I used to live next to the LIE, which was a north shore vs south shore climate battleground. The sea breeze didn't always make it that far inland, but its appearance was normally the hottest part of the day.
I watched this happen in real time today, my temp spiked up to 94 and quickly fell back into the 88-90 range. This happened over the course of a few minutes. Now I have a fake high temp for my records. Yesterday felt hotter with sustained 90’s.
