Maybe once we complete the switch back to -AMO we will have summers like 1993 and 1999 and 2002 and 2010 again.

Did you see the temperatures I posted from 2010? WOW, we just need a summer as dry as that to get some nice dry heat.... 101 degrees with a dew point of 45 is some of the cleanest air we can ever get around here. High water vapor in our air is a recipe for air pollution in the summer.

and a high of 101 with a dew point of 45 wunderground lists the temp as 99 on this fateful day but in between hours JFK hit 101 as shown in the records July 4th 2010 was my favorite July 4th of all time, in a stretch of 3 out of 4 days at or above 100 degrees and a nice dry heat!! https://www.wunderground.com/history/daily/us/ny/new-york-city/KJFK/date/2010-7-4 Summary Temperature (°F) Actual Historic Avg.

I'm so glad it's not here.

clouds will come in later in the day. we're fine through at least 2 pm

1953 - The worst tornado of record for the state of Michigan killed 116 persons. Flint MI was hardest hit. The tornado, half a mile in width, destroyed 200 homes on Coldwater Road killing entire families. (The Weather Channel) Interesting you had a tornado on this date in 1953, we had a historic one in 1953 in the northeast too, in Worcester, MA. 1953 was a historically hot summer here with our longest streak of 90 degree days ever (with two historic hot stretches with 4 100+ stretches split between the two superheatwaves!)

Records:Highs:EWR: 99 (2011)NYC: 95 (1933)LGA: 97 (2011)JFK: 96 (1999) 1999 and 2011 the summer gifts that kept on giving lol

sunny and low humidity and a nice breeze!!

The evening forecasts last night showed we would be mostly sunny today I don't care what happens after 5 pm lol

it's good to see a day of sunshine-- today has been sunny from the start also less humid

AI and quantum computing should be able to help with this too.

That actually reminds me of February 1989

omg I've never experienced anything like that, in 1993 we had 3 straight days of 100+ which peaked at 102 on the third day and that was my best heatwave ever.

heaviest rain in SW CT. that radar has zippo for here lol it rained for 30 minutes here, how long did it rain by you? I wish that radar had a maximum amount listed like some do.

that 2 hours of sunshine that boosted temps into the 80s here really did the trick. It only rained for 30 minutes and then the sun came back out (but no rainbow).

lots of differences over a short area, we were in the 80s here 5 miles from JFK, we had full sunshine (as in no clouds at all) from 4 pm to 6 pm when I noticed that JFK was mostly cloudy.

the sun is back out again !!

temp fell to 69 during the heaviest part of the rain too

heavy rates, maybe 2 inches per hour?

Yes very heavy rain now. after this ends would be the ideal time to look for a rainbow :-) I saw on WABC there was a brilliant rainbow earlier right over the Hudson River!

Nevermind it's raining here now and windy

I guess it's going to miss me, it got somewhat dark here and I heard thunder but nothing fell.

I heard thunder and it got dark here (also getting close to sunset now lol) but no rain fell.

okay now sunny here again, I guess we're moving in and out of clouds, it's mostly sunny here now.
