Yes, an excessive heat warning should have been issued.

I dont think most offical reporting stations meet the criteria. I suspect unoffical measurement in a backyard or something similar maxmize the dew point potential in a way a barren mostly concrete airport does not. Central Park could but they dont have the heat to match the humidity.

JFK, FRG and ISP all had 103 earlier, i presume even higher between hours, and they are further south than me. No doubt in my mind much of Western/Central LI were over 105 for a time today.
