The next 8 days are averaging 79degs., or 2.5degs. AN.

Month to date is  +2.8[79.1].     There will be little change to this by the 27th.

A 79* high at NYC yesterday is a joke.   I got near 88* by 3:30pm.

I think it was about right. It was cloudy and a few showers. I got up to 76 but spent a good chunk of the time in the low 70s and a breezy E to NE wind. LGA was only 78. That's why I was shocked to see JFK was 86. The wind went southerly and/or the sun came out down there? It was a back door kind of day N and NE of midtown it seems. Curious how hot it gets today, need to climb nearly 25 degrees to meet current forecasts and that's with an overcast start. Not that I necessarily doubt it, but it's a ways to go.

same up here-only made it to 74 with the east winds and showers all day

This continues to be the year of the record breaking firehose Pacific Jet. The Pacific Northwest just established an all-time strongest jet stream for the entire warm season. This old record was beaten by a wide margin. It’s pumping the ridge over our area for high heat and humidity this weekend.

@bluewaveWas this not part of the reason the winter did not deliver in the East for most.  The rather robust jet breaking down West Coast ridging?

This graphic sums it up.      Normal or briefly BN incoming, Tues-Wed.     Then maybe 1-2 more 90's at end of month, for warmest areas.    Normals start down after July 23 anyway, and by Aug. 01 the whole hemisphere is losing more heat energy than it is gaining at the surface.

We usually average the same or similar number of 90 degree days in August as July. Check out Sacrus stats for the past 7 years.

What kind of impact would this have on any hurricanes or tropical systems that hit the US?

It was a big reason. The firehose made the flow too zonal and drowned the continent in Pacific mild air. We had our occasional day or two cold snaps but nothing could be sustained.
