This is why I advocate for the heliport (KJRB peaked at 105 in June). Besides the heliport, we can use rooftop stations. They would definitely be hotter than the shaded areas you speak of.

With the exception of June, this is why our heatwaves are weaker and do not last as long as they did in the 90s and the decades before then.

nice, EWR and JFK hotter than everyone else and also low humidity and deep blue skies....

Mighty hot July 1999 just getting started on this date.... Records:Highs:EWR: 103 (1999)NYC: 101 (1999)LGA: 100 (1999)JFK: 102 (1999)New Brnswck: 100 (1999) This day ranks with the hottest days ever in our area, when all official reporting stations recorded record highs in the triple digits on the same date!

If you go by decades rather than 30 year periods, our number of 90 degree days peaked during the 90s. You can run the numbers for all the locations you mentioned and also JFK. We had multiple historically hot summers during the 90s (91,93,95,99) and we have not had that kind of sustained heat since then (with the exception of 2010.)

But we should have local cooling breezes because New York City exists on islands (besides The Bronx of course.) I just don't believe that a park could ever be representative of urban conditions and the equipment should NEVER have been in a park to begin with. We have a heliport in lower Manhattan, that's where it should be. LGA is also hotter than most of the area because of how densely packed that region is and its overnight lows are always elevated compared to both JFK and Central Park. For Manhattan urban area purposes the equipment in Central Park needs to be taken out of the park and relocated to the heliport.

Just get the equipment out of Central Park and the problem is solved. Government needs to step in since NWS won't do a thing.

This might be the days of rain I saw on the forecast yesterday. Sunday might be our last good day for awhile.

The usual suspects are in the top 20, the summers I always talk about lol. Question though, why are we using 31 not 30? A month is scientifically speaking, the amount of time it takes for the moon to revolve around the earth and that averages out to 30 days (it's really 29.53 but we can round that to 30.) 1. 1966 June 20 to July 20 ___________91.97 2. 1993 July 5 to Aug 4 ______________91.61 3. 1999 July 3 or 4 to Aug 2 or 3 ____ 90.94 4. 1955 July 8 to Aug 7 ______________ 90.90 5. 1944 July 22 to Aug 21 ___________ 90.84 6. 1980 July 14 to Aug 13 ____________ 90.71 t7. 1988A July 16 to Aug 15 ___________ 90.29 t7. 2010 June 27 to July 27 __________ 90.29 (or July 3 to Aug 2 was also 90.29) 9. 2005 July 15 to Aug 14 ___________ 89.87 10. 2011 July 4 to Aug 3 _____________ 89.84 11. 1983 July 11 to Aug 10 ____________ 89.71 12. 1952 June 24 to July 24 _________ 89.35 t13. 1977 July 13 to Aug 12 ___________ 89.29 t13. 1995 July 13 to Aug 12 ___________ 89.29 t15. 1876 June 23 to July 23 __________ 89.26 t15. 1991 June 24 to July 24 __________ 89.26 t15. 2006 July 11 to Aug 10 ____________89.26 18. 1949 July 13 to Aug 12 ____________ 89.13 __ a non-overlapping 31d interval June 11 to July 11 was 86.74 19. 1953 June 20 to July 20 __________ 88.90 __ non-overlapping 31d intervals Aug 8 (or 10) to Sep 7 (or 9) 87.00 20. 2002 Jul 20 or 22 to Aug 19 or 21_ 88.87 __ non-overlapping 31d interval June 20 or 21 to July 20 or 21 was 87.10

Enjoy this great weather folks, looks like we get days of rain beginning next Tuesday?

How was it so cold in 1978? Raining all day? What was the low Chris? I don't see the high at JFK in this list, was it 65+ there?

Wow I wonder what they would have recorded on July 22, 2011.... In 2010 we maxed out in the low 100s here (three days).

