That might be what separates this from May 1996 heat. That year we went to a warm humid summer with no 90s until the last day of August (the total opposite of August 1995 when we had no rain the entire month until the last day of the month!) In May 1996 that was pretty much it for the heat for the whole year.
-
Yep where that ring of fire hit the NE, there were some amazing convective events. The front sometimes just stalled over C PA to upstate NY, while it baked east of there. And going further west, the rains and flooding near St Louis was historic.
-
I feel like May 1996 was the last remnant of the hot summer of 1995, because after that it was just humid warm weather, we didn't even hit 90 again until the last day of August. In August 1995 we didn't have any measurable rain until the last day of August. Such radically different summers.
-
Yep, in 1993 it didn't happen until July lol when we had a 10 day heatwave with 3 straight days over 100! A week before that it was rainy and in the 60s!
-
Didn't we have something like this in April 2010, the day we had our earliest 90 degree reading....NYC reached 92 while JFK hit 89 and Long Beach was only in the upper 60s? The models underdid that heat!
-
Thanks Chris, so would you say this event would be roughly comparable to May 1996, like the April 2002 extreme heat was comparable to April 1976? Interesting that 2002 had the much hotter summer-- one of our hottest as a matter of fact!
-
Reminds me of some of our hottest summers when that happened. 1993 comes to mind.
-
I think we had a similar heat event in 1996 on almost the same day? Eerie, like comparing April 1976 and April 2002. Interesting that the summers that followed were so different, Summer 2002 was one of our hottest.
-
Wow so 100+ in three different heat events? That must be highly unusual. I'd like to see what caused the peak of that summer to only reach 103 at Central Park, while it was 104 at JFK, 105 at EWR and 107 at LGA. Somehow NYC ended up at the back of the pack.
-
1966 was probably the best summer ever for record dry heat, 102 in June and then three straight days over 100 in July.
-
The 130.0 Death Valley hit last year is likely the "real" world record.

Occasional Thoughts on Climate Change
LibertyBell replied to donsutherland1's topic in Climate Change
Do any of these so-called "leaders" even understand how much they are messing the planet up? -
They're here early!
-
How is this different from May 1996? It was about that extreme then too. And what about the April 2002 heatwave?
-
That's what I think it likely too, near 100 over interior NJ, low 90s in NYC and low 80s on Long Island.
-
I highly doubt it's that extreme. Looks like Central Park is forecast to reach 90 both days of the weekend, and we'll probably get to 80 near JFK.
-
That's a built up highly urban area. You literally can't breathe the air there because everything is so clustered together and so polluted. Asthma rates through the roof in that part of Queens too, I think it has the highest asthma rates in the entire country. It's not a "natural" environment to live in. Not to mention that 100+ is extremely rare in the city, the last time it legitimately happened was back in our extremely hot summer of 1966.
-
why are we going with the Euro? Hasn't the GFS shown itself to be better this year?
-
Nah the south shore will probably get close to 80, at least the western part of the south shore. Might drop back later into the afternoon
-
99 next Saturday? why is no one forecasting that? also looks like more 90s for Memorial Day weekend! do you have a percentage of cloud cover forecast for each day in that period too?
-
Cant take a 103 temperature reading seriously lol. The last time that happened was 2011.
-
Likely August or later. Peak severe weather here is September thru November.
-
any rainbows?
-
Looks like cooler and drier weather coming back after the hot weather spike?
-
Not a fan of severe weather at all, I'd rather have dry and hot between snow season and tropical season.
