This is turning out to be a new benchmark for early season heat in Minnesota. https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/climate/journal/june-2021-heat-wave.html Minnesota has had many historical heat waves that were "worse" than this one on numerous counts. However, at many locations, this was the longest and most severe heat wave to occur so early in the season. It's not unusual have have several days or more of 90-degree weather during the middle of July, but it is unusual to do so during (or before) the first half of June. In the Twin Cities, where the heat-retaining urban and suburban infrastructure helped elevate temperatures even further, this heat wave has tied the record for consecutive high temperatures of at least 90 F on or before June 15, and obliterated the record for similar early-season consecutive low temperatures of at least 70 F--both officially at six straight days through June 8th. The low temperatures in particular have been incredibly high in the Twin Cities, and so even though other historical heat waves produced higher daily maximum temperatures, not have come anywhere near this one in terms of daily average temperatures. Records of note set during June 2021 heat wave: Duluth, June 4-5: earliest-in-season occurrence of two consecutive high temperatures above 90 F International Falls, June 4: highest temperature on record so early in the season (98 F) Twin Cities, June 5: highest minimum temperature on record so early in the season (78 F) Twin Cities : most consecutive low temperatures at or above 70 F so early in the season (six, ongoing) Below is a table of daily highs and lows at Minnesota's five major climate stations, from June 3 through June 11, 2021.

The closer you were to New England, the hotter the last several summers have been. A very impressive run of summer heat across the region since 2010. We never had this many top 10 warmest summers in such a short period of time. 2020 was the warmest summer on record at LGA, BDL, BTV, and CAR. It was the 2nd warmest summer for ISP and BDR.

BTV is the place to be if you like record warm early season water temperatures. This tweet was back on May 21st. Our local SSTs usually peak in July into August.

Yeah, mid to upper 90s is still plenty hot especially with the higher humidity since the super El Niño. This has been the longest streak at Newark not to reach 100°. So you can see how unusual this more onshore flow summer heat pattern has been.

The record heat last several summers in New England is overlapping the lingering cool and wet pattern in Texas since the historic Arctic outbreak.

So far this season, the ridge axis has been pushed up to the north of our latitude. This was the same story from 2018 to 2020 with the most impressive record highs to our north. This lead to more onshore flow and record high dew points. Plenty of mid to upper 90s heat with the 100°+ maxes at places like LGA and points north. Almost like a version of the SE US Coastal summer moist trade winds pattern. Those places have very high 90° day counts but not many 100° days. Our last widespread 100°s at all stations from EWR to ISP was back the 2010 to 2013 era. The ridge axis was right over the Great Lakes with a strong westerly flow pattern. Same for the July 1995 heatwave. The ridge axis in recent years has stretched further north allowing the warmest 850 mb temperatures to go to our north. That difference has allowed more of a southerly component to the flow than westerly. So we’ll have to see how the ridge axis rebuilds once we get to late June and July. June 2021 so far Peak July heat pattern since 2018 2010-2013 pattern with mid July 1995

The most impressive heat this month could be during the first and last week of June. The heat ridge backs up to the West where the extreme drought is located during mid-June. Long range EPS hints at the ridge rebuilding near New England by the last week of June. But can the 97° at Newark this past weekend be challenged then? Stay tuned….

The ridge has been getting stronger in recent years. So the warmest 850 mb temperatures get pushed up to our north. This process also allows the winds to become more onshore here. We need more of a westerly flow to reach 100° since we are right on the Atlantic Ocean. This weekend featured the warmest temperatures relative to the records going from the Dakotas to Northern New England. The early June 2011 record heat when Newark reached 102° had a flatter ridge. So the maximum 850 mb temperatures went right through our area. Notice how Burlington had the 3rd warmest June high temperature of all time vs 6th warmest at Newark.

My guess is that the actual high for this heatwave in Central Park away from the trees was 95°or 96° instead of 92°. The tree growth around the sensor became pronounced by the early 1990s. So it’s possible the sensor began to get blocked by the trees during the 1980s. The June monthly max prior to the 1980s had Central Park 1° cooler than EWR and 2° warmer than LGA. So I compared the average June monthly maximum temperatures from 1961-1980 before the tree growth to 2001-2020 with the sensor in deep shade.

NYC is much more than slightly distorted on the high temperatures. The Central Park station used to have high temperatures comparable to EWR and LGA before the trees began to block the sensor in the early 90s. Go back and look at the comparisons from the 1950s to the 1980s. As for LGA and EWR, they are right in line with the neighborhood stations in Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island. The high temperatures from the new NYC micronet stations were in the same range as EWR and LGA. This makes Central Park stand out more like a sore thumb.

