58 this morning. Cool feel this morning with a stiff north wind and mostly cloudy. 61 now.

Outer cloud shield from Lee over Long Island this morning.

It has been fairly consistent for eastern Maine to be feeling strong affects from lee. Looks like eastern New England should also feel affects. Still time for small moves east or west that can make a big difference. 

.02 of an inch of rain today, far less than what I expected.

So it appears the slower Lee is now, the more the shift to the west may be as it  approaches the northeast. Also indications it may slow as it approaches Maine and eventually accelerates to the northeast.. 

.36 inch of rain here. First rain all month.

86-72 here today.

Temperature dropping steadily here as the wind has switched to SSW off the water. 85.6

topped out at 94.1 here, impressive, warmest of the year.

At 1PM

Newark 95

Central Park 93

LaGuardia 93

Sometimes I match surrounding stations but yes it is in direct sun.

I have 2 stations in my backyard, one is in the shade and the other in and out of the sun. There both reliable Davis stations but the one when it has direct sun is some 2 to 3 degrees higher. If the station is near a building or house or concrete, it will also read higher. It can be hard to follow  NWS standards when the station is at your typical house with a typical yard

Hottest temperature of the year here, 93.6.

71 here earlier this morning, already up to 73.6. UHI in full affect as Manhattan is 80. Very muggy out.

93 the high here.

91 here.

73 here this morning. Looks like my 3rd day in a row with 90 plus. My second heat wave of the season.

farmingdale broke a record today but to be fair its period of record is short

It was uncomfortable today to say the least. If some clouds didn't move in, my 91 could have been a 92 or 3.

Yea it's pretty gross out right now.  I really enjoy the fresh cool air at night this time of year but I guess as the climate warms this will get pushed back even further into the month.  

Yea the cool nights are nice.

Only down to 84, tomorrow could be a mid 90s day here if we can get a light north wind like today.

nothing counts as hot anymore

Today was oppressive but 91 (at least near me) is not unheard of. If it gets to the mid or upper 90s  here, that is pretty unusual. Today here was a typical Florida summer day. To hot.

Temperatures in our area certainly are oppressive but not really extreme heat such as upper 90s. We will see what the next few days bring.

I mean I would favor a Canadian hit but it wouldn't take much to shift it further west 

Are you talking Brookhaven Long Island? Brookhaven Labs weather station has recorded 85, 87, 89 the past 3 days.

91 my high.

 90 here, heat index 103. The only thing this weather is good for is to keep the pool temperature up.
