Don what do you think the chances are that July averages at or above 80 degrees and we (as in either NYC or JFK) have at least one 100 degree day? Chances seem to be increasing.....

nooo it's nice to see a 100 once in awhile on Long Island makes the summer much more memorable!

lol I believe JFK has a better chance to hit 100 than NYC does.

Chris, what day will be the peak of the heat and the best chances for us here in SW Nassau to hit 100?

Looks like Antarctic ice melt is accelerating too, based on latest research around 3x faster over the past decade than the decade before. Interesting times are ahead ;-)

Think we can get to 90 tomorrow too or will we be too close to the backdoor front?

Yes I believe EWR is the most accurate now, but no one will use it for the city because it's in NJ lol.

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.

oh I missed it, must have happened just for a second lol

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

forecasts for tomorrow are a bit lower because of a front nearby and incoming storms?

didnt happen at JFK, I wonder why?

you wanna make plans to wreck Central Park foliage? we should get a team together and make it happen

thats why I love 100 and low humidity

The heat looks like it's centered in the midwest, we're mostly in the upper 80s and touching low 90s here and there.

Everyone hits 90 but Long Island, how is it that JFK cant hit 90 on a northerly wind? It's only 82 here!

China is a cesspool of pollution and corruption. I have good examples of how a government should work- like New Zealand, Norway, Finland, and a few others. What they all have in common is no dirty money in politics and swift responses to emergencies.

it's about being scientifically literate. and it's the future, and although there is push back from the older generation, these changes are absolutely necessary. The history of humanity is that it is very late in making necessary changes and that has dire consequences. Either we make the changes or nature will make the changes for us, and her way will be MUCH harsher. On the positive side, the greatest reforms often happen after pandemics and other great tragedies like this....and this wont be any different.

from what I saw, it probably wont reach 90 any time this week on Long Island and peak heat (if you can call it that) will be upper 80s on Friday. Saturday will be cooler.

in the long term it will likely be a positive (for the entire planet.) I expect a fully sustainable green planet within 2 decades and universal healthcare, with the people of the future looking back and mocking people who didn't have the foresight to do it sooner. Looks like Darwin and Nature are in the process of taking care of them. On another topic that class action bayer/monsanto lost, people think that giving up 10 billion dollars is a lot, but it isn't, it gets divided among 100,000 people who got cancer from round up, so it's only 100,000 per person and thats before the govt takes its cut....it should have been 100 billion which is the price for which bayer paid to buy monsanto, at least the cancer victims would have gotten 1 million each before govt took its cut

the necessary reckoning is actually coming from nature. Take care of the environment or it will not take care of you.

dont worry that will likely come to an end when we get hit by multiple hurricanes this fall.

the pandemic is a referendum on places that dont take care of their environment and are ignorant of science....like Brazil, the American South, etc. It's also a referendum on areas with a high population density being bad, like NY, but at least NY learned its lesson quickly.

NY is a lot better off than antiscience states like Florida, which is getting screwed over on both fronts....from the pandemic and from sea level rise. Within a few decades I wouldn't be surprised if Miami no longer exists, even if they continue their water pumping practices-- they cant keep up with sea level rise. I expect a big population rise for Orlando, people are already talking about it.

would it get rid of this horrible saharan dust?
