Quick shower popped up dropped to 84, see if the cloud breaks get here and temps rebound. Otherwise 87/88 is the high at my stations.

Central Park and areas right on the south facing waters didn’t and that's it.   Saying NYC didn’t get a heatwave is ridiculous.

I didn’t on the N Shore either at both my stations FWIW.

Both ISP and FRG recorded heat waves. (ISP hit 90 today).

your readings are too low. Maybe they are too close to grass, trees, etc. 

no way all of the LI stations, which are LIE south record a heat wave and you do not.

Your stations are too low…even westhampton and Brookhaven hit 90 today!

Of course, we go back to the Central Park monitoring station.  Seems the government never wants to listen...

88 here, down from 93.

I’ve had less sun today and got a pop up shower. My stations are fine. Both VP2 with fan shields on them. Is your station fan aspirated?  Are the stations around you fan aspirated too?  Good for FRG and ISP I don’t live at those locations.  
 

What’s even more hilarious is the Muttontown station should be hot as can be since it’s on a tripod 6’ over the pool patio stone at my parent’s house baking in the sun, yet it’s not.

Its interesting hear the, "this wasn't a hot summer" takes.   Even if stations end up below normal for summer they're still likely making the top 20 warmest summers list.   Think about that for a minute.  It's pretty wild.  

I don’t think so

 I think what makes this summer feel less hot  is the constant breaks we've had.  The heat waves while impressive have been short lived.  We had the very cold Memorial Day weekend even though technically not summer cool 4th of July weekend  and then 2 cool weeks from late July into the 1st week of August.   the hot summers I remember is the relentless  90ﾟ heat from late June into early to mid August before we get that 1st refreshing cold front.  And those hot summers were usually dry too.  This year it's 3 or 4 hours of nineties with 100ﾟ heat index before a thunderstorm cools things off late afternoon

88 to 84 back up to 87

[weathermedic]

Sun back out and up to 89. W-NW wind. Waiting for humidity to lower.

Edit: up to 91 now DP 72 Wind: SW 5 mph

[uofmiami]

Back to 88 at both stations after the drop from 84, see if 89/90 can be reached the next hour.

 The front is East of Scranton and South of Albany another nice break from the heat coming up

So it’s near a pool?

if all of the local ASOS sites are well above your readings that’s an indication your readings are off. I don’t know what else to say.

89/73 for Westhampton, that’s nasty and high end stuff for them

Muttontown is 12 feet+ away from the pool.  I have two stations (N Syosset & Muttontown) a couple of miles within each other and they are .2 or so within each other during the day for their highs. They are fine.  I don’t live next to an ASOS which are surrounded by blacktop that are not in either neighborhood. When I lived in Great Neck it was hilarious seeing LGA always warmer yet I guess my GN station was just wrong all the time then too. Seems like you can’t accept microclimates of LI if they don’t read 90+ all the time. I’m tenths of degrees away from 90 at times at both yet they are wrong. Guess I should move the stations to the edge of the properties next to the street, winter lows will bust warm but at least I can have those hot summer temps.

Maybe you have a microclimate by you. Who knows. But it’s not representative of the general area. 

my station, which is in lockstep with all of the surrounding stations (including @STORMANLIwho is within a mile from here), is located in a large patch of grass in a shaded part of the yard. my dewpoint readings may be high because it’s over grass, but the temp is accurate.

Jfk and lga both at 90. Ewr 92

Brief downpour now. Picked up .07"

Brutally hot out here, no wind and 90. Westhampton back to 90 as well. Really miss the sea breeze today. My house under renovation and we are relegated outside for meals 

[doncat]

Made it to 90° here after am low of 76°...ending heatwaves without t storms is like a cold wave without snow.

[donsutherland1]

Under partly sunny skies, the temperature rose into the upper 80s at the New York Botanical Garden this afternoon.

wow, giant swallowtails are not common in this area

My Syosset station has a higher DP than it should, probably because over grass as well like yours.  Trust me if my station was reading off compared to my other station 2 miles away, I'd be replacing it and looking to move it as well.  I even have a parking lot abutting part of my Syosset property.  It's representative for the N Syosset-Muttontown area btwn Jericho Tpke and Northern Blvd, as both stations are in that zone.  Whether the typography plays a role, who knows, as I haven't studied it.  I'm 210 feet in Syosset and 154 feet in Muttontown, as I recall.

As an aside, topped out at 88 for both.  87.8 in Syosset & 88.3 in Muttontown today.

Dry cold front? Felt better as the day went on. Side note, lantern flies are at plague level. They are definitely hitting up my black walnut this year. 

[Intensewind002]

Hit 91/69 for the high today, so officially a heat wave here in Lindenhurst

I’m in Long Beach today and it was disgusting here too. I’m sure not as hot as my place but higher humidity might even it up. It’s that time of year.
