When you're 95 to 100 you don't expect to be in the mid 80s by 5PM.
A couple models have 70s.
One of the worst parts of heatwaves in the city is the temps staying at absurdly high levels deep into the night. Being 80 degrees at 5PM is actually quite comfortable lol
I wouldn't call that normal for a "major heatwave"
Late day highs as far as I'm concerned are still a bust. Peaking at 90 for like an hour when you spent most of the day in the 70s and some 80s and the expected highs were mid 90s+ and sunny produces a total different day perception wise.
Just as I said that it shows one lightning bolt around Manhattan lol
I'm referring to our local area of course. I know that in central NY it's been showing the lightning.
I remember some type of event from the early 90s where the Weather Channel was showing models forecasting moderate snow dropping down from the north in a line. Even as a little kid I remember seeing that and thinking that was weird.
