I'll call it the bay breeze lol they get it before the south shore of Nassau County gets it.

Interesting that 2010 is nowhere on this list.

As far as August goes my two hottest were 1980 and 1995.  Chris, do you have a list of their top August 90+ day rankings?

 

Islip beat out all the other stations in the August 90° day rankings. They finished with 7 days in 2nd place. 13 days at Newark was only good enough for the 4th highest number of days. JFK was further back in the list with only 4 days. 10 was the record there set in 2005 and 1959.

2005 was a sneaky hot summer, I say sneaky because it was one of those sea breeze summers where LGA was a lot hotter than either JFK or NYC, but they were all pretty hot.

Still cant wrap my mind around how September in 1983 had 5x 90+ highs at JFK, a record that may never be equaled (since the next closest is 2x which has happened several times.)

#3 in July and #4 in August.

Don do you see a break from tropical activity for the east coast after this storm blows through?  Maybe we wont see any more up here, just like we didn't after August last year.

It will depend how active the tropics are. The pattern could again become favorable for U.S. landfalls around and after mid-September.
