Wow thanks, I didn't realize Newark had reached 100+ that June. From what I recall 1988 was more of an inland summer, right? Where coastal areas never got to triple digits but just inland did? For the entire summer I dont recall any of our NYC airports or the Park reaching 100. Also impressive is in that 1988 heat, Bismarck stayed in the 70s at night consecutive nights, that must be rare! Do you think today could top yesterday there? How do the temps always seem to exceed the forecasts? I thought it was "only" supposed to get to 101-103 there. Is it because of how dry the ground is?

I loved 2010, the heat came early and often

106 at Bismarck a week after they had snow? How many places in the CONUS have gone from snow to 100 in a week? I think Denver did that last September?

Wow, thats the same record maximum as Central Park, which was set in the peak of the dust bowl in 1936. Does that location have records that go that far back? I wonder how hot they were back then?

Probably especially in this era of deluges.....speaking of which we got barely any rain here today, more bark than bite (bark being thunder and lightning lol). The part that confuses me is that the radar looked really good for the south shore, so where did all the rain go?

I'm thinking once the solstice happens things will dry out nicely for the rest of June and most of July, with getting into a wetter pattern again in August with tropical activity. We just need a two week stretch of dry weather and I think we'll get that. Similar to 2011. Remember that was one of our wettest years but we still topped 100 in late July. (Happened in 1983 too.)

I predict within a decade or so, portable carry on air conditioners will become common. We'll all be carrying our portable cooling units with us everywhere we go.

100 degrees now hopefully much more likely for coastal areas in July. I see this summer is being compared to the Dust Bowl era because of drought and extreme heat combo.

awesome, the Dust Bowl era is back

This is being compared to the Dust Bowl era with the drought in the Great Plains and the extreme heat. Thoughts?

Note the records are from 1988 that was also the last time Bismarck ND had consecutive days of 100+

Chris did you read about 10% of the Giant Sequoia on the planet being dead because of the big wild fire last summer? Also, the last time Bismarck had back to back days of 100+ was back in 1988.

The sea breeze issue at JFK is interesting, sometimes JFK attains the highest temps despite it, because temps rise so quickly in the morning that they reach 90 before noon. The same happens here, I think because all the tightly packed homes block the sea breeze lol

It's very easy to objectively analyze this. FOIA allows us to uncover who takes how much money from the fossil fuel cartels in political donations (aka bribes). Turns out that most of them are republicans, along with a few hybrids like Manchin who lives in coal country.

I'm telling you right now if the forecast is for 90 at Central Park it will never happen. The forecast has to be for 92 or higher there for it to actually hit 90. 90 at JFK is more likely, especially if the sea breeze holds off until after 1.

oh thats disappointing, so no 90 degrees through this entire stretch at JFK? This isnt really much of a heatwave then

bugs also disappear when it's very hot and dry.....I'd much rather have that

sounds like you're worried about being "canceled"

Conservatives stopped caring about science and the environment as soon as they started taking large bribes from corrupt corporations.

you dont think corporate "scientists" who work for the fossil fuel cartels have their own self interests? I dont trust them as far as I can throw them, they're as bad as tobacco "doctors"

Yeah, and really big storms too and triple phaser snowstorms. Makes New England seem like Atlanta Anywhere from Moncton, New Brunswick through Halifax, Nova Scotia up to Labrador is good. Also, nice tropical season so you get the full east coast experience. Isn't that far from NY either.

wtf. I thought those peckerheads only ate insects and worms? I have a lot of them too. Cover everything up with netting

Time to put some netting on those plants..... They need to stick to worms.

Halifax, Nova Scotia. Great night life too.

I think Chicago being so dry is telling and might be more of a reason for us to hit 100 degrees in July than anything we get around here. It can get to 100 in a hurry here regardless of soil moisture conditions in July if we get the right wind direction (1983 and 2011 are cases in point.) and some of our biggest heatwaves actually come from the Midwest.
