Didn't we have sleet or snow or graupel on a Memorial Day weekend a few years ago? I forgot what year it was but before 2013 I think?
-
I wonder if it will be one of the 11 year cycle years. As you know we have had some of our hottest summers in 11 year cycles, 1933, 1944, 1955, 1966, 1977, 1988, 1999, 2010. We didn't get it in 2021 as expected, but as you mentioned 2022 would have fit this pattern too, so maybe it's not exactly 11 years but close? Of course 1993 doesn't fit this pattern either, but other factors might have been in play to make that summer very hot (like 1980, 1983 and 2002.) So the next time frame to look for that kind of ultrahot summer would be between 2032 and 2034.

75-80 with sunny skies and a light breeze would be quite perfect .
-
Don, when will the clouds move in make our skies overcast? No sun from tomorrow through Saturday?

Look at 1944, 1949 and 1959 putting in such strong performances on all standings! 1953 putting in a strong performance on number of 100 degree days. I knew we had some real roasters back then but this is very extreme.
-
wow this is so much closer than I thought..... 1944 and 1949 putting in a great performance on all standings..... 8 100 degree days in 1949 is absolutely WILD, 1993 just barely edged it out with 9 !!
-
wow thanks Tony, so 1993 still has a sizeable lead in 95 and 100 degree days. So basically you could rank them as such: 1993, 2010 and 2022 as the top three summers at Newark.
-
Thanks, so 2010 still has a decent lead in 90 degree days but 2022 has tied 1993 in 90 degree days. 1993 still has a sizeable lead in 100 degree days (9), but I'm not sure what their 95 degree tally was. There's a big separation after the top 3.
-
that's interesting, 2022 never got the publicity that 2010 did for being very hot, probably because 2010 was hotter over a much larger area. It's like February 2006, a HECS for a small area, vs January 2016, a HECS over a much larger area. What were 1993 numbers for Newark, just for reference, for 95 and 100 degree days?
-
Good, we don't need any more rain.
-
2022 was nowhere near as hot as 2010 was, which was our heat benchmark. You can even look at the number of 95 degree days and 100 degree days and we have not had anything like that since. And 1993 had 9 100 degree days at Newark, which has not come close to being matched.
-
It's not increasing in the city either. Furthermore we have not seen any of the lengthy heatwaves I cited earlier since 2002. I think if we look at a population density map, we'll find that most people actually do live near the shore-- by shore I mean Brooklyn, Southern Queens, south shore of Long Island, etc. The population density is less the further away from the ocean that you go. It's not just the immediate shore. Increasing rainfall is the major reason why we don't see lengthy heatwaves like we used to and until the rainfall goes down, that won't change.
-
Memorial Day weekend is a long way off, I could see any rain being suppressed to our south by then.
-
I read this wrong because all the really good looking girls would still go out with the guys with a Mohawk cause they've got all the money!
-
Yes south Jersey and southeast PA really need it.
-
Gorgeous day, the clouds have held off. Not going to see another one like this until next Sunday?
-
I hope and wish lol. The longest heatwaves page the NWS has up for NYC really puts things into perspective. I think NYC LGA EWR and JFK all had their longest heatwaves in 1953, 1993 and 1999.
-
it's a nuanced argument that can presented many different ways. of course it's warming but.... 1) winters are warming much more quickly than summers are 2) summer high temps are capped by the planet self regulating the excess heat by dumping it into the ocean, thus we're not getting the higher number of 90 degree days that we used to. 3) if you go by averages it does not matter either way, since mins are going up much faster than the maxes are. 4) the way I define heat as in number of 90 and 100 degree days and length of heat waves is only going up for areas well inland.
-
1991 and 1993 were two of our hottest summers on record so it's not a surprise to see we had many more 90 degree days back then.
-
That was one of our hottest summers on record, which more of them happened in the 90s than any other decade.

1760: Ben Franklin was the first person to identify nor'easters. In a letter on this date, Franklin described an experience that happened to him in November 1743 when storm clouds in Philadelphia blocked his view of an eclipse. Franklin assumed that the storm had blown in from the northeast because the surface winds at his location were from that direction. He was puzzled to find out later that his brother had viewed the eclipse with no problems and that the storm had arrived in Boston four hours later. The information caused Franklin to correctly surmise that the storm had moved from southwest to northeast. It would be interesting to find out if this was a lunar or a solar eclipse?

looks like we get a sunny Sunday though :-)
-
their wind speeds are also too low and by a wide margin
-
snowfall totals seem to be off too
-
Yes, way too much rain in the summer. Fall was very dry, but usually a dry fall is a bad sign as it hints at what the winter will be like. Some great winters after hot and dry summers 1955-56, 1966-67, 1977-78, 1993-94, 1995-96, 2002-03, 2010-11. This is a very nice list....
