Note: They also reported a third yesterday, so that's up to at least 5 from this system. Coupled with the 6 earlier in the month, that's a pretty hefty number. Fortunately, nothing too strong.

Especially impressive for daytime highs with several locations having a record hot first 2 weeks of June, including Islip and Newark. Looks like a little break coming in, but I do not think we are done with heat. Personally, I think these summer cancel calls are way too early.

Just a heads-up, as I’ve seen this chart making the rounds:

I meant for an entire summer month.

Can you imagine if we ran a full month of +9F? Wow!

This doesn't strike me as anything too cold. About time for a little cooldown after this epic torch of a start to summer. Look at these forecast departures & percentiles for average daily high temps for the 1st half of June - unbelievable!

Looking at Newark and using the expanded records [back to 1843], we see the current record is 86.5F from 2008 & 1984 [excepting the 3 higher years - all of which are based on only a single date's worth of data]. This brings the EWR average up to 86.6F by Monday - incredibly impressive.

Incredible @bluewave! Was it supposed to be this hot? Just an incredible start to summer for the summer lovers. This shows the projected ranks for average high temperatures for the first half of June [using observed values for 1-11 and forecast highs 12-15]. Top 5 heat all over, record heat at Newark, NJ and Concord, NH. It has certainly been a very solid start to the summer season.

This is what IEM has for mean hourly dewpoint in the summertime for BOS.

For a certain segment of weather troll community, 95F and 70F dews is "just summer" and actual "just summer" weather is hyped up as the next coming of the year without a summer.

Air conditioning makes a big difference too. We didn't have it back then and it was tough but bearable. You couldn't do that today in most places.

So absurd, most places have seen mean high temps in/near top 10 warmest on record for first decade of June. Philadelphia - 5th warmest; Providence, RI - 3rd warmest; Newark, NJ - 9th warmest. But Central Park is at 36th warmest. Closest analog is Worcester, MA at 23rd warmest, but their station thread includes decades from a station hundreds of feet lower in elevation.

It has certainly been a solid first decade of June for summer weather lovers in the northeast IMHO. Many places are in the top 10 for mean maximum temperature - including Caribou, ME (5th), Concord, NH (4th), Providence, RI (T-3rd), and numerous other sites around the region. Would expect these to trend even higher. Was it supposed to be cold or something?
