We have been bone dry here, other than the immediate north shore coastline. We had a decent July, but nothing since the last week in July

Looks like some kind of boundary is over us-seabreeze/outflow. If only something can fire on it. I think I heard thunder a minute ago. 

Hottest it’s been so far here. 95/76/109. 

Dark clouds to my north but the showers are likely headed to my east.

What station is that?  Curious of the location

A Wunderground station that looks like it’s near Jackson Ave. Its down to 94 now but there were a few stations in that area in the upper 90s. 

Syosset 100 now. Crazy how 20 minutes or so south in Jones Beach it’s upper 70s. 

Ambrose Jet must be picking up. Long Beach down to about 80. Jones Beach only 77.

Here-94/76/107. 

Glen Cove 100, Woodbury 98. About as hot as it gets here. 

ISP 94, HI 106. 

Sooo glad we’ll be rid of this soon. 

Roosevelt Field hot spot once again. Temps in that area-Garden City to Uniondale in the upper 90s. 

East Williston 100. 

93/76/106.

We’re paying now for all the onshore flow days over the last couple months. Helped the waters warm up to around 80, and now the seabreeze just makes things worse unless it’s an Ambrose Jet.

When it’s this hot this early I’d say 100 is possibility outside of the normal hot spots.

If we keep this more westerly wind component today, it will easily be 95+ away from the beaches. 

92 already. Today’s gonna be a scorcher.

The higher resolution HRRR has a high of 99° north of the LIE today ahead of the sea breeze front. 

 

Blechhh. But it’ll feel just as disgusting if it’s 95/70 vs the 90/75 it’s been around here.

The usual warm spots will reach 95°-100° today before the scattered thunderstorms arrive this afternoon.

Might actually be a hotter day here near the coast than the last few because of a more westerly component to the wind. Hopefully this isn’t yet another dry frontal passage. Be thrilled if you see anything more than a brief shower that wets the ground.

Our air temperatures may be a bit cooler out here and we may have a stronger breeze, but we make up for it with the higher humidity and dew points. Places that are hotter usually have more drier air mixing down as well.

I'm at 86.5/76.8 ... temp/dewpoint

 

 

For sure. 90/75 which I have now is 101 heat index. 98/65 is also 101 heat index. It’s atrocious outside. Last evening wasn’t terrible with the breeze once the sun set.

looks like that trough will finally give us our rubber band snapping deluge

Maybe in the meantime we can all aim our A/C’s and fans upward so this disgusting humidity can condense and form T-storms? It’s always a matter of time here before the drenching comes but the sooner the better lol.

Three record highs at Boston during the last several days as the Gulf of Maine extreme  marine heatwave continues. 

 

 

 

There must be a downslope component as well when winds are SW. There’s a hilly/elevated area to the SW of the city where Blue Hill is.

Almost had some rain here but again it just died and moved near me but not over me. I shouldn't lie, I may have gotten enough rain to make the car tops a little wet.

I had 4-6 drops here. All it did was make the humidity worse.

Very light sun shower here, just enough to pump up the dewpoint to 77

Happy sweat soaked birthday. 

89 here. Disgusting/atrocious.

Based on current satellite, radar and soundings not going to be any meaningful rainfall today across the area.  Maybe a few small pulse storms that will come and go quickly.  Another dry day.  Really starting to suck.

Starting to? 

92 here. 

South shore drought lives on, storms had no chance once they reached the sea breeze. That plus losing the daytime heating killed it. We need a more organized synoptic system to get the rain where it’s needed. Not a drop east of the Verrazano. 

Up to 91.

Snowfall for us always comes down to how much blocking we get. Models aren’t very good at forecasting blocking beyond 1-2 weeks unless we get a major SSW. So we often have to wait until winter starts to get an idea of how the blocking and snowfall situation will work out. The weird thing about this rare 3rd year La Niña is that it didn’t follow a strong to super El Niño like after 72-73 and 97-98.

The weird thing about it, says L’Heureux, is that this prolonged La Niña, unlike previous triple dips, hasn’t come after a strong El Niño, which tends to build up a lot of ocean heat that takes a year or two to dissipate¹. “I keep wondering, where’s the dynamics for this?” says L’Heureux.

I wonder if this is related to the multi decadal PDO/PNA cycle which has likely gone to the negative state? Unfortunately we’re due for a lousy late 90s like stretch of winters. And likely amplified by the warming climate. We actually lucked out last winter especially on LI with the good January. But as long as this Nina sticks around, there’s a greater likelihood that we see inland tracks and lousier outcomes here.

Awful. And the mosquitoes and yellow jackets are out in force. 

Yep. No mosquitoes would be the one silver lining of it being dry like the south shore.
