the party ends after today, the clouds move in tonight, rain Saturday, dry Sunday and Monday but cloudy. So four days of mostly cloudy skies like Tony said, after today the next meaningful sunshine will be next Tuesday.

Yep, I'm not used to the temperatures peaking after 4 pm, it's still been rising here lol. I'm used to the highest temperature being around 2 pm and temperatures falling off around 4 pm.

zero sea breeze, it's been awhile since the temperatures peaked here after 4 pm on a day that was completely sunny

Yup they keep going up and up lol. Mine hit 91 a few minutes ago but some of these other ones are up around 95 lol https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KNYMALVE20 92.9 https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KNYROCKV16 90.9 https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KNYVALLE55 95.2 https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KNYMALVE17 90.0 https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KNYVALLE54 90.0 https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KNYNEWYO2050 93.6 https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KNYNEWYO1657 93.6 https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KNYVALLE55 95.2 https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KNYWOODM4 91.4 https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KNYWOODM8 92.5 https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KNYVALLE15 89.6

This are two near JFK, 93.0 lol https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KNYNEWYO2050 93.0 https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KNYNEWYO1657 93.0

But they're hotter than Orlando which is even further inland and to the south.

Islip McArthur Airport is actually in Bohemia which is more akin to mid island. I'm not sure that NYC would be hitting 30 90 degree day averages, because even before the vegetation issue in the late 90s and beyond, the early 90s heat was not as extended as our heatwaves were in the 40s and 50s. I think our climate is becoming way too moist to sustain 95 and 100 degree heat on the level we saw back then until we warm up to the level of Jacksonville, FL.

I'd like to limit games to three pitchers per game per team and limit rosters to 10 pitchers, the bullpens have become way too dominant and take up most of the team.

well as we have discussed, Long Island hasn't seen this increase in 90 degree days (but they have seen an increase in 85 degree days). However as Climate Changer and I discussed, with rapidly increasing averages, it's only a matter of time before we start seeing more 90, 95 and 100 degree days here with or without a seabreeze. Maybe by 2050 our climate will be like Jacksonville, FL rather than Miami, FL. Big difference. Hell Jacksonville reaches 100 degrees more than Orlando does even though Orlando is more inland and SW of there. Orlando hits 100 degrees at about the same frequency as we do. On average, Jacksonville, Florida experiences about one day per year with a high temperature of 100 degrees or higher. The last time Jacksonville reached 100 degrees was on June 23, 2022, according to firstcoastnews.com. Miami has only recorded a temperature of 100 degrees once, on July 21, 1942. Therefore, Miami doesn't typically experience temperatures reaching 100 degrees annually. While Miami is known for its warm climate, the temperatures don't usually climb into the triple digits. In the past decade, Orlando, FL has only reached 100 degrees once, in 2015. While it's known for hot summers, 100-degree days are rare in Florida. The city also came close to reaching 100 in 2022 with a high of 99 degrees in late June. In 2023, Orlando hit 100 degrees on August 12, breaking a record set in 1938, according to ClickOrlando.

Yes, I'd like to return to the era of the Mattinglies and Boggs, when we had the top hitters hitting over .350 and not striking out much. That actually might be happening now with Judge and Freeman.

It's even hotter than them in SW Nassau south of Peninsula Blvd. This is the furthest south place on Long Island (not including the barrier islands.) https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KNYWOODM8 88.0 https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KNYWOODM4 88.5

it reminds me of rain/snow lines in the winter, it would be snowing here and raining out in westhampton lol.

https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KNYVALLE15 a high of 89.4 so far near Peninsula Blvd https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KNYVALLE55 89.6 https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KNYMALVE20 90.8 https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KNYHEMPS10 92.8

Yes, this is my favorite kind of heat! I don't count the barrier islands as part of Long Island, they are separate islands lol.

Exit Velocity? Great—it went 112 MPH off the bat. But was it a hit or a loud out? That’s the part they skip. Launch Angle? That’s cute. Let’s just ignore the fact that launch angle obsession has turned 180 hitters into all-or-nothing flyball machines—producing three true outcomes: walk, strikeout, or home run. Welcome to baseball’s version of roulette. Spin Rate? That’s the holy grail now, right? So pitchers blow out elbows trying to increase RPMs instead of learning to pitch. What happened to command? What happened to working backwards? Analytics made pitchability a dirty word. Metrics Replacing Men They sold us wRC+, xFIP, and CSW%—metrics that tell us what should have happened instead of what did. That’s not baseball. That’s fantasy. Real players fail and fight through it. Real scouts see beyond the stat line.

whats with all the reds on that map lol

barrier islands maybe, not around here.

Yes, these are my thoughts too and exactly what I'm hoping for. Variability is muted but eventually the elevated averages will win out and boost maximums to extreme levels. It's happening in the West first because they have dried out. But eventually water vapor won't be able to hold us back from our fate.

80 here too and the projected high for here is also 90 with westerly winds most of the day. a great day!!

Precisely, high temperatures. I prefer a Jacksonville climate vs Miami.

Whats the difference between Miami and Jacksonville..... Jacksonville is further north but gets hotter in the summer, why?
