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.

Geeze PHL has been tacking on some sneaky days this week. They're the new EWR. Meanwhile NYC has caught up to my 11 days due to a couple 88's here.

Today's day 10 for me. Not bad, will finish the first week of July with at least 13 days of 90F.

5 90F days here. With 1/3 of met summer basically done, I still think we're on track for a near normal season 90F wise. Probably about 7-9 days of 90F+ in July, and 5-7 days in August, would be my guess. Maybe 1 in September.

I hit 90 in late May, and it looks like I won't reach it again until late June. The next 7 days should be 90F free, but the last 10 days of June remains to be seen. Many summers feature our first heat wave in that 6/20-/6/30 period.

My guess would be very similar Tony. But just to make it interesting, I'll go: EWR: 26 NYC: 17 I suspect we'll have numerous mid/upper 80s and very humid days throughout the summer, probably a lot of near misses for many. Those type of borderline 85-90 days are when Newark can really pull away from the pack so to speak, in terms of 90F days. As I said before, I think overall the high humidity and elevated night time minima will be more impressive than big day time heat this summer

After the second line said "head in a snow thrower" I was sure it was fake. Scrolled down and looked at the picture, that was pretty funny. Those who don't have a sort of sick sense of humor probably didn't find it funny.

And I had yet another annoying 89 degree high, 88.7 to be exact. Stuck at 16 days. How many did you finish with last summer? I recorded 38, 1 more than NYC. Based on the way the next couple weeks are looking, I'd be surprised if I made it to 25 for the total this season. Usually post August 20th, the chances for numerous 90F+ highs dwindle significantly. With the pattern not looking hot through week 2, I'm not optimistic for 90F+ days anywhere near the numbers of last summer.

High of 93.0 here for number 16, really didn't feel that bad to me. I guess I'm getting used to the heat, lol. The 100 degree days have adapted me.

Crazy that EWR has NYC and LGA by 10 90F days. Is it just me or do LGA's highs this summer seem cooler/more in line with NYC than last year? Today brought me to #14 with a high of 91.3. I've had a few 89.0-89.4 degree days, and those are annoying. I wish it'd either be lower or break 90, as I basically consider 89F to be 90, 1 degree certainly can't be felt outside.

Not even close for me today, was expecting 88-89 but ended up at 84 for the high.

Neck and neck Alex, today's my 7th as well. The past couple days fell short in the upper 80s. Not surprising, borderline days I tend to miss.

Uh oh, he's slacking.

Today's #4 for me.

I've only got 3 so far, but June's not really an impressive month for 90s in these parts, July/August tend to be much better. Even in the scorcher of last summer, I had just 5 or 6 90F days heading into the beginning of July. Plenty of time to rack them up.

So far my closest was yesterday at 88F here in CNJ. Looks like we'll make it through April/May without having a 90 degree day (today probably falls short).

Yeah Alex it was probably on those NW wind days when your area really torches, that you beat me. Many of my near misses were literally less than 0.25-0.5 degrees from 90.

No doubt 90% of NYC saw 45+ 90 degree days, but for Central Park, the 37 number is probably close correct. Same thing happened IMBY in Colts Neck -- I recorded 38 90F days total, but about 12-13 days at 88-89.4. More rural areas tend to have a much more difficult time cracking 90.

I was dead-set on a meteorology major at Rutgers, but decided to major in environmental science at Villanova for a number of reasons, a big one being the future job opportunity. Environmental science is a very new major and it has a lot of similarities to meteorology, and I didn't want to veer too far from my interest. Green science, renewable energy sector, air quality, ect are all very interesting subjects and potential careers. So I think you made a good decision for sure minoring in env science; you've got to broaden your horizons and make yourself more marketable. The good thing about environmental science is it's a pretty broad field, and you can then dive into something more specific for your M.S. (which I plan to do). I love weather but I felt it was important to incorporate the practical approach as well, and that's (at least right now), the opportunities are generally greater in the environmental science / renewable energy sector.
