Heat Index peaked at 130 during the seabreeze temp/humidity spike earlier.
That spike happened so fast that the high temp/dew point hadn’t even updated yet in the app.
I think there’s a little downsloping at play here too, I’m north of the terminal moraine which is over 300 feet in elevation, I know it’s nothing compared to other parts of the region, but what goes up must come down.
83/78 (HI 92) here at 9PM, I’m used to this being from Queens but it’s always a welcome surprise here well outside of the heat island. Pure unadulterated heat outside.
Just saw a flight destined for Philadelphia land at Islip. Flights bound for JFK are doing go-arounds and flying in circles way out into Suffolk, which won’t be an option soon as the storms approach.
Periodical Cicadas emerging in Suffolk. Last week I thought I was hearing the normal cicadas which usually emerge deeper into summer, but nope, spotted Brood 14 cicadas in both Port Jefferson and Yaphank today.