The Park Conservancy cut their budget back in 2017. Now their share of funding from NYC was also reduced So they are running a deficit. As you know, tree maintenance is expensive. My area has spent quite a bit of money on tree trimming and removal with all the wind damage in recent years. Probably the most damaging decade on record for trees around our area. The tree crews are true professionals. Removing damaged trees close to houses is a real art form. https://ilovetheupperwestside.com/central-park-conservancy-faces-10-million-deficit-launches-fundraiser/ https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-05-23/nyc-s-central-park-conservancy-cuts-30-jobs-as-it-trims-spending

Tree pruning is a low priority for NYC. Maybe the NWS knew this all along. So they never really pushed the issue of trimming around the Central Park ASOS. https://www.thecity.nyc/2020/7/13/21323732/budget-cuts-raise-fears-of-falling-tree-branches Tree Pruning Budget Cuts Raise Fears of Falling Branches BY CARSON KESSLER JUL 13, 2020, 11:42PM EDT The city’s canopy of more than 2.6 million street and park trees will have to wait for scheduled prunings due to new budget cuts — a move slammed by a former Parks Department commissioner as “foolish” and dangerous. The Fiscal 2021 Executive Plan includes a budget reduction of $7.2 million for tree pruning contracts, leaving about $1.5 million for the job. City trees are generally trimmed every seven to 10 years. Park advocates and government officials, pointing to past incidents where people were severely injured — or worse — by plummeting branches, sounded the alarm over the cuts. “The problem with not pruning is if a limb falls from a tall tree, it can cause tremendous damage. It can kill people,” said Adrian Benepe, who served as Parks commissioner from 2002 to 2012. “It’s a meaningless cut that could cause damage both to the trees and to people.” After the city slashed tree-pruning funding in 2010, tree-related injury claims soared. By delaying pruning contracts, the city saved $1 million — but settlement costs neared $15 million, records show. “One bad tree limb fall wipes out all your savings,” said Benepe. “This saving is pennywise and pound foolish.” During 2010, the city pruned less than 30,000 street trees — 50,000 fewer trees than the year before. Full funding for the Parks pruning program wasn’t restored until FY2013 when the 10-year pruning cycle was reinstated. Claims for injuries caused by trees increased by 92% — from just under 400 claims to over 700 — during the period of reduced pruning and maintenance. In some community districts outside Manhattan claims increased by 590%, according to a 2015 ClaimStat report by City Comptroller Scott Stringer. In 2015, Stringer told the City Council that there is a direct correlation between million-dollar legal claims and the amount of money the city allocates for tree pruning each year.

It may take the NWS getting directly involved in the case. I am not sure why they took a hands off approach as far back as 2003. It was as if they were resigned to not getting accurate temperature measurements from the site. Before the trees began to block the sensors in the early 90s, Central Park was much more in line with the LGA and EWR high temperatures. It wasn’t surprising to see Central Park warmer than the other stations at times like the famous 1977 July heatwave. So that’s telling us that it’s just a maintenance issue near the castle. Go a short walk to a nearby open lawn or softball field and the temperatures will be several degrees warmer than under the trees.

https://www.weather.gov/coop/sitingpolicy2 Proper Siting The Coop network has provided climate and weather data for over 100 years. Consistency of the measurements is an attribute of the network, and it has been maintained by rare and/or gradual change, and established standards for exposure, of instruments over the life of the network. In order to preserve the integrity of the network, NWS has established standards for equipment, siting, and exposure. Temperature sensor siting: Do not install the sensor on a steep slope or in a sheltered hollow unless it is typical of the area or unless data from that type of site are desired. When possible, the shelter should be no closer than four times the height of any obstruction (tree, fence, building, etc.). 4 Air temperature Air temperature is temperature of the free air conditions surrounding the station at a height between 4 and 6 feet above ground level. The air should be freely exposed to sunshine and wind and not close to or shielded by trees, buildings, or other obstructions. http://www.weather2000.com/ASOS/NYC_ASOS.html Most recent photo of the NYC ASOS taken in 2013 showing the trees shielding the temperature sensor https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/cdo-web/datasets/GHCND/stations/GHCND:USW00094728/detail Obstruction Descriptions OBSTRUCTIONS BEGIN DATE¹ END DATE¹ TREES 2021-04-06 Present TREES 2017-08-01 2021-04-06 TREE 020-340 deg 25-25 ft 20-54 deg 2016-06-15 2017-08-01 HYGR 090/4 TREES ENCIRLCE/25/20-54 IN FENCED ENCOLSURE 50 FT X 25 TH 1995-06-27 2016-06-15 UNIV 050/4 CRS 180/9 H083 SENSOR 200/8 TB 220/20 TREES ENCIRCLE/25/20-54 EQUIPMENT IN FENCED ENCLOSURE 50 FEET X 25 FEET 1992-01-01 1995-06-27
