LGA: 41 (1983)JFK: 43 (1983) wild how cold it was so late in the season in 1983 and everything flipped in June and we had a historically hot summer and even September, one of my all time favorites.

Good lol
-
If you were in better shape you would not mind the heat. Humidity I agree on.
-
we need to suck water vapor out of the atmosphere
-
well at least we hold it off Sunday-Wednesday Thats going to be my Memorial Day weekend lol
-
sunny and cool for most of next week is going to be a fun experience.
-
such a nice day, lots of kids playing outside.
-
Seeing the sun out is so nice though.
-
Sounds like what happened to me a few years ago at my other house. I don't like severe weather anymore either. I had to replace the roof and my balcony.
-
it feels like they're a bit alarmist lol
-
I guess that's moderate, but definitely a much better day than yesterday. Great t shirt weather.
-
It didn't feel like it here, I felt a cool breeze with the sun out around 2:30 - 3 PM when I was outside.
-
Nothing worse than rain and high humidity. The forecast busted here today it's been drier less humidity and mostly sunny FINALLY.
-
So nice to have lower humidity today with mostly sunny skies here, I was outside for lunch and it felt absolutely wonderful.
-
This sticky stuff is far worse. I could see a return to a drier pattern with sulfate particle release into the atmosphere-- that's what the climate models predict would happen anyway, cooler and drier. But cooler and drier doesn't mean it won't return to higher high temperatures in summer like we had in the 40s, 50s, 60s, and 90s.
-
it doesn't look wasteful to me, it's being powered by the kinetic energy of humans moving.
-
Well, that's good because I hate high humidity. Getting rid of this excessive rainfall and returning to a hot and dry normal summer pattern like we had in the 90s is perfect.

Maybe we'll do what Dubai has done with installing air conditioning under their streets. https://luxurylaunches.com/travel/dubai-urban-highway.php Dubai is building a 58-mile-long air-conditioned highway for walking and cycling. The humungous structure will be powered by kinetic flooring that will harness energy from the footsteps of runners and walkers. -
I think it'll be mandatory to have various forms of cooling, I'm looking at 30-50 years in the future. If we do indeed have a Florida like climate at that point.

Not really I imagine every home and apartment will have air conditioning long before then. I imagine air conditioning will become more important than heating your home by then.

It was still a very hot summer though as it set the NYC record for 90 degree days and that three day stretch of 100+ was extremely memorable. I lived through that 10 day heatwave in NYC and I haven't felt so much heat before or since then. -
Hopefully with your projected 3C of warming, JFK and EWR will see 100 degree temps a few times every summer even with onshore flow. Do you think a time will come when we could hit 100 degrees even on a southerly wind?
-
There are places in Florida near the coast that see 100 degree temps-- see Jacksonville.

Do you think the 1993 Newark numbers might be cooked? Take a look at their 90, 95 and 100 degree numbers. On most lists 1993, 2010 and 2022 are the three hottest summers there, I lived through 1993 it was the first time I was forced to use air conditioning, it was unbearably hot. -

Yes, this is why I always say we should define normal as within one standard deviation, rather than a single *average* number. Don't get me started on that, TCC and I both hate that word *average* lol.
