What I have noticed on many occasions is that the NYC temperature seems to hit a wall at about 1pm or so capping any further rise. This occurs during various synoptic scenarios and has nothing to do with the onset of a sea breeze. Here, for example, at noon, NYC is right in the thick of things. By 4 pm, however, NYC is only 92 (daily high) while almost every other station, except ISP and JFK with their sea breeze, are 3 or 4 degrees higher. Just look at the hourly readings and you will find that this happens on a majority of days.

I think the sun gets lower behind the trees and in a general sense skyscrapers cast large shadows blocking some sun from reaching the ground. Esp when comparing to wide open expanse of an airport getting every available min of direct sun.

Probably not something you want to hear if you're hoping for a cold, snowy winter.  

Today feels okay and the lower late summer sun angle does make a difference (equivalent to April 12).

Following the brief -NAO/-AO start warming interval, the NAO swung back to record positive levels. Remarkable shift from record negative Jun 2009-Mar 2013.

RWTT is unchanged for the next 90 days from the current arrangement of anomalies.

SON is going to be +2 to +3 across the nation, except maybe the southeast, if something does not change.

90 will be possible till the astronomical end of summer, with bad luck.   The first 90-degree day in Oct. in 77 years is more likely now than a cold winter.

My electric bill for KWH used to cool my house with 5 AC units will be around $800 for July and August; highest ever.

Again, that goes back to the warm nights more so than the days. My AC has been working overtime at night and it didn't used to be that way.

My thermometer on my truck which is relatively accurate was 92 leaving Jones beach about an hour ago. One of the hottest days on the beach in a long time with a NW wind.

I knew I should have come down today. Hopefully next Wednesday is nearly as good. What are the water temps like in the bay? I bet it's pretty warm if a north wind isn't moderating the beach temps somewhat.

You did not want to be at the beach today. The north wind brought an incredible ammount of black flies which bite. It was unbearable. Pretty much everyone that came down quickly left. The worst I have seen in 20 years guarding. 

Water temps were cool today with upwelling a dark green/brown and upper 60s. The past week they were in the upper 70s and almost turquoise on the onshore wind.

SST shot up close to 80- on an off-shore wind ironically- which normally results in cooler up welling.

It looks like the winds out there were too light to cause upwelling.

92/77 today.

Heat wave: 91/71, 94/73, 94/75, 92/77

If this 77 degree low holds, it’ll be the warmest of the year. I’ve had about 3 other 77-78 degree morning lows this summer but none of them survived. Current temp is 80.
