But no 100 at LGA either? We can discount Central Park lol

I wonder if we can bridge the two and get them to connect together to produce one giant High? All the heat is being funneled into the West.

I'm sure somewhere like Millville NJ or Wrightstown NJ will reach 30 90 degree days, Trenton NJ too.

Can you please explain why fronts keep *coming back* instead of just going west to east and passing offshore like they normally do, Tony?

Yes it has, way too WET. also high mosquito populations. wet weather is NASTY for bugs!

Records: Highs: EWR: 102 (2011) NYC: 97 (1933) LGA: 99 (2008) JFK: 96 (1984) Lows: EWR: 47 (1957) NYC: 47 (1930) LGA: 59 (1980) JFK: 48 (1980) Histrical: 1874:The highest maximum temperature ever recorded in June in Washington, DC was 102 °F. (Ref. Washington Weather Records - KDCA) 1953 - A tornado hit the town of Worcester MA killing ninety persons. The northeastern states usually remain free of destructive tornadoes, however in this case a low pressure system, responsible for producing severe thunderstorms in Michigan and Ohio the previous day, brought severe weather to New Hampshire and central Massachusetts. The tornado, up to a mile in width at times, tracked 46 miles through Worcester County. It mangled steel towers built to withstand winds of 375 mph. Debris from the tornado fell in the Boston area, and adjacent Atlantic Ocea. (David Ludlum) (The Weather Channel) 1966: Hurricane Alma made landfall over the eastern Florida panhandle becoming the earliest hurricane to make landfall on the United States mainland. 1971: The tornado that struck the town of Gruver in the Texas Panhandle on this date is believed to be the widest tornado in U.S. history with an average path width of 2,500 yards. At times, the monster storm was over two miles wide. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History) what a historic day! It was 100+ for two days in a row at EWR in 2011 around this time? Regarding 1874, I didn't know DCA was recording temperatures that early! 1953 might have had the most historic day of all with that massive Worcester tornado and later that summer two historic heatwaves, our longest on record with 4 100+ days between them including one in September!! 1966 had our earliest hurricane landfall and another historic summer with both LGAs and JFKs highest temperatures on record (107 and 104). and 1971 with a tornado well over two miles wide!!

there's a certain kind of tick that gives you an allergy to meat if it bites you, I call it the vegan tick.

wild I wonder what caused that deep blue area, upwelling?

Yes 2010-2013 was really good especially for the city and points east, we have tailed off since. Yes the lows were lower in the 40s and 50s, but they are still considered hot and very hot days (which refers specifically to the high temperature). Those days with low humidity are ideal summer weather. Warm and very warm weather can refer to higher averages from elevated lows, as a temperature of 70-75 can be considered warm and 80 can be considered very warm.

Did you see that July 2010 heat I posted? I was wowed that we actually once had that kind of climate. 101 degrees and a dew point of 45 and humidity under 15% lol.

I doubt we will even get 30 (definitely not here or in NYC)..... my prediction would be for less than 30 90 degree days for EWR too.

and very little sun and looks like lots of rain. the real heat looks to be in the West this year, California is having a big heat summer already. Normally when this happens, it means that it will flip just in time for fall and winter, in other words we will have another mild and snowless winter while California gets a lot of snow. Thats going to be my long range forecast

The downside of rainy patterns in the summer are more pests and more spread of infectious disease. I fully expect West Nile and Lyme disease to be rampant this summer because of all this cursed rainfall.

we need to start spraying chemicals to eradicate them, even if it means killing off insects

thank you, math heads confuse the definition between warm and hot, the two mean different things. above average does not mean *hot*

This is an interesting thought. September has become more summery than June is.

But it's not a hot summer either, hot has a specific definition that refers to a high number of 90 and 95 degree days and 100 degree days too. We used to get these frequently in the 40s and 50s, as most of our heat records are from that era (with another peak in the 80s, 90s up to 02.)

yes we can call it a warm summer, but hot has a specific definition that refers to extreme temperatures while warm can merely refer to elevated averages from higher mins.

yeah this weather will only make more people sick it's why I need to do extensive spraying tick bites for animals are way above normal by the way glad to see you're coming around to my way of thinking that above average temperatures does not mean it's hot. I know it's a nuanced discussion but *hot* has a specific definition and a rainy summer even with +2 temperatures with a low number of 90 and 95 degree days and no 100 degree days is not a hot summer. the whole thing about average temperatures I feel is used to construct a narrative by people that just isn't true and doesn't pass the eye test. And I'm someone who knows full well about and agrees with climate change science. But I know what a hot summer is and above average with lots of rain and a low number of hot days just does not cut it.

EWR: 102 (2011) now this is real heat, not bogus *above average* temperatures that some people confuse with heat

above normal doesn't cut it for me, as averages can be elevated without any hot days, just a lot of rain and elevated minima. this is why warm and hot describe completely different things we can be above normal without any hot days or any sunshine for that matter that's not a hot summer.

cool (like today) or warm but definitely not hot. above normal = warm hot = large number of 90 and 95 degree days and a few 100 degree days thrown in. That's how I view warm vs hot. warm describes elevated averages while hot refers to number of hot days (this is how the NWS describes it too). when talking about hot days, elevated minima are not factored in as the word *hot* as a specific definition refers to how high the high temperatures are. the excessive rain is why our number of hot days is down.

I found out something interesting watching Jeopardy the other night. Cooperstown was named after the family of the great writer, James Fenimore Cooper :-)

Yes really, anyone talking about how CC is making our summers *hotter* is only referring to minimum temps.

No, where is this place, upstate?
