Tomorrow will be somewhat milder with highs in the upper 70s. Thursday will see readings return to the 80s and the Friday could see highs in the upper 80s. A few of the hot spots could approach or reach 90°. The weekend will turn somewhat cooler with highs mainly in the lower 80s. No excessive heat appears likely through mid-month. The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +3.4°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was +1.8°C for the week centered around July 1. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +2.80°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged +1.52°C. The ongoing El Niño will continue to strengthen through the summer. The SOI is not available due to data feed issues. This could be an extended issue. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was +1.023 today. Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied near 61% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal July (1991-2020 normal). July will likely finish with a mean temperature near 78.6° (1.1° above normal). Supplemental Information: The projected mean would be 2.1° above the 1981-2010 normal monthly value.

Just as had been the case in 2019, France is being hit by heatwave after heatwave. Following June's record-breaking heat, France is again in the midst of an extreme heatwave. Dozens of July monthly records have fallen. The next 5-7 days will feature a continuation of excessive heat.

I can't say that there is a single cause. Stochastic variability, the rapid rise of the ongoing strong El Niño, and myriad marine heatwaves are all affecting the patterns and pattern evolution.

The four-day interval between Central Park's high of 100° on July 2 and its high of 69° yesterday is the shortest on record between a high of 100° or above and a high in the 60s. The old record of 10 days was set from July 3-13, 1898 and tied during August 1-11, 1933. Records go back to 1869.

As of 7:05 pm, New Haven has picked up 3.14" of rain today. That smashes the daily mark of 1.35" from 2019. It is also the 4th heaviest daily rainfall on record for July.

Through 4 pm, storm total rainfall totals included: Bridgeport: 2.09" Farmingdale: 3.23" Islip: 2.52" New Haven: 2.12" New York City-Central Park: 1.01" New York City-JFK Airport: 2.49" New York City-LaGuardia Airport: 1.01" Newark: 0.95" Philadelphia: 2.00" Reading: 1.44" Scranton: 2.18" White Plains: 0.67" Wilmington, DE: 2.17" The following locations have set daily rainfall records for July 6th: Bridgeport (1.14"), Farmingdale (2.92"), Islip (2.43"), New Haven (1.82"), and JFK Airport: 1.70". Periods of rain will likely continue into tomorrow. The heaviest rains will probably affect parts of Connecticut, Long Island, and New Jersey. Lighter amounts are likely in locations such as Central Park and LaGuardia Airport, as the atmosphere is relatively stable. All said, a general 1"-3" rainfall with locally higher amounts near or above 4" is likely across most of the New York City area. The areas favored for heavier rains will see a general 2"-4" with locally higher amounts of 5" or more. Tomorrow will be another cool day with highs mainly in the lower 70s. It will turn warmer to end the week. No excessive heat appears likely through mid-month. The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +3.4°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was +1.8°C for the week centered around July 1. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +2.80°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged +1.52°C. The ongoing El Niño will continue to strengthen through the summer. The SOI is not available due to data feed issues. This could be an extended issue. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was +0.966 today.

As of 1:30 pm, Bridgeport, Islip, and JFK Airport had set daily rainfall records for July 6. Parts of Brooklyn, Nassau County, and Orange County were reporting flash flooding. Otisville in Orange County had received 7.78" of rain. Brooklyn, Bridgeport, Islip, New Haven, JFK Airport, and Staten Island will likely see more additional rainfall than either Central Park or LaGuardia Airport through the remainder of the event. Parts of central New Jersey, the Connecticut shore and Long Island could see the highest additional rainfall amounts with additional flooding likely.

Unfortunately, the BLM site is offline. Observations would be helpful.

So far, both JFK Airport and Islip have set daily rainfall records for July 6th.

I agree. It was not. Indeed, the heat dome itself wasn't all that anomalous. That monthly records were approached and one all-time record was reached demonstrates how a warmer baseline leads to more extreme conditions even with an approximately one-in-six-year type heat dome.

A soaking rain is likely tonight into Tuesday. It now appears that a general 1"-3" ranfall with locally higher amounts near or above 4" is likely. Thunderstorms could bring flooding downpours. Highs will reach the middle and upper 70s on both days. It will turn warmer to end the week. No excessive heat appears likely through mid-month. The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +3.1°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was +1.8°C for the week centered around June 24. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +2.60°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged +1.37°C. The ongoing El Niño will continue to strengthen through the summer. The SOI is not available due to data feed issues. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was +0.690 today.

As had likely been the case during the record June 2025 heatwave, Central Park likely had two 100° or above days during the most recent heatwave. Only one such day was recorded due to Central Park's well-documented tree overgrowth. Moreover, July 3, 2026 was likely one of Central Park's hottest days on record, as was the case at surrounding sites: JFK Airport: 102°; LaGuardia Airport: 104°; and, Newark: 105°. As noted previously in this thread, I would run the statistical analysis based on the most recent 30-year period prior to the issue of tree overgrowth. The numbers are below. Since 2010, numerous summer records have been affected by the tree overgrowth. Based on the statistical calculation, below are the summer records that would likely have been tied or broken without the tree overgrowth issue: June 8 — 2011— Calculated 97, record 95, record year(s): 1933 June 9 — 2011— Calculated 99, record 97, record year(s): 1933 June 11 — 2026— Calculated 97, record 95, record year(s): 1973 June 12 — 2026— Calculated 97, record 93, record year(s): 1933, 1973, 2017 June 13 — 2017— Calculated 100, record 96, record year(s): 1961 June 20 — 2012— Calculated 98, record 98, record year(s): 1923 June 21 — 2012— Calculated 99, record 97, record year(s): 1953, 1988 June 23 — 2025— Calculated 97, record 96, record year(s): 1888, 2025 June 24 — 2025— Calculated 102, record 99, record year(s): 2025 ***New June Monthly Record*** June 25 — 2025— Calculated 100, record 99, record year(s): 1943, 1952 June 28 — 2010— Calculated 97, record 96, record year(s): 1969, 1991 June 30 — 2021— Calculated 100, record 99, record year(s): 1964 July 2 — 2026— Calculated 104, record 100, record year(s): 1901, 1966, 2026 July 7 — 2010— Calculated 101, record 100, record year(s): 2010 July 18 — 2012— Calculated 102, record 101, record year(s): 1953 July 22 — 2011— Calculated 106, record 104, record year(s): 2011 ***Tied All-time Record*** July 23 — 2011— Calculated 101, record 100, record year(s): 2011 July 24 — 2022— Calculated 100, record 97, record year(s): 1999, 2010 July 25 — 2025— Calculated 99, record 97, record year(s): 1999 July 29 — 2025— Calculated 100, record 99, record year(s): 1949 July 30 — 2025— Calculated 99, record 98, record year(s): 1917, 1933, 1940, 1988 August 12 — 2016— Calculated 97, record 97, record year(s): 1944 August 12 — 2021— Calculated 97, record 97, record year(s): 1944 August 25 — 2021— Calculated 95, record 95, record year(s): 1948 In sum, the tree overgrowth has already affected a growing number of records.

They have been delayed until 9:02. Weather conditions will determine if there are further delays.

Today, JFK Airport reached 100° for the third consecutive day. That ties the record for the longest such streak, which was set during July 2-4, 1966. Thunderstorms are possible this evening. Tomorrow will be noticeably cooler with highs reaching the upper 70s or lower 80s. A soaking rain is likely Monday into Tuesday. The potential exists for a general 0.50"-1.50" rainfall with locally higher amounts. Highs will reach the middle and upper 70s on both days. It will turn warmer to end the week.
