SACRUS

Depends on the area - EWR far better for urban/ city residents. New Brunswick a good baseline for those in suburbia (NJ). The reasl issue is that the media/others use NYC (central park) as the reference that skews perception. Mostly an issue for weather and historical enthusiasts. I dont think either is a sensor or calibration issue and both reflect their environment fine.

5 in Central park - distorting perception for NYC heat when used as the center point for all NYC in general.

Warm/humid Thu - Fri - clouds and more widespread showers as the front is slow to progress - enough sun could get some to 90 but very isolated. The weekend looks 80% dry/sunny warm/humid mainly 80s, some to 90 in the hot spots. Overall warm p hot and humid pattern turning hotter by mid month. Storms/showers look persistently to form and keep it overall wettra. 7/9 : Hot / humid - storms 7/10 - 7/11 : Widespread storms, rain, clouds 7/12 - 7/14: Warm - humid - storms chances limited 90s - mainly 80s 7/15 : Overall hotter - humid and wetter

Interestingly, PHL also didnt hit 100, 4 times in that same period.

Also july 12 7/12: 99 record high at EWR

EWR hit 100 or higher except 2 day in that period 7/24: 102 7/25: 99 7/26: 99 7/27: 101 7/28: 101 7/29: 100 7/30: 101

99 in that pariod, maybe this year :-)

Think the park may get there today as well for their 5th (trailing) 90 degree day if not and other do, itll further to distort the perception for the city/mtero area. Need to take a look as TTN seems to be running cooler than surrounding sites since 2020. Not sure.

Wherever they popup will see slow moving locally heavy downpour

For where?
