Yes, for the ocean, not for where we live.
And even if that happens, it will happen after it's already hit 90.
I looked at the hautographs, it shows a SW wind over the ocean and a westerly wind over land (including here).
The wind on Thursday will be a strong downslope wind and there will be little to no haze so those *hot* spots may include the south shore of Long Island, we could hit 90 here.
Here too, in and out of clouds, but currently the sun is out! I guess that call of the sun coming out between 3-4 pm turned out to be right! High temperature was 81 here at 6:10 pm
Yep, it's a dark star right now, but it looks like the skies are brightening up, so we might have seen the last of the rain. The sun is about to peak through the clouds.....
1:23 pm
Yes, but most of those are from the 2010-2013 period though which is when we had a bonanza of 100+ days.
That 2019 period was very memorable for having the highest heat index (117) that JFK has ever seen.
It wasn't supposed to be raining here after 12 noon but it is and raining pretty hard too.
I see the projected clearing line has been pushed back from 3 pm to 8 pm so we might clear just in time for sunset (it would make for a gorgeous sunset if that happened.)
Did you ever have a situation where JFK was cooler than Long Beach, Chris? It does happen to me quite a bit, I just chalked it up to living in a more urban environment than where JFK is located.
What's the height at which the higher stations run cooler than 2m? Would a sensor on or near the roof of a 2 story home be significantly cooler than a sensor at 2m? 2 stories = 20 feet or approximately 6m.
An example from yesteryear.
In July 1993 (on the 9th if I remember correctly), I recorded a high of 102. JFK recorded 101. This was in the era before ASOS and the numbers matched.
Chris, we've had a 20 day heatwave? It must be at Newark since our longest heatwave was in 1953 and September's all time record high (102) is from that year. 1953 was historic for number of 100+ days (4) and length of heatwave (12).
