Depends on the summer but average water temperatures usually peak in August, sometimes earlier, sometimes later. It mostly depends on the weather though. Water temperatures are usually at their highest at the end of heat waves.

Just combed through the data. 44025 reached a brief high of 29.1 degrees celsius or 84.4°F in 2016. 44025 never had water temps above 27°C (80.6°F) until 2016, it also happened in 2020 as well. This heat wave will bring them very close, top 3 for sure. https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/histsearch.php?station=44025&year=2016&f1=wtmp&t1a=ge&v1a=27&t1b=&v1b=&c1=&f2=&t2a=&v2a=&t2b=&v2b=&c2=&f3=&t3a=&v3a=&t3b=&v3b=&mode=sum https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/histsearch.php?station=44025&year=2020&f1=wtmp&t1a=ge&v1a=27&t1b=&v1b=&c1=&f2=&t2a=&v2a=&t2b=&v2b=&c2=&f3=&t3a=&v3a=&t3b=&v3b=&mode=sum

At least the city (Central Park) is down to 93 lol

On a mostly clear, hot, and relatively dry day with minimal haze, the satellite picks up well on the heat at the surface. Surface temperatures are averaging over 110°F in some spots. 91 here on the south shore with a sea breeze.

Insane for LGA to reach a high temperature of 97 after 7PM

The fact that live TV stations like CBS and Lonnie Quinn still use Central Park as the go-to temperature observation for the city is pathetic to say the least. Everyone knows it's too cool and not representative of the city. It misleads some people to think it's cooler than it is, thus taking less precaution to the heat. They really had people thinking it's only 87 in the city when every site around it is in the 90's except JFK. They'd be better off showing the temperatures across the area from each station

48mph gust at ISP FRG also gusted to 48mph

Torrential rain, winds gusting 35mph or so. Thankfully not worse

Getting rain now, some wind as well

This looks like it's trying to push SE, might get clipped if it holds together. Outflow boundary is pushing south & east

North shore gets slammed again. Wish those storms came SE more, hearing constant thunder

ISP holding between 93 and 95 with a sea breeze, probably around 94 due to rounding in celsius between 35 and 34 celcius. Keep this in mind when reading in between the hour observations through Mesowest. Temps should decline now. LGA is at 95 as well JFK still at 93 FOK at 91, been holding since the sea breeze came through

Sea breeze has yet to drop temps significantly, just holding steady in the low 90s, slightly above or less depending on proximity to water. By 2pm they should begin to fall

Temperatures don't fall that much if the sea breeze front comes in before solar noon. JFK and Shirley both at 93 with SW winds. FOK capped at 91 with SW wind.

Yep, the sea breeze front already moved through here, easily picked up on the radar. 92 here. Cumulus forming along the sea breeze front as well.

0.03" yesterday. Not counting yesterday, it only rained once here in the past 3 weeks which was on the 14th. I think we'll go another week without any rain here.

I'm sure the average precipitation on the north shore in July is way more than the average on the south shore, though that's just a guess based off years of watching the weather. Marine stabilization and sea breeze boundaries always keep the action to the north of us this time of year.

It's all north of the LIE. South shore been dry as a bone. The north shore always gets rocked. It rained very lightly here 3 times, added up to pretty much nothing.

Picked up only around 0.03" of rain on the south shore. North shore got all the action as usual.

Few small cells just popped up to my SW. The south shore of LI has been very dry from marine stabilization. Will take whatever I can get, which won't be much.

Exactly my thoughts lol, we know CP can't measure for their lives

Yea that was a more eastern storm too, I don't think Central Park hits a foot today either

Forgot the winter, think it was the beginning of January 2014 we had a cold snowstorm here, NYC was like 15 and snow, BOS was -2 and heavy snow, extreme high ratio storm

Solid storm, and still coming down good. Got to be around a foot, hard to tell with the drifts

Anyone else notice the effect of the salt spray on the trees? The south side of the trees in my area are dead from the strong winds
