I dont believe in this minimum fake heat.  I dont mind it being used in the "off seasons" but minimums should definitely NOT be used for describing hot summers.  The definition of a hot day is and should be, a day with a high reaching 90 or higher.  All a high min does is simply describe the amount of water vapor in the air not really heat.  A high min means more water vapor, not actual heat.  I, as a matter of fact, strongly recommend that when we calculate summer heat we ONLY use the high temperature to calculate averages, that would alleviate a lot of problems that come from water vapor taint.

I was shivering today, this was in no way shape or form a warm day!

But just a few days ago you said:

”anyone thinking next week is going to somehow be cool is sorely mistaken”

I took note of it because I said this week would feature cool days.

So did I win the chicken dinner or did you ?

Gfs has tons of easterly flow next 10-14 days. 

If this were March/April we'd be in the 40s with dreary conditions & gusty winds nearly everyday. 

But in October it's not so bad. 

When I pointed this out yesterday, I kind of got smacked down. Just sayin

Today has the feel of a hot summer morning. Very weird

Will this week feature that “cooler then expected during a warm spell” because the temp is not going to swing more than 5 degrees that we have become famous for?  Looks like humid and round the clock 60s? An xmas eve special :/

The Pacific Northwest dealt with such extremes at the end of June. Maybe this decade will see an extreme heat outbreak here. It will even be scorching hot under the dense foliage at Central Park.

Ironically, our humidity that’s coming with the warming is working again the extreme temperatures.

54F Glorious. Water rather warm still

a top ten warm september area wide is a colder month? lol

Where did I mention September?

I’m talking about the posters calling off winter two days into January. “No snow this December” as the turkey is cooling off.

Frankly, after years of being on this forum, the technology isn’t there to predict whether or temperature trends three weeks out…and anyone that posts gospel based on weeklies is sensationalist or ill-informed.

Dont call off October on 10/1 based on weeklies that can and will change tomorrow

Little early to throw in the towel on October guys. What is it 9 hours old?

Might I add, with glee, that forecasts of extreme warmth through a colder month on this sub forum have been notoriously wrong and usually covered up with “the weeklies changed overnight” posts.

54F at 9am.

47F in SLC at 7 am✈️

With 0.25" rain through 12:08 pm, New York City's Central Park has now reached 10.01" rain for September. September is the record-breaking 3rd consecutive month with 10" or more rainfall. Records go back to 1869.

Absolutely disgusting.

Only thing worse would be that drought out west

Another warm September morning: 65F

56F this morning. Chilly, but warm wind signals change. 

Today is the first fall-feel day.

It seems in my area this season, we get very heavy rain over a 24 hour period and then very little or nothing for the next 2-3 weeks.

Its insanity.

Every rain storm does damage to my property.

Limbs down, small mudslides, leaves everywhere. I redid my patio in the spring and its already a mess.

54F

Starting to notice the first colors on the trees in Westchester this morning 

Crisp fall morning

true-we'd be looking at another 4-5 inch event if this thing had a tropical feed...new nam is very wet again just east of the city

Yeh I could see the flare up

Im glad the initial line petered out a bit. Very slow moving. Very ugly if it had more moisture

Almost the last time we had a cold front moves so slow?

That thing covered 100 miles all day long

“However, for a record 2nd consecutive day, the temperature at New York City's Central Park failed to reach 80° when all of the following cities reached 80° or above: Bridgeport, Islip, New Haven, New York City-JFK, and New YorkCity-LGA.”

All those stations are east. Hearing reports of sun to the east.

I live along the Hudson in line with CPK and we didnt have a drop of sun all day.

Also never hit 80

Should be gone after tonight.

Yeah but it’s never really going away because this is the new normal. Extended warm wet sectors. Like 55 and humid xmas week…

It’s 81 here today. 80 at kisp 

So what?

It is 9/23. What is that+5?

The real story of these past few days hasn’t been extreme warmth…It is extreme humidity and very warm overnight lows because of that humidity.

If it was September 23 and you were looking at 80° with historically normal humidity you would say it was a pleasantly mild day. Instead you’re getting swarmed by mosquitoes as you walk through soup

Very very slow moving.

Why? I would rather be warm than cold. Shorts and flip flops live on. Enjoy bundling up!

Its not that warm. Just disgustingly humid.

Glad the sun isnt out!

At this point watching these Temp/Dewpoint deviations is like watching a rain/snow line for a cutter. We know what is going to happen before it starts

It took a couple of decades to say this, but this is your new September weather: a slightly cooler August

We are no longer transitioning to a new climate…We are in a new climate in the NYC area
