: 97 (1933) LGA: 99 (2008) JFK: 96 (1984) Lows: EWR: 47 (1957) NYC: 47 (1930) LGA: 59 (1980) JFK: 48 (1980) Histrical: 1874:The highest maximum temperature ever recorded in June in Washington, DC was 102 °F. (Ref. Washington Weather Records - KDCA) 1953 - A tornado hit the town of Worcester MA killing ninety persons. The northeastern states usually remain free of destructive tornadoes, however in this case a low pressure system, responsible for producing severe thunderstorms in Michigan and Ohio the previous day, brought severe weather to New Hampshire and central Massachusetts. The tornado, up to a mile in width at times, tracked 46 miles through Worcester County. It mangled steel towers built to withstand winds of 375 mph. Debris from the tornado fell in the Boston area, and adjacent Atlantic Ocea. (David Ludlum) (The Weather Channel) 1966: Hurricane Alma made landfall over the eastern Florida panhandle becoming the earliest hurricane to make landfall on the United States mainland. 1971: The tornado that struck the town of Gruver in the Texas Panhandle on this date is believed to be the widest tornado in U.S. history with an average path width of 2,500 yards. At times, the monster storm was over two miles wide. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History) what a historic day! It was 100+ for two days in a row at EWR in 2011 around this time? Regarding 1874, I didn't know DCA was recording temperatures that early! 1953 might have had the most historic day of all with that massive Worcester tornado and later that summer two historic heatwaves, our longest on record with 4 100+ days between them including one in September!! 1966 had our earliest hurricane landfall and another historic summer with both LGAs and JFKs highest temperatures on record (107 and 104). and 1971 with a tornado well over two miles wide!!

there's a certain kind of tick that gives you an allergy to meat if it bites you, I call it the vegan tick.

wild I wonder what caused that deep blue area, upwelling?

Yes 2010-2013 was really good especially for the city and points east, we have tailed off since. Yes the lows were lower in the 40s and 50s, but they are still considered hot and very hot days (which refers specifically to the high temperature). Those days with low humidity are ideal summer weather. Warm and very warm weather can refer to higher averages from elevated lows, as a temperature of 70-75 can be considered warm and 80 can be considered very warm.

Did you see that July 2010 heat I posted? I was wowed that we actually once had that kind of climate. 101 degrees and a dew point of 45 and humidity under 15% lol.

I doubt we will even get 30 (definitely not here or in NYC)..... my prediction would be for less than 30 90 degree days for EWR too.

and very little sun and looks like lots of rain. the real heat looks to be in the West this year, California is having a big heat summer already. Normally when this happens, it means that it will flip just in time for fall and winter, in other words we will have another mild and snowless winter while California gets a lot of snow. Thats going to be my long range forecast
