Assuming Saturday's 90+, that will make 15 days of 90F for me. High thus far was 96.4 today.

Today was number 9 for me. Could have 7 consecutive, from today through Saturday, which would put me at 15 on the season.

This is the type of regime where EWR and LGA will break away from the pack in terms of 90F days. I had 3 from 7/5-7/7 and the past two days have been mid/upper 80s. Tomorrow looks like another borderline day.

Agreed. Looks like today blowtorched right to the coast. JFK put up an impressive 93. Also hit 93.2F here. 84.0 right now! We'll see how high we can keep temps tonight. Pool's at 87 now with these warm minima.

First official heat wave of the summer for most will be 7/5-7/7.

I've got a feeling (that tonight's going to be a good night) Central Park will be pulling some 89F highs in the next several days given the enormous amount of rain lately. We may see a few days where EWR tops out at 92-93F and NYC is 89F. Going to be close.

Eeesh, TEB is ridiculous; starting to become the new EWR, hitting 90F with such ease. I hit 86F early on then fell into the low/mid 80s by late afternoon.

I hate when I'm this close and don't make it. 89.4F so far today. All I needed was 0.1F more for the official heat wave. 91 Monday, 91 yesterday. I was 87 Sunday.

Wow Unc, you're tough with that A/C. If I followed your > 70F minimum policy, I'd only turn on the A/C about a week a year.

I see a maximum of 85F in the park.

91 here, probably would've made 92 if not for the anvil clouds.

Day 3 of 90F+ here. Most sites fairly close thus far. NYC pencils in 3 consecutive 90s. We'll see if they keep neck and neck with EWR this year. I'm thinking an average summer temp wise, my guess for 90F days would be the following. NYC: 15 EWR: 22 LGA: 19 JFK: 11 IMBY I'll go 17, which would be lower than the past 3 summers.

Here's our calls from back in May Tony. I was close but you darn near nailed it. Props for those numbers. I thought I would've had NYC on the dot but this week messed it up by a couple.

That New Brunswick number is also very impressive in comparison to surrounding towns. I've got 21 days, just 15 miles or so SE of NB.

Agreed, especially at our latitude, where we have plenty of borderline 90F days, a mere 500ft elevation change can make a big difference. For example, Allentown PA averages 16 days, at an elevation of 390ft. Pittsburgh PA, at about the same latitude as CNJ but an elevation of 1200ft, averages 8 90F days. So I'd say that folks at 700-800ft elevation in the hills of NNJ likely average around 12 days as you said. 500ft probably around 14. The difference is pretty significant w/ a 500-1000ft increase at this latitude. IMBY, I only hit 84.4F today with clouds from 12pm onward. 21 days of 90F thus far; we'll see what tomorrow can do. Looks like many close-calls in the near future. No extreme heat on the horizon, continued muggy and stormy.

The spread between you and I continues to grow exponentially... 21 days of 90 here.

Yeah, I would say most are averaging around 18-23 days of 90F so far, only the hottest places are approaching 30. I'm at 20 here in CNJ. PHL I don't count as our area, and EWR is the only NYC station above 25 right now. When taking NYC, LI, SW CT, NNJ, S NY, and CNJ into account, we're probably around 20 days, with the coolest locations close to 10 and the hottest near 30.

I'm not sure if we'll be cooler than June and record a below avg month, but I do think we're looking at essentially near normal month (probably 0 to +1).

We certainly had that very hot week in mid July, but for the 19th-27th period, Central Park accumulated a -15 departure. Today, the 28th, will probably be recorded as a -2 given the 80/70 day, and the last few days of the month look near normal. So actually the period July 19th-31st will end up below normal, and it was a significant turnaround from the very hot July 1st-18th period. 19 76 68 72 -5 20 72 61 67 -10 21 78 61 70 -7 22 83 65 74 -3 23 86 71 79 2 24 91 74 83 6 25 85 67 76 -1 26 88 68 78 1 27 87 71 79 2

Looking forward through the next couple weeks, I honestly don't know when the next 90F day will be. Looks troughy with near normal temps for the most part in the NE CONUS. Plenty of convective activity w/ a southerly flow. We may make it to the middle of August with only a couple 90F days. Of course, by the end of the month it becomes more difficult to attain 90. My numbers from May will probably be a bit too low, Tony's probably look better (30/20), but we'll see, August looks like a high min/normal daytime temps type of month.

The park's starting to fall behind me now; we were neck and neck. 90.1F high here today, giving me 18 days of 90F or higher. Had 4 this week, with an 87F on Wednesday splitting the heat. My average for a year is 18, so above normal is obviously a lock. September most years yields anywhere from nothing to maybe 2 or 3 if it's a hot month. Climo wise, 90F chances drop off considerably post August 25th, so we've got about a month left. Can't believe it; summer goes way too fast. I always say, once 4th of July hits, it's all downhill from there (seems to go much faster).

Today was #16 here. 9 days for the month of July. Will be interesting to see what August holds. My thinking is we'll be warm/humid/wet with increased moisture via bermuda high and southerly flow. Probably a warmer than normal month but nothing more than +1/+2.

Maybe. I said sparse, not that we won't see anymore this month. There should be more resistance in the Northeast the last 10 day of the month compared to what we've seen.

LGA is the warmest location in the Eastern US right now.. http://www.weather.c...ures_large.html Often times parts of GA and SC have frosts before LGA. One helluva UHI.

Halfway through meteorological summer, and if the rate of 90F days were to continue, we're looking at an above normal amount of 90F days for all sites. Will be interesting to see how the second half of summer compares to the first. We'll tack on a couple more 90F through Wednesday, but then it looks fairly sparse the rest of the month to me. Day 12 here today, neck and neck with NYC.
