66 /64 off a low of 59. Another amazing beach day mid 80s to low 90s in the hot spots. Hotter tomorrow and monday with upper 80s low to mid 90s in the hot spots., although clouds from the tropical storm Chantal along the southeast could get in the way on monday. Watch any tropical impacts monday evening - tuesday otherwise Warm - hot / humid overall as the area is caught under the ridge with somewhat extra variable forecast pattern through mid month which should yield wetter - frequent storms and persistent onshore component. Hotter in the long range as ridge pushes heights and stronger heat expands north and east. -

By the way I think this past June was JFK's best chance to beat that 104 record from July 1966 that I've seen in a long time. Many reporting stations on the south shore were in the 106-107 range on June 24 (including mine.) It was hotter here than July 22, 2011 was, which is absolutely amazing.
Do you think within the next 10 years JFK will beat the 104 they set that year and LGA will beat the 107 they set on the same day, Chris?
What confuses me about July 1966 is that usually JFK and LGA need the diametrically opposite wind directions to record their hottest temperatures, how did they both record their all time records on the same day? And Central Park did not?

Yeah outside of JFK/NYC which is the area he's referring to (i think) . 2010 - 2024(5) summer years have featured heat / strong heat as much as 48, 49, 53, 63, 66, 80,83,88, 91,93, 99 etc.
