all stadiums should have removable domes at this point, with all the money the Yankees have I can't imagine why they'd skimp on a 150 million dollar add-on.
-
The same was the case in August 2011 too. It really was July when the heat peaked and did so in a historic way (In July 2011 especially.)
-
ah they are worried about people stealing the instruments (hence the fences.)
-
But the instruments belong to the NWS no? They should be able to move them to wherever they want them to be?
-
Why don't they just move the equipment to where it was in 1993 and prior? I would put it right in the middle of the Sheeps Meadow.
-
add JFK and it's even more apparent.
-
Chris if we just go decade by decade, and compare NYC, JFK, LGA AND EWR, how do they all compare for the following 10 year periods with average number of 90 degree days: 1980-1989 1990-1999 2000-2009 2010-2019
-
the moon was gorgeous last night too!!
-
1999 and 2002 still had no problems getting extended heatwaves though. 2010 should have the record for most 90 degree days though, it was our hottest summer by a mile.
-
Yes, those were the last ones with extended heatwaves. That NWS longest heatwaves page is a great guide to how our summers used to be. We didn't see extended heatwaves like that even in 2010 although it had the most 90 and 100 degree days I've seen.
-
They don't have the money to cut it huh? I still don't see that heatwave from 1953 or 1993 ever being equaled. 102 in September is absolutely unreal lol.
-
Isn't this the same pattern we had in the winter?
-
Yes, it was in the 90s even inside my house. I remember that day it hit 102 in the city and 101 at JFK, it was the third straight for the city and second straight for JFK, on a Saturday, and the sun looked orange. My dad was gardening outside and when I went out there with him, I asked him how he could garden with no breeze and an orange sun beating down lol. I woke up at 9 am it was already 92 degrees at 9 am at JFK, that's how I knew we were in for a historic day.

This 11 day streak does not even include the back to back days of 101 after July 4th !! And the other one is in 2002 when we had an 8 day hot streak followed by a 9 day hot streak 6 days later !! 1977 I remember because of the big blackout, 9 days 90+ and 3 days 100+ including a 104 !! I really wish I was around in 1953 to see two monumental heatwaves, a 7 day and a historic 12 day heatwave with a total of 4 days of 100+ including a 102 in September the all time record !!

Look at this, I'm privileged enough to remember these summers. 1993 had the hottest period of my life time. It was the first summer I started using air conditioning here. Look at this absolutely amazing streak of 10 days of 90+ and 3 days of 100+ something I am reasonably confident we'll never see again in our lifetime. The amazing thing about the last two days of the 1993 streak is they happened AFTER a cold front had passed through. 90 and dry actually felt COLD https://www.weather.gov/okx/heatwaves Longest Heat Waves - 90 degrees + in a row (through March 10) Days Dates Temperatures 91,91,91,94,98,99,98,100,97,102,94,90 92,97,97,93,96,97,93,92,90,98,90 98,100,101,102,97,94,94,91,90,90 90,94,92,97,95,98,94,96,93,90 92,96,98,95,92,93,94,94,94 93,92,96,98,97,100, 102,92,104 91,93,91,91,91,94,99,101,95 93,94,91,94,92,91,93,93,91 96, 95, 95, 96, 97, 90, 92, 91 91, 92, 91, 94, 93, 94, 96, 95 98, 95, 98, 94, 95, 94, 96, 93 97, 102, 97, 96, 95, 95, 96, 95 91,91,93,95,95,100,100,94 93, 93, 91, 94, 96, 90,96 93, 93, 95, 94, 96, 99, 97 90, 93, 96, 99, 96, 100, 102 94, 93, 94, 98, 96, 93, 97 94, 95, 96, 93, 94, 94, 93 98, 100, 90, 95, 100, 97, 93 92, 97, 100, 101, 91, 90, 90

Tomorrow will be a Perfect 10, just in time for Mother's Day!!
-
But extreme heat seems to elude Newark, if you go back to 1993, Newark had a 5 day streak of 100+ and 9 total days of 100+ including hitting 105 twice. This is backed up by NYC hitting 100+ three days in a row and JFK hitting 100+ two days in a row. That's what I mean by a really hot summer.
-
How many 90 degree days did NYC and JFK have in 2022? That 49 number for Newark seems rather high and doesn't fit the profile of the other summers around it which were hotter. 1983, 1991, 1993, 2010 were all much hotter summers.
-
1983 was a genuinely hot summer, none of these post 2013 summers have been hot like that.
-
to be fair our last really hot summer was 2013, Newark is notorious for having a hot bias. Is this the same low coming back again and again? How long does it take for this thing to dissipate?
-
NY is big on hydroelectric power, that's my favorite energy source (I also love solar, you can make money off a solar farm.)
-
No, my allergies stopped as soon as the rain stopped last night, it was pretty amazing, my allergies are better than radar at detecting rain. It never happens when it snows though.
-
It got rid of the clouds and rain so it's fine.
-
Some good reasoning right here, Chris.... what are your thoughts on the increased NAO blocking in springtime, even late springtime (May).... is this a seesaw effect to balance out what we're seeing in the winter?
