Yeah, it’s getting to the point where the seabreeze just makes it feel worse. With the amount of southerly flow this year the water will be quite warm in a couple weeks.
-
Wow you’re baking. My nearest stations are 90-92. Might be worth a drive later to Robert Moses where it’s in the mid 70s.
-
Absolutely hideous today. My closest station is at 90 which may be accurate since I live near the top of a hill east of Rt 110.
-
Overshooting hot air masses are the norm these days.
-
Just gross/disgusting today. This can go away pronto.
-
On the immediate shore yes, but the strong southerly flow will help the water warm up faster (offshore hot winds actually cause upwelling and cooler water). If the highs are 92-94 a little bit away from the water as shown on that map, that would lead to over 100 heat indexes with the humidity.
-
Yikes…. Since we’ll have the onshore winds, heat index could get over 105 even in coastal areas where temps are lower but higher humidity.
-
Towards the end of the Euro run the ridge flattens a little which is when temps might really go up. The steep ridge means the hottest temps shoot north of us and we get somewhat milder temps but awful dewpoints.
-
Makes me want to vomit.
-
Today’s a beauty. 75 this afternoon and not a cloud in the sky. Doesn’t get any better in the summer. Enjoy before the disgusting humidity comes back with the ridge.
-
Crazy how frequent these overshooting heat events are getting. Lots of 88/74 type days ( where I am) coming with that ridge. The ridge seems to flatten by the end of the run so maybe the strongest heat shifts south by then.
-
Dew point went way down and we finally have rain. Go figure. It does feel like fall.
-
Temps can get into the 80s in October and the highest daily temp averages are in late July.
-
Typical. We’re in the time of the year where we pull teeth to get any decent precip event on LI.
-
Cases are ticking back up in the UK where this Delta/India variant is taking off. Since they have about the same vaccination rate as we do, it goes to show that we’re not out of the woods for future spikes.
-
I woke up early to try to catch the eclipse but unfortunately it was too cloudy here to get a good look.
-
The temps are higher in NJ and inland areas than out here oftentimes but later in the summer the humidity can more than make up for it with how warm the ocean’s been the last few summers. It’s been to the point where in August when the water gets near 80 the seabreeze makes it feel worse not better when it kicks the humidity up.
-
92 here. Gross.
-
Yep. Pathetic. Marine layer always decides what makes it east of Queens in the summer.
-
First of probably many this summer. Steambath days with the T-storms collapsing just west of you are the worst.
-
Total steam bath today. I was just outside for 15 minutes and drenched in sweat. Current temp 88.
-
I don't have a height anomaly map in front of me but the high/ridge orientation is further north than usual which drives the heat further north-from the Midwest over top of our area. 850mb temps in this airmass are actually highest over Quebec.
-
When they were warmest today they had a west wind. Downslope probably has something to do with it. Same mechanism as what heats up places east of NYC with west winds.
-
This is also an “over the top” hot airmass where the worst of the heat (relatively) goes north of us, which is becoming more common. Notice low to mid 90s all the way to northern ME. Boston was also about 5 degrees warmer than us.
-
My mother just called telling me how gorgeous it is in Long Beach today. Wunderground stations there are at about 70 (Jones Beach to Captree in the upper 60s) while here it’s near 90. Not quite as horrible as yesterday but still a scorcher.
