    July 2-3, 2026 is only the third such case. The others were: July 2-3, 1966 and July 6-7, 2010.

    The wind shifted back offshore and the temperature rocketed. It shows just how hot this air mass is.
  3. donsutherland1
    Harrisburg (though not in the Philly CWA) and Newark, too.
  4. donsutherland1
    Newark has reached 100°.
  5. donsutherland1
    Sunrise this morning. The temperature at Larchmont Harbor at sunrise was 86°.
  6. donsutherland1
    107 on July 3, 1966.

    There are three notable exceptions for the New York City area where 100° heat returned: 1949, 1953, and 1955.

    A short but severe heatwave will continue to scorch the region into the start of the weekend. Through 5 pm, highs included: Albany: 95° Allentown: 101° Atlantic City: 103° (old record: 100°, 1966) Baltimore: 101° Bangor: 93° (tied record set in 1941) Boston: 101° (old record: 98°, 1963) Bridgeport: 98° Burlington: 96° Caribou: 91° (tied record set in 2014) Concord: 97° Harrisburg: 102° Hartford: 100° (old record: 99°, 1966) Islip: 96° Manchester: 97° (old record: 95°, 1968) New Brunswick: 104° New York City-Central Park: 100° (tied record set in 1966) New York City-JFK Airport: 102° (old record: 101°, 1966) New York City-LaGuardia Airport: 104° (old record: 101°, 2016) Newark: 105° (old record: 103°, 1901) Philadelphia: 103° (tied record set in 1901) Portland: 96° Poughkeepsie: 103° (old record: 97°, 1966) Providence: 99° (old record: 98°, 1941) Raleigh: 98° Reading: 102° (tied record set in 1966) Richmond: 96° Scranton: 98° (tied record set in 1901 and tied in 1966) Sterling: 98° (tied record set in 1966) Trenton: 101° (tied record set in 1901) Washington, DC: 102° (old record: 101°, 1898) White Plains: 98° (old record: 97°, 1968) Wilmington, DE: 103° (old record: 98°, 1941 and 1966) Worcester: 94° Tomorrow will be another brutally hot day with the temperature peaking in the 100°-105° range. Some locally hotter temperatures are possible. Saturday will be a few degrees cooler, but still very hot. Some showers or thunderstorms are possible, especially late in the day. Sunday will turn a bit cooler with readings returning to near normal levels. Somewhat below normal readings with highs in the lower 80s are likely early next week. 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 was -1.91 today. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was +1.539 today.

    Both LaGuardia Airport and Newark hit 104° today.

  11. donsutherland1
    Newark has hit 104 while JFK topped out at 102.
  12. donsutherland1
    Newark: 104° (old record: 103°, 1901)
  13. donsutherland1
    Yes, the reading is from the Airport where it peaked at 103°.
  14. donsutherland1
    It did. Good catch.

    100°+ Highs as of 1:30 PM:
  16. donsutherland1
    As of 1 pm, the following areas have set new records: Atlantic City (101°); Poughkeepsie (99°), and Wilmington, DE (101°). The following locations have tied records: Manchester (95°) and Providence (98°). The following locations have also hit 100° and are approaching records: Harrisburg (100°), New York City-JFK Airport (100°), Newark (102°), and Philadelphia (100°). Central Park has reported a high of 98° so far. The statistical model (r2=0.941) based on the pre-tree overgrowth period has an implied 101° reading there.
  17. donsutherland1
    Atlantic City has recently reached 100°. That ties its daily record from 1966.
  18. donsutherland1
    Wilmington, DE has reached 98°. That ties the daily record that was set in 1941 and tied in 1966.
  19. donsutherland1
    Such ridges are uncommon in the Eastern U.S. No disagreement on the location of such a ridge.

    Unfortunately, that sensor is too close to the building. It's probably just 15-20 feet from the building. In general, its distance should be 4X the building's height.
  21. donsutherland1
    It reached 100° at 11 am, on July 22, 2011. Here are the hourly readings up to the 108° all-time mark:

    Select record high minimum temperatures (if they hold up through 1 am EDT):

    For the U.S., one hasn't typically seen such heat domes during summers preceding strong/super El Niño events. Such events have been far more common in Europe and Asia. However, during 2015 (Pacific Northwest) and 2023 (July-August in the Southwest/South Central) such domes appeared. Whether these recent events suggest that things are changing in the warming climate (especially more expansive marine heatwaves) remains to be seen. A sample size of two is too small to draw firm conclusions.
  24. donsutherland1
    Yes it did. It was a very impressive start to the heatwave there.
  25. donsutherland1
    Select records from today. The heatwave will intensify tomorrow.
