Yes today was the second hottest day of the month, it was 93 here, behind the 95 we had last week.

wow 2010 is in first by a large amount, I wonder if we can get to around 10 this year.

It makes me wonder what actually caused those marine heatwaves out there? Was the land that hot that it caused the ocean to also heat up so quickly, or did the oceanic currents somehow change to create a feedback effect to make long lasting marine heatwaves? Japan is on the western side of the Pacific and since we're on the western side of the Atlantic, I feel like a similar thing could happen here one day.

it should be updated as some areas on Long Island still had rain as late as 3 PM today

nice that looks like a live cam lol

if we have a 102 degree heatwave blasting westerly flow right into the ocean shouldn't that heat up the ocean even more? I feel like the only reason onshore flow heats up near shore ocean waters is because it brings Gulf Stream waters closer to shore?

we're primed up for tropical season

Would a nice strong offshore wind like we got in late June that got us over 100 degrees also make for bigger storms since the land breeze keeps the ocean influence away?

Yes this was great! I hope we get an updated PNS, we probably got over 2 inches here too.

I'm glad it rained here most of the morning, it actually feels drier now with the sun out.

the sun has come back out after it was raining all morning here lol

wow you're out there now? the nights must be absolutely awesome and with no light pollution and lots of stars!

I'm confused, yesterday was fairly hot and got up to 88 here before the clouds moved in, it wasn't an Ambrose jet sea breeze kind of day.

We're under a flood advisory now

I knew we had a lot of rain here, now we're under a flood advisory and it includes Oceanside, Atlantic Beach, Long Beach, Freeport, Massapequa, Bellmore, etc.

well if we can remove water vapor before it builds up to the point of a deluge, it's like defusing a bomb....

Yes, but it was a nice transition zone sort of like the March 1993 superstorm when JFK got 12 inches, Oceanside got 10 inches and Massapequa only got 6 inches. Divide that by 10 and you got the rainfall total from this storm lol. We got over an inch of rain here. I feel bad for SE Nassau which got much less.

No I'd much rather have westerly flow dry heat lol. the high humidity crap is disgusting, we need some geoengineering projects asap to remove both water vapor and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. water vapor can be converted to drinking water and the carbon dioxide can be deposited into sinks.

Yes June really baked, which is ironic because it started cool and rainy lol.

July 22-23 2011 had the most extreme heat I had ever seen until June 24-25 2025.

Have you seen a radar estimate map of rainfall? From what I just saw on WABC7, the green area (one inch of rainfall) extends to about halfway out in Nassau County on the south shore (to around Freeport I'd estimate), and then there's an area of 2 inches plus in southern Queens that extends down to Broad Channel and out to the Rockaway Peninsula. So this area is just to the east of that, so based on that I'd estimate we got between 1-2 inches of rain near Oceanside, probably closer to 1 inch. The south shore of eastern Nassau county had less than one inch (once you get east of Freeport.)

It reminds me of the March 1993 superstorm. JFK got 12 inches (actually more than Central Park by 1 inch), Oceanside, close to where I am got 10 inches..... but Massapequa only got 6 inches. Divide all of these by 10 (like liquid equivalent lol) and that was the rain total from this storm! Brown, really? Everything is still green here lol.

it's up in the mountains? that's topographically impossible it should be at least 5 degrees cooler than the surrounding areas because of elevation. The 103 104 and 106 east of there are more reasonable because they're east of the mountains and downsloping will heat up the air east of the elevated area.

also western part of the south shore, check out the area from around Jamaica Bay to Valley Stream and Lynbrook, those areas saw around an inch or a little more than that. Massapequa is SE Nassau about 20 miles east of here (the same distance that Manhattan is west of here lol.)
