Damn. Was hoping for some boat action this morning before the storms. This sucks 

Radar looks fine for going out currently. Just have to keep an eye out while on the water if anything pops up.

92 at both my stations for today.

91/74/102 here. Officially a heatwave. 

Park already at 90, so heatwave there as well. 

By tomorrow will have 12 90 degree days. Not terrible. Figure another 2-3 in August and we will be around 15, which is about average for out here

Park didn't hit 90 on Wednesday, only got to 87.  Have to wait for tomorrow.

Got me beat today. stronger southerly flow keeping me cooler at 91. 

FRG at 87/76/98. Nasty stuff

A rarity for sure, thanks to the S wind.  Helps being a little further N to get the higher temp, but it's disgusting out regardless.

93 (92.5) for Syosset & 92 (92.4) for Muttontown for the high.

91 at both my stations now:

91/70/98 in Muttontown & 91/78/107 in Syosset

Currently 90 at both my stations.

Low of 75 today. So much for the big heat wave. High of 93 now. Already hit 94 this year, weak.

Need a nice W wind on top of the heat dome, looks like we are going to get SW winds with possible storms.  That’s not going to cut it for big heat, at least along the coast.  Maybe mid August we get one more chance for big heat this summer.   It’ll be brutal regardless with DPs of mid 70s and temp in the low 90s.

89 my high, now 86 with sea breeze. I am at 5 high reading of 90 or higher for the year, expect to be at 8 come Saturday.

Muttontown is 6 90+ to date & Syosset is 2.  3 of those days were 89.5 to 89.9 in Muttontown.  87.3 in Muttontown & 87.2 in Syosset for today.

Anyone remember or know what the heat indexes were around here during the great heat burst during the summer of 1995?  This was the year 700+ people died in Chicago as HI rose to near 130 and in some cases even higher for several days.  DP's reached the m/u 80's with ambient temps of near or over 100.  To my memory that is the worst heat I have ever felt here in NJ.  I remember it was over a weekend around here and the air was beyond stifling.  Not a puff of air.  I don't think I can ever remember it feeling so uncomfortable.  Have no recollection of what the heat index readings were around here but my guess would be 108-112?  I'm fairly certain temperatures were in the upper 90's to just over 100.  Anyone else remember? 

Yep I had my U of Miami get together that weekend for incoming fall students in the NY area, was 101 on the car temp driving back on LI.

Boston the winner tonight. I’ve been sitting in Fenway the last hour watching the lightning over the monster and epic rains to the point where I couldn’t see the green monster 300 feet away.

What is hotter?

You live in a humid tropical like climate now with a temperature between 85 and 95. Rarely more, rarely less.

And it all feels very similar: a sticky, buggy, shitty mess.

The 100s you want are as elusive as sub 20 degree winter days now

Can you fly him to Texas on your next flight? 

Muttontown has .84 already

Shocked no flash flood warning for nassua, let’s see if the upton guys still follow us. This is as Harvey as it gets!

Nice setup!  Did you install those up there yourself?

Thank you.  Yes, when I was younger and didn't have kids.  Setup the orientation, etc. down on the ground and carried the tripod with anemometer attached up on the ladder to the roof & installed.  Over the years had to go back up to replace failed anemometer & replace transmitter battery.

Have the specs on a nice Davis package that I'd like but I'm not "technically" up to the task.  Also want to install the wind equipment on roof as I have great exposure.  Installed at ground level the yard is too protected.  So would need someone capable to installing wind equipment on the roof peak.

You can do the tripod mount on the roof with transmitter, so the anemometer is 6' off the roof line, though some don't like drilling into their roof.  Regardless, just make sure you have it grounded by an electrician so insurance doesn't deny any claim should something happen from lightning.  May want to ask a contractor or roofer if they can install pole with equipment attached.

Here are pictures of the anemometers on my two stations installed on the roof.

I don’t know about real heat, but it would be nice to have a brief reprieve from the real dews!

Have to wait until this weekend, Sunday, for a brief drop of the DPs into the 50s.  Might get a brief drop on Wed too, all short lived though.

At my dads in south wantagh and not a drop. This place is literally the thunderstorm graveyard of the region. Might have the lowest precip total for the month in the entire state at the wantagh masonet sight
