I mean it's been hot but not among the hottest. I have a specific criteria for hot and it depends on number of 90 degree highs. The hottest summers to me have been 1983, 1991, 1993, 2002, 2010.

wow you weren't as hot as I was and yet I'm closer to the ocean (2 miles from it), hit 92 here to complete the heat wave. Why the discrepancy with the JFK temp on Thursday? It was 91 here that day and 94 on Friday, the hottest of the summer so far.

made it to 91 at the airports and 92 here on the south shore

hit 92 here on the south shore today at 3:15, it was a wonderful dry heat

I HATE sea breezes and I love the land breeze that gave us this night dry heat day. By the way I've been thinking about something, according to thermodynamics doesn't heat flow from hot to cold? So shouldn't that imply that sea breezes should be rare (since they involve cold air over water going to hot land?) How does the sea breeze manage to disobey thermodynamics laws?

yay JFK beat NYC by 3 degrees! 92 here on the south shore at 3:15 PM

September is now a summer month here

it's not perceptive to me, I judge heat by number of hot days and that has to be number of 90 degree days. For me the last several summers haven't been nearly as hot as 2010, 11, and previous summers were.

yes for continuity, but there was a break in continuity when they switched to an automated system and stopped trimming the greenery. It was an official heat wave on the south shore, the last three days it was 91-94-92 here. That 94 on Friday was the hottest it's been here all summer. And had a late high of 92 here on Saturday thanks to the west wind and the sun that broke out around 3 PM (the high was at 3:15 PM).

Well Seattle reached 95 but NYC did not.

Wow Bellingham was hotter than Seattle?

time to take down their economies since money is all they care about

why dont we apply strong sanctions to China, India and Brazil? Thats how you convince them to stop. Tell them this is how it has to be and if it isn't we're going to embargo the shit out of you.

one could argue that the planet would be a far better place without humans on it

we could collapse into pre-technological levels, but that isn't complete extinction. But how many people seriously think we'll still be using fossil fuels after 2050? Wont the generation that wants them all be dead by then anyway?

3C is going to make the world a miserable place for most. Space may be the only answer in that case.

There are things far worse than a true extinction of the human species. Let me paint a picture for you..... A species with a depletion of all natural resources (we currently use the amount of resources that would require 1.7 Earths, so our resource debt is getting worse and worse...), a mass extinction event that wipes out a large segment of our food supply. Pollinators dying out because of chemicals we use. Large areas of droughts and on fire (did you hear about the 124 degrees in Sicily, an all time Europe high and snails being burned alive inside their shells?) Lots of famine, frequent pandemics, and starvation with the land losing its productivity. Animal farming no longer feasible because of drought. Food at such high prices it's no longer affordable by most except in meager supplies.....higher food costs coming from weather disasters of course. And rising income disparities leading to more wars, but this time civil wars, even in developed nations. Maybe the rich are right to fight the space race. That may be the only answer to this now.

why are there two different max temps for JFK? 89.6 at 4:20 PM and 88.0 at 1:51 PM The 89.6 (90) is more accurate and closer to the 91 we had here in SW Nassau, 4 miles from the airport.

I guess they just barely made it to 90! This makes up for all the 89s this summer lol. 89.6 at 16:20 edit well thats weird (so is my newly acquired font color lol).....they list max temp since midnight at 2.0m at 89.6 at 4:20 PM but the 6 hr high is only 88.0 and thats at 1:51 PM.....what gives?

Is this the same storm that got 6 people sent to the hospital because of lightning strikes in the city?

Thank goodness.

Of course, but what I am saying is why are we using data from a Park to compare to every other official NWS reporting location which are all airports lol. Let's just use LGA from now on and call it a day.
