Even July 1936 which has the 106 record in Central Park finished below normal using today's fake averages. Our baseline is higher and we don't get those nice coolshots in between the heat episodes like we used to, or at least they are much more rare.

I should specify northeastern Queens

@LibertyBell is the warmest spot in Nassau in the mid 70s Northern half of Nassau and now northern Queens is now in the upper 60s too

Upper 60s are now popping up on the north side of Queens/Nassau.

Now down to 71, nice, we take

73 here cloudy and breezy, a nice change finally

Low level cloud deck building and moving west over Long Island through to NJ. 75 degrees and cloudy here and breezy

Not on laptop. I need to resize and blah blah blah. It's a pain in the ass. Before I wanted to post a cool radar loop of the sea breeze but it was 6mb so that was a negative. The image limits are appropriate for 15 years ago.

1.9mb image limit is absolutely absurd

The seabreeze is coming up beautifully on JFK radar. I would have posted it but the site doesn't let you upload files bigger than 12KB

We were only downplaying the widespread mid to upper 100s the Euro was showing for awhile there last week. I thought it was also fair to downplay the Monday highs of mid 100s the Euro had that didn't come close to materializing. It was all on its own with those highs. The storm complex for Sunday was definitely downplayed, that thing turned a day that some models showed in the upper 90s into a day that only touched 90 at like 6PM after spending most of the day in 70s and some 80s. But no serious person expected to escape the mega ridge without some epic heat. There was no way out.

Yesterday I didn't drop below 100 until almost 6PM

Down to 96 now, it's the beginning of the end.

Love Ocean Parkway

I got mostly clear skies here, not that many puffy clouds really

98 will do it for me. I stayed around 97 to 98 most of the afternoon, but looking at the temp graph from the station it looks like it's starting to curve downward now that were passed the peak insolation.

I've been stuck there for a few hours. Yesterday I had continued to rise and was also a couple degrees ahead of my current temp. I don't know if we'll get much higher.

I see 94

It says it

Southern Queens beasting northern Queens again. 95 to 97 in the north while 100 to 102 in the south.

They will always exist as long as there is a temperature differential

How inaccurate would it be if I had a thermometer about 25 feet off the ground instead of the two meters? I know it depends on daily conditions but i am asking overall.

Yesterday it was basically no clouds

You're not getting as hot as yesterday though, the atmosphere is "cooler." You already had best case scenario conditions yesterday.

I was dropping at a slow but steady pace but then just stopped and stayed around 81 or 82 the whole night.
