blah we can already tell today wont be anywhere near as hot as yesterday was

I know a few of these well! I didn't realize it happened twice in 1983 though lol. July 4th 2010 was one of my favorite July 4 ever, it was such a dry heat that it didn't even feel like 90 let alone 100. I wish every summer was like that! I remember the one in 2013 also and I think it was 2017 or 2018 JFK had back to back 99 and barely missed reaching 100 when NYC was stuck at 95 or 96.Had a heat index near 120 both days too, which was the highest on record for JFK. 1966 and 2010 were very similar, peak dry heat and downslope wind enabled JFK to top NYC.

I thought we did and thats why we had so much snow?

Don do you have a list of occurrences where JFK has hit 100 and NYC hasnt?

it's funny LGA only got to 88 too, meanwhile JFK rocked out at 94 lol, I could use this kind of weather all summer. Hopefully JFK will hit 104 in the summer and I can say I got to experience what 40 C feels like

yeah I dont need it dry again until July when we'll hopefully be hitting 100+ on Long Island

at this rate this could be like 1966 and JFK could go above 100 multiple times in the summer

I want local NWS mets to go on strike until that equipment is either relocated or retired. the NWS should be ashamed of itself for this inaction

95 here it was amazing NYC is laughable, either retire that equipment or relocate it.

JFK can get near 100 dont sleep on how well they do on a northwest wind, it was 95 today on the southshore without any sunshine and why dont the NWS mets here go on strike until there's an instrument relocation for NYC? It needs to happen

all I can say is LOL to NYC....we have some NWS mets why dont they go on strike until there's an instrument relocation? It was 95 here on the south shore without any sun, this was one of the hottest days I've ever experienced without sunshine

wow what the heck was going on in 1906? well besides the San Francisco earthquake of course...and 1908 was almost as bad! do you have 90 degree day figures for those years?

Uncle do you have figures for 90 degree days? I feel like we had the most during the 90s....

they decoupled after the 90s

I've seen pigeons in the Poconos, they look really out of place there

Is the level of sea level rise currently 1 inch per decade, Don? And expected to accelerate?

I miss the 3 stooges! Curly had the most amazing hair

Scranton hit 90 before Philly or Allentown? Thats amazing- how? lol I think they touched 90 yesterday? What about Mt Pocono, Don?

I thought with the extended dry period we've had that would make the inland high more likely? What's been causing the high to set up over new england anyway?

Maybe Saturday too.....

whats the difference between a rock dove and the regular pigeons we see

For some reason I have no allergies on a west or northwest wind, it's when the humidity goes up that I have problems with them.

No that is exactly what we DONT want. What will it take to get a nice ridge set up like July 1993 and July 2010? I want pure heat not taint with humidity. I dont care about June since we dont see 100 in June, but July needs to be like it is right now.

I like the too little rain, 70% of the world is covered in water, use it....

90s Saturday and Sunday and again on Wednesday? Maybe even 95 on one or more of those days?
