NYC is averaging 68.4 for June so far...it would have to average 76.4 the last 15 days to be near average for the month...it could happen with a hot ending but that remains to be seen...

I was seventeen in 1966 and it was a very good year...I remember the buckling highways from the heat...1966 had three heat waves that topped the 100 degree mark...it was a very dry summer also and the decade drought broke in September...

June's longest heat waves and most total 90 degree days...2008 had a four day heat wave around this time of year... 6/24-28/1880... max...min... 93......66 94......77 91......77 92......73 94......76 ………………... 6/26-30/1901 91......72 91......74 93......75 95......76 95......60 ………………………. 6/3-7/1925 94......68 99......76 99......78 98......77 96......63 ……………………. 6/14-18/1945 92......68 93......76 93......71 93......74 92......71 ………………. 6/15-19/1957 93......69 95......76 96......77 93......76 92......73 ………………….. 6/24-28/1963 90......65 95......68 96......69 95......72 94......73 ………………….. 6/7-11/1984 92......72 94......77 96......77 95......79 94......78 …………………. 6/12-16/1988 90......61 93......69 96......71 96......74 92......69 ……………….. most 90 degree days... 11 in 1943 10 in 1966 09 in 1925 09 in 1991 08 in 1923 08 in 1945 08 in 1953 08 in 1988 07 in 1899 07 in 1949 07 in 1941 07 in 1964 07 in 1994

for now but its to early to forecast what it will be next winter...

since 1988 there were 8 years with a negative nao in January and 19 negative nao Mays...

0.07" here...I missed the afternoon storm also...just a few drops from that one...

missed out on both storms today...hardly anything imby...

there have been four years that had consecutive el ninos...1957-58, 1958-59.....1976-77, 1977-78...1986-87, 1987-88....2014-15, 2015-16...the el nino we are in now is forecast to stay the course for now...the four second year el nino summers had a hot July but June and August were close to normal...I think what we have been getting is what we will get this Summer with some nice days between countless rainy days...July should be the hottest month this time...TWT...

May 2019 should end up averaging 62.0 in NYC...the 1980-2009 average was 62.8...the new 30 year average will go up a little more...close to 63.0...2010-2019 will end up averaging about 64.3...

nothing but a little rain and thunder in Eltingville...

0.28" of rain...temp 72...

I'll vouch for that...91 was my high...

these are the hottest May days on record for Central Park...I was in Central Park on 5/29/1969...the heat did not bother be at all...I was 20 then...1969 saw the Jets and Mets win it all and we walked on the Moon...1880 and 1895 represent the olden days... 99 5/19/1962 97 5/29/1969 97 5/30/1987 96 5/20/1996 96 5/22/1941 96 5/27/1880 96 5/29/1987 96 5/31/1895 95 5/25/1880 95 5/26/1880 95 5/27/1914
