    Just going by number of 90 degree days, 1983 had our record prior to 2010. JFK did this amazing thing in 1983, 100 degrees in both July and August and then we hit 99 on 9/11/83 with 7 90 degree days just in September, 37 for the season. 1983 was hot June, July, August and September. I don't go by average temperatures, NWS ranks summer heat by number of 90 degree days. We can extend that to very hot summers by ranking them by 95 degree days or even 100 degree days.

    lol you're basically saying everything we've been saying in the Yankees thread and Cashman must be blackmailing Hal I can't see how else he is still running the team.

    I thought Tuesday was supposed to be the hottest day? Either way we could make history twice this summer, our first 100 degree day in June AND our first 100 degree day in the July 24-30 period!!
  4. LibertyBell
    Did they have a sub 80 high during our recent cool stretch?

    how is the smoke coming in from the east? I thought the winds normally have to be coming from the direction where the fire is happening?
  6. LibertyBell
    you hit 100 congrats
  7. LibertyBell
    I'm confused, shouldn't the smoke be coming in from the north?
  8. LibertyBell
    the clouds actually make it seem less smoky lol

    WNW flow means 100 here during the day :-)
  10. LibertyBell
    it's not that bad here right now, just like a slight haze.

    1983 and 1991 and 1993 and 1999 and 2002 and 2010 were extremely hot for you guys too
  12. LibertyBell
    I noticed the 1940s and 1950s were pretty high around your area too. Then a second spike in the 2010s. I think the increased dew points means fewer 90 degree days in the new era. I don't have NYC numbers for 90 degree days offhand, but I do know that the 40s and 50s were peak 90/100 day weather here, with a nod to 1966 being the hottest year in the 60s. Then we had another peak in the 1990s.

    Yes, I think 100 degrees could get to JFK, on a WNW wind JFK is the regional hot spot. Tuesday too.

    wow 1993 was full of historical records all over the country!!! 1993: Pueblo, Colorado: Record high for date, 101°F and record low for date 52°F, set on same day! (Ref. WxDoctor) The Great Mississippi River Flood of 1993: Rising water stopped all rail traffic through Kansas City, MO. A tornado moved along a 4 mile track across parts of northwest Scottsbluff, NE. The tornado destroyed a furniture store and about 8 homes, with about $3 million dollars in damage. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)

    Hopefully that extends to our area, it seems to be a much stronger trend to our west. 40 90 degree days is a bit too much, but I want to see 30 90 degree days per year more regularly here. It only happened once here, in 2010.

    See, thats why it should be 100, not 98 or 99, which leaves you feeling unsatisfied. Just get it to 100 for a day or two every summer and then let it be cooler for the rest of the summer.

    also are we sure that this instrumentation is properly sited-- 101 to 102 seems a bit high.... how do you record max/min data on these instruments and how do you put it in tabular form?
  18. LibertyBell
    Chris how do you put this data in tabular form and when will that micronet start recording wind direction as well as wind speed?
  19. LibertyBell
    But that chart also assumes no large scale geoengineering projects will happen, which I don't think is true. Beginning in 2030 or maybe even before, we'll very likely see such projects to cool down the climate, humanity won't stand still and just let the climate warm like that.
  20. LibertyBell
    Yes, the west has gotten hotter and drier while the east has gotten wetter and warmer (warmer refers to minimums while hotter refers to maximums). But in this context 1995 is when we switched to a +AMO
  21. LibertyBell
    For us it was the 1990s.
  22. LibertyBell
    Bigger question is what kind of geoengineering can we do to cool the oceans back down, I envision a device that would overturn the oceanic circulation and constantly bring up cooler ocean waters from the depths. Yelling about reducing fossil fuels isn't going to do anything-- it's already too late for that-- humanity must actively start large scale geoengineering projects to reverse what's going on.
  23. LibertyBell
    Yes! I want to know how many cities/reporting sites have completed this rare duo in the entire country. And the places that did not get 50 inches of snow in 2009-10 got it in 2010-11 lol
  24. LibertyBell
    Yeah if it's going to be this hot it might as well hit 100-- of course lower dew points would be preferred too (like July 5, 1999 here which was 102/45/no idea what the heat index was at that time.)
  25. LibertyBell
    Look how much hotter 2010 was, a full three degrees hotter! All the other years are at least 3 degrees behind.
