Maybe the heat from the continents is heating the western basins more quickly? The same thing seems to be happening in the Western Atlantic.

Just go by actual temperature history, no summer in recent memory can hold a candle to 1993, 1999, 2002 or 2010.

I wonder if this is a yearly pattern now, with heat going to the western part of the continent. We just do not get super hot summers here like 1993 and 2010 were. Posting that temperature record from July 9, 1993 from JFK is quite the revelation.

Let's see if we can get it to match what I just posted from July 1993.

100 degrees with a 58 dew point and a 25% humidity and a NW to W wind is my perfect summer day !!

May I introduce you to July 9, 1993? One of my epic greatest summer days in the history of New York City! Here is the JFK record from that historic day. It was still 90 degrees there at 11 pm after getting over 90 degrees by 10 AM haha. And you thought JFK was cool ;-) https://www.wunderground.com/history/daily/us/ny/new-york-city/KJFK/date/1993-7-9 6:00 AM 77 °F 72 °F 84 % W 5 mph 0 mph 29.92 in 0.0 in Fair 7:00 AM 80 °F 74 °F 81 % W 5 mph 0 mph 29.93 in 0.0 in Cloudy 8:00 AM 86 °F 72 °F 63 % NW 12 mph 0 mph 29.94 in 0.0 in Fair 9:00 AM 89 °F 70 °F 53 % N 13 mph 0 mph 29.95 in 0.0 in Fair 10:00 AM 91 °F 66 °F 43 % N 7 mph 0 mph 29.96 in 0.0 in Fair 11:00 AM 96 °F 65 °F 36 % NW 10 mph 0 mph 29.95 in 0.0 in Partly Cloudy 12:00 PM 98 °F 62 °F 30 % NW 9 mph 0 mph 29.95 in 0.0 in Partly Cloudy 1:00 PM 99 °F 59 °F 26 % NNW 10 mph 0 mph 29.94 in 0.0 in Partly Cloudy 2:00 PM 97 °F 60 °F 29 % NNW 12 mph 0 mph 29.93 in 0.0 in Fair 3:00 PM 100 °F 58 °F 25 % NW 12 mph 0 mph 29.92 in 0.0 in Fair 4:00 PM 99 °F 59 °F 26 % WNW 14 mph 0 mph 29.90 in 0.0 in Fair 5:00 PM 100 °F 58 °F 25 % W 12 mph 0 mph 29.89 in 0.0 in Fair

what is causing the western flow up there but not down here?

NYC doing okay compared to LGA so far

Yes I remember you referenced the early 1970s a couple of winters ago as the type of pattern to look for and not coincidentally we had a streak of bad winters then too.

anyone getting close to 130 degrees out there lol?

why is the western pacific running the show and why isn't the eastern pacific warming as quickly?

Yesterday was hotter for me, I had the A/C on at 6 pm. Today, no A/C needed.

that offshore storm is going to delay the frontal passage. Saturday morning should be okay.

wow that 1821 gale hit both Norfolk and Long Island (hence the name). I wonder where this made landfall on Long Island?

No rain Friday, it will be at least partly sunny on Friday

on April 7, 2010 it was 67 in Long Beach and 87 at JFK lol.

everyone will be building homes like they do in the southwest soon enough. 90 degrees doesn't feel hot and the homes cool down rapidly at night.

I blame these stupid brick oven houses. They build homes much better in other parts of the country where 90 degrees doesn't feel hot at all and homes cool rapidly at night. In the future I strongly believe we'll all be building houses like that.

1982 - A four day storm began over New England which produced up to 14 inches of rain in southern Connecticut breaching twenty-three dams and breaking two others. Damage was estimated at more than 276 million dollars. (David Ludlum) 1988 - A dozen cities in the eastern U.S. reported record low temp- eratures for the date, including Atlantic City NJ with a reading of 40 degrees. Fifteen cities in the north central U.S. reported record high temperatures for the date, including Glasgow MT and Havre MT with readings of 102 degrees. (The National Weather Summary) wow a 4 day storm in June 1982-- a few months after the historic April 1982 cold blizzard !! By the way this wasn't just a 4 day storm for New England, it was also for NYC and Long Island! I wonder how much rain fell here.... 14 inches of rain in Southern CT sounds like a lot of rain here too!! And it was 40 degrees at ACY on this date in 1988.... that must be the latest it's ever been 40 degrees there? 2 years ago history repeated itself and we were in the 40s here too! JFK: 49 (2023)

1825 - A hurricane struck Long Island NY leveling trees and causing damage to ships. The early season hurricane, which originated around Cuba, caused major damage along the Atlantic coast from Charleston SC to New York City. Many were lost at sea. (David Ludlum) 1825: A severe storm of tropical origin swept up the Atlantic Coast during the first week of June 1825 with reports of significant damage from Florida to New York City. Shipping logs told of a disturbance at Santo Domingo on May 28th and Cuba on June 1st. Gales were reported at St. Augustine, Florida on the 2nd. The Norfolk and Portsmouth Herald reported "undiminished violence" from the gale force winds for 27 hours, ending on June 4th. The effect of the storm reached well inland. Washington had cold, heavy rain all day on the 4th with high winds laying the crops in the vicinity. The wind also tore up trees by the roots in front of the State House in Philadelphia. This storm impacted the New Jersey Coast and the Long Island area as well with high winds and a two-foot storm surge. A Columbian frigate was driven ashore as were many smaller boats. The largest loss of life occurred along the Long Island shore when a schooner capsized. The entire crew of seven was lost. wow, this was a hurricane that hit up here in the first week of June? what were the SSTs? a 2 foot storm surge sounds just below hurricane intensity though? Maybe a Cat 1-- any re-analysis done on this storm's track, point of landfall and intensity, Tony?

it can't be 100x optical because that would necessitate a large heavy lens. I have a few digital cameras with 50X optical zoom and they all weigh over a pound lol. It's likely 10x optical and 10x digital zoom (combo is 100x). My cameras with 50X optical zoom also have 2x digital zoom (total of 100X like yours but heavier because 50x optical zoom weighs a lot and requires the lens to extend outwards about 6 inches from the body of the camera.)

whats the optical zoom on that? 10X I think thats the max for a cell phone and it also has built in image stabilization?

Looks like everyone was where they were supposed to be today lol

true, and a high of 103 in August in 2001, something that has very rarely happened. Besides that day, I think there's been only one other time NYC has hit 100 in August in my life and that was in 1983.

also ground level ozone, too many cars....