1995: 19 members of a single family were struck by a lightning bolt during a Fourth of July fireworks display in Visalia, NC. A bolt of lightning struck a construction crane, crossed wet ground and surged through a fence, affecting 70 people altogether. Fortunately, no one was killed or seriously injured. It is believed to be the most people ever struck by a single bolt of lightning. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History) wow.... 1988 - A dozen cities in the eastern U.S. reported record low temp- eratures for the date, including Atlantic City NJ with a reading of 40 degrees. Fifteen cities in the north central U.S. reported record high temperatures for the date, including Glasgow MT and Havre MT with readings of 102 degrees. (The National Weather Summary) absolutely amazing considering how hot that summer became.... 1911: The northeastern U.S. experienced sweltering 100-degree heat. The temperature soared to 105 degrees at Vernon, VT and North Bridgton, ME, and to 106 degrees at Nashua, NH, to establish all-time records for those three states. North Bridgton, ME also had 105 °F on July 10, 2011. Afternoon highs of 104 at Boston, MA, 104 at Albany, NY, and 103 at Portland, ME, were all-time records for those three cities. Boston, MA recorded its highest temperature of 104 °F. (all time) (Ref. NOAA Boston Weather Events) (Ref. Lowest and Highest Temperatures for the 50 States) (The Weather Channel) over the top heat on July 4, 1911? These temperatures are absolutely nuts lol-- did NYC hit 100? 1825: A severe storm of tropical origin swept up the Atlantic Coast during the first week of June 1825 with reports of significant damage from Florida to New York City. Shipping logs told of a disturbance at Santo Domingo on May 28th and Cuba on June 1st. Gales were reported at St. Augustine, Florida on the 2nd. The Norfolk and Portsmouth Herald reported "undiminished violence" from the gale force winds for 27 hours, ending on June 4th. The effect of the storm reached well inland. Washington had cold, heavy rain all day on the 4th with high winds laying the crops in the vicinity. The wind also tore up trees by the roots in front of the State House in Philadelphia. This storm impacted the New Jersey Coast and the Long Island area as well with high winds and a two-foot storm surge. A Columbian frigate was driven ashore as were many smaller boats. The largest loss of life occurred along the Long Island shore when a schooner capsized. The entire crew of seven was lost. wow a cat 1 when it hit Long Island on July 4th, do we have a track for this Tony?? 1825 - A hurricane struck Long Island NY leveling trees and causing damage to ships. The early season hurricane, which originated around Cuba, caused major damage along the Atlantic coast from Charleston SC to New York City. Many were lost at sea. (David Ludlum) Highs: EWR: 105 (1949) NYC: 102 (1949) LGA: 100 (1949) JFK: 101 (2010) New Brnswck: 100 (1966) Extreme heat on July 4th in all the classically hot summers !!!!!

It's wild that many of these coops are still around Chris! But the one at Mineola isn't any longer is it (the one that recorded 108 in July 2011?) It would be interesting to see what they would have recorded in that June 2025 extreme heatwave.

Thanks we're one off the lead for 100+ and two off the lead for 98+ I think 1983 was the only one at JFK that had two different heatwaves get to 100+, one was in July and the other one was in August.

JFK hit 100+ on all three of those days Don? I thought it was 2 while it was 3 at NYC?

Was this adjusted later to 90 at JFK? We hit 92 here but I thought JFK fell just short at 89 Tony?

It hit 92 here -- I guess JFK gets the sea breeze before we do. What I want to know is how did Bridgeport hit 90, aren't they on a peninsula that extends into Long Island Sound?

we had a great triple rainbow!!!

What confuses me about July 1966 is that usually JFK and LGA need the diametrically opposite wind directions to record their hottest temperatures, how did they both record their all time records on the same day? And Central Park did not?

The weird thing is that the sea breeze went back offshore around 5 PM and JFK hit 102 a second time (it's like a mix line moving around in the winter lol) and it was around the same time I recorded my location record of 106.0 We had clouds for an hour too when the temperatures leveled off between 101 and 102 before it cleared out after 4 PM and the temperatures started climbing again.

damn we did hit 92 here I guess JFK got the sea breeze earlier

1953 and 1993 really stand out in this table....

By the way I think this past June was JFK's best chance to beat that 104 record from July 1966 that I've seen in a long time. Many reporting stations on the south shore were in the 106-107 range on June 24 (including mine.) It was hotter here than July 22, 2011 was, which is absolutely amazing. Do you think within the next 10 years JFK will beat the 104 they set that year and LGA will beat the 107 they set on the same day, Chris? What confuses me about July 1966 is that usually JFK and LGA need the diametrically opposite wind directions to record their hottest temperatures, how did they both record their all time records on the same day? And Central Park did not?

Thankfully. That New Years Eve storm was definitely the closest I've seen to severe weather here in a long time.
