  1. Thanks. I didn’t know this was possible in our neck our the woods. Also, it’s interesting to know the conditions leading up to one of the coldest nights in history.
  2. His post said 10 degrees with heavy snow, which is why I responded in the first place, I was genuinely curious, it wasn’t an “Oh you’re wrong”-type of response. I said I was unsure if I’d ever seen heavy snow below 25 degrees, lower 20’s probably would’ve made more sense. I never said it was exceedingly rare, only that it isn’t the norm, and wasn’t anything I’d noticed.
  3. You’ve seen heavy snow at 10 degrees numerous times? So most snowstorms don’t occur when it’s roughly 28-33 degrees? Perhaps I’m off, but it certainly feels that way. 25 was probably too warm though, 22-23 would’ve been more fitting. I’ve never seen snow at anything remotely close to 10 degrees, however.
  4. So it seems that it isn’t a common occurrence. It feels like the vast majority of our snow events occur with temps near freezing, but I suppose it depends on one’s location. Precip at 10 degrees is something I’ve definitely never witnessed, but we’re rarely that cold for any appreciable amount of time, if it gets that cold at all.
  5. 87 today, and a max dew point of 79. HI peaked at 100.
  6. I don’t think I’ve ever seen heavy snow below 25 degrees. I wouldn’t be opposed to it though, cold air holds less moisture, we wouldn’t have to contend with the waterlogged muck that we generally get.
  7. Alternating between cloudy and sunny here in Southampton, feels 80-ish with a strong breeze. Very comfortable. 86/78/98 at home though.
  8. August finished at 77.6 here, 1.3 degrees warmer than July and over an inch wetter. June ~ 78.1 / 60.2 (69.2) • 3.26” July ~ 85.0 / 67.9 (76.3) • 3.59” Aug ~ 85.5 / 69.7 (77.6) • 4.68”
  9. 92/77 today. Heat wave: 91/71, 94/73, 94/75, 92/77 If this 77 degree low holds, it’ll be the warmest of the year. I’ve had about 3 other 77-78 degree morning lows this summer but none of them survived. Current temp is 80.
  10. Hopefully it’ll be our fall and winter as well lol.
  11. 71 degree dew point here, a whopping 10 degrees lower than it was this time yesterday (81 degrees). Feels noticeably drier now, but this morning was just as humid as the past couple.
  12. Car reading 98 in Darien, under clouds. Edit: 100 now.
  13. Heat Index already at 100, roughly 30 minutes ahead of yesterday.
  14. 81/77/88. Low was 75. It was still 91-92 close to midnight in Queens, temp didn’t drop below 90 until I was roughly a mile into Nassau, when I got home it was “only” 81. I don’t watch tennis, but I read that the US Open has been hellish and players have been dropping like flies. Dangerous heat.
  15. I don’t blame you, it’s too hot for anything remotely strenuous. Today truly is the hottest feeling day this summer. My dog kept dragging me into the shade during our walk, he didn’t even attempt to run and he’s normally a ball of energy.
  16. I don’t know why it isn't considered the city’s “official” station. Central Park, despite its extensive history, seems to be a lost cause at this point.
  17. 91/78/106 HI has been above 100 since 9:50 AM.
  18. 91/79/108. In terms of heat indices, today may very well be my hottest day of the year. 7/01 had similar heat indices with higher temps and lower dews.
  19. I honestly wasn’t expecting the humidity to be this high. 93/81/114. Not kidding. I thought my station was misreporting, but this is real.
  20. 90/79/106. I didn’t realize it was only 10 o’clock, might be the earliest 100+ heat index this summer. Also, second highest dew point of the year with 79.2....highest so far is 79.7 on 8/02.
  21. August should finish warmer than July here, mostly due to the warmer low temps. July ~ 76.3 (85.0 / 67.5) Aug ~ 77.0 (84.8 / 69.3)...so far, will increase
  22. It’s close to impossible to get a perfect siting (no excuse for KNYC though), my station’s biggest issue is wind direction/speed, it’s rarely ever accurate due to obstructions. Down to 88 here from a high of 91. 2nd heat wave of the summer looking likely.
