Yes I am claiming 2010 as my hottest summer on record based on how extreme the heat at JFK was- 11 days of 95+! 31 days of 90+! 3 days of 100+!
The 10 yr anniversary of that streak is coming up. And the streak from 1966 too.
yeah but EWR has the rep of being unusually hot, as does LGA, no one outside of our forum takes it seriously unless foliage plagued Central Park does it
too bad we didn't get another one like yesterday's north to south moving system that would have hit anyone in its path regardless of geographic location
s0 7/3 should be low 90s for everyone?
I wonder if we will get the torch we did last July (it happened later in the month last year), we were tantalizingly close to 100 (99 twice!) with heat indices at record levels, near 120.
it isn't that cut and dry.....
I remember it being mentioned here before...specifically with coastal storms that develop rapidly along the warm gulf stream waters and have convection associated with them, small hail can occur. Weak tornadoes can occur with such storms too. One winter storm that comes to mind that had small hail and even a waterspout just off the south shore was the late Jan 2011 storm at the beginning of its second phase.
