Can you explain a little more about your analysis?

The analysis is a multiple regression analysis. Independent variables are nearby sites. The dependent variable is Central Park. The timeframe is 1971-00, the last period for most of the timeframe  was not impacted by excessive tree growth.  Due to changing sun angles, I created three separate equations, one for June, one for July, and one for August.  The coefficient of determination is well over .9 e.g., June was 0.955.

Tree and shrub growth in Central Park really began to block the sun from reaching the sensor around 1991. From 1931 to 1991, NYC was generally -2 to +2 warmer than Newark. This was before the deep shade during the peak daily heating hours at the NYC ASOS. Since 1991, NYC has been about -2 to -4 cooler than Newark for the years that went to 100° or greater at Newark. So it’s quite possible that the trees being too close in 2011 prevented NYC from making a run at the 1936 all-time record.

Most of Newark Airport is paved over in blacktop, one big parking lot.  So even if the sensor is in a "shady" area (doubtful) the entire area is a heat sink.

The ASOS is on a grassy area near the eastern edge of the airport close to a creek. Our local airports are similar to the adjacent neighborhoods. Newark and Elizabeth have been built up for ages like most of our urban areas.

Temperatures surged into the 90s today except right along the immediate coastline where a cooling sea breeze held temperatures in the 80s. Strong thunderstorms knocked the temperature down into the lower 70s during the evening, but the relief will be temporary. Tomorrow will again be partly sunny and hot. Many locations will see high temperatures in the 90s. Clouds will increase later during the afternoon or evening. Thursday and Friday could be unsettled as a frontal boundary sits near the region and Elsa passes to the south and east of the region.

Out West, another above to much above normal regime will likely set up over parts of the West, including the Southwest. The height of this latest bout of heat could occur during the weekend into early next week. Central California could see particularly large temperature anomalies. Death Valley will likely top out with readings between 125°-130°.

In the long-range, the second half of July and August could wind up warmer to perhaps much warmer than normal based on the evolution of the MJO. The MJO was in Phase 1 with an amplitude between 1.500 and 2.000 on multiple days during the June 20-30 period. There were 8 prior cases similar to 2021. The mean temperature for New York City during the July 16-31 period was 79.4° and the mean temperature for August was 77.1° following such cases. The 1991-20 mean temperature for July 16-31 was 77.9° and 76.0° for August. 75% of the July 16-31 cases and 88% of the August cases were warmer than the 1991-20 mean temperatures.

The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +0.3°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was -0.1°C for the week centered around June 30. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged 0.00°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -0.18°C. Neutral ENSO conditions will likely prevail through August.

The SOI was +3.38 today.

The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) figure was +1.069 today.

On July 4 the MJO was in Phase 3 at an amplitude of 1.532 (RMM). The July 3-adjusted amplitude was 1.485 (RMM).

In late April, the MJO moved through Phase 8 at an extreme amplitude (+3.000 or above). Only February 25, 1988 and March 18-19, 2015 had a higher amplitude at Phase 8. Both 1988 and 2015 went on to have an exceptionally warm July-August period. July-August 1988 had a mean temperature of 79.1°, which ranked 4th highest for that two-month period. July-August 2015 had a mean temperature of 78.9°, which ranked 5th highest for that two-month period. September 2015 was also the warmest September on record. The MJO's extreme passage through Phase 8 could provide the first hint of a hot summer.

Since 1896, 76% of years that saw Phoenix reach 115° or above in June, as occurred this year, had a warmer than July-August in the Middle Atlantic region. The ratio of top 30 July-August temperatures relative to bottom 30 temperatures was 6:1 in favor of the warmth. Overall, the ingredients continue to fall into place for a warmer than normal to potentially hot summer.

you can see it on google maps at the southern part of the airport between the runway and turnpike...across from ikea...

wow that 1977 heatwave is very underrated (another 11 year summer!)....3 out of 4 days 100+? and how did we cool down to 92 and shoot back up to 104?!  that very rarely ever happens

by the way, Chris, on how many of those days did JFK reach or exceed 100? and was LGA hotter or cooler than NYC?

wow thats strange, I wonder what kept EWR cooler back then?  Did the same thing happen in the epic late August- early September super heat wave?

As we pile up positive departures of rainfall this July in our NYC subforum (anticipating spotty 4+ Wed-Fri this week in our area), I am interested in the period of Sunday the 11th-Friday the 16th for one to three severe weather or FF events.  Details to be determined.

The general setup is a strengthening Western Atlantic Ridge (WAR) resulting in a stalled surface frontal boundary roughly Appalachians to the northeast USA, PWAT building again fairly consistently to 1.8" AND decent wind aloft on the edge of the WAR.  I could see this displacing west of us, but for now...the GFS/EC/GGEM op guidance has me thinking it's a bit easier to mesoscale flash flood in this pattern.  Thank goodness there are no TC's (so far) to get caught up around the periphery of the Bermuda Ridge next week .

Will not start this as a topic til at least Thu (8th) or Friday morning (9th), permitting further evaluation to confirm the above general impressions.

This reminds me of the Indian monsoon pattern. Record heat in June followed by heavy rains in July. It’s a Newark record for early July rain following 100°+ heat in late June.

The next 8 days are averaging 80degs.(71/90) or +3.0.      We should be back near Normal for the month by the 16th.

73*(90%RH) here at 6am, hazy blue.

Small chance of repeating yesterday's slow moving cell totals.      At any rate these will come late in the day again.

Elsa remnants will be nearby early Friday morning.     The EURO has 100% Probability of > 39mph gusts, say from CI into Nassau County.

Morning thoughts...

It will be partly sunny and hot today. Showers and thundershowers are possible during the afternoon or evening hours. Temperatures will likely reach the lower and middle 90s in most places today.  Likely high temperatures around the region include:

New York City (Central Park): 92°

Newark: 98°

Philadelphia: 95°

Normals:

New York City: 30-Year: 84.7°; 15-Year: 85.3°

Newark: 30-Year: 86.9°; 15-Year: 87.7°

Philadelphia: 30-Year: 87.8°; 15-Year: 88.6°

Tomorrow and Friday will likely see periods of rain and thunderstorms. Elsa could bring a period of heavy downpours to parts of the region on Friday.
