Are almost all of these fake midnight highs?

Your article from which these pics came from has a line that supports my position: "In Wales, a 10-year study looking at the presence of anxiety and depression in 2.3 million medical records, found that the greenest home surroundings were associated with 40% less anxiety and depression than those living in the least green areas." We aren't meant to live piled up on top of one another.

What sucks is living on top each other is not healthy. People underestimate the psychological damage constant noise does to a human for example. Air pollution will be worse no matter how "clean" a city gets compared to suburbs/rural. For people, I think overall it's much better to live on that half acre lot than living like an ant colony. For the planet obviously it's better if people concentrated in as few urban centers as possible and left everything around alone.

Growing up and spending summers in Greece I would visit my grandparents that lived JUST outside a small town (population ~5,000.) At the edge of the village/town it would turn into fields of open land and about 500 meters into the fields was my grandparents' home. Walking back from the town at night toward the house I could EASILY feel the temperature drop by several degrees once I would get to the edge. It was like walking into an air conditioned room. So I have first hand experience of a village or small town causing an obvious UHI even though people think a population center that small would be too insignificant to cause such an effect.

The illness you suffer from is a mental one, not a physical one lol

The GEMLAM is broken. Even at 6z it showed temps of near 90 in Queens and Nassau at 2PM! Meanwhile we're in the upper 60s to low 70s.

I think going forward the only realistic way this happens is if we get these June heatwaves. With the warmer planet and warmer water it would be hard to get into the 60s in July following a major heatwave, but in June when the water isn't as warm yet it's more realistic, CAA not so much but still more likely in June rather than July.

Still 70 here, models like to overdo highs on days with backdoor coldfronts and cloudy skies.

0Z Euro for 2PM: No way this verifies

Many models yesterday had a stripe of mid 80s for 2PM today in NYC and western LI because they showed temps never really dropping below the upper 70s. Needless to say they all busted pretty badly.

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
