And it’s 94 up here. 30 degree difference over 10 miles. Wild. 

After a high of 91 at 1:45, it is now down to 81. SSE sea breeze.

93° here on west shore...eastern shore now dropping thru the 80's.

[winterwx21]

94 here.

[ForestHillWx]

90.

Not to derail the warmth talk, but next weekends point and click is near perfect. Plenty of time for that forecast to derail…

Peaked at 89/73 here, down to 80/68 now in only an hour

Temp has stabilized at 82. Sharp 10 degree drop.

We hit 90 here for like 30 min lol I measured my peak temperature at 1:15 PM right at 90.  And by 2:20 the sea breeze kicked in and the temps started to drop.  Not as extreme of a drop as JFK though which went into the 70s immediately, we stayed in the low and mid 80s until around 3:15 or so which was when we dropped into the 70s.  The JFK sensors must be right over Jamaica Bay otherwise there is no reason they would drop so quickly.  Most of Nassau County was a few degrees warmer than JFK, I saw Farmingdale, Islip and Shirley all came close to or hit 90.  I don't get how Shirley could be hotter than JFK, as they are also basically right on the ocean and stick out much farther out into the ocean.

Yep we hit 90 here at 1:15.

Stupid buzzkill with that sea breeze.

Oh you held off the sea breeze a little longer than I did, I hit 90 at 1:15 and the temp started to drop after 1:20

I’m in Long Beach now and as you might expect, waaay cooler. Temp around 70. Surprisingly the seabreeze isn’t that strong. Was expecting an Ambrose Jet on a day like today. Maybe that’ll be later.

Yep most of Long Island hit 90 and that was awesome, the buzz kill came later than many thought.  Sea breeze didn't kick in until just before 1:30, but at least we hit 90 before that happened.

I hate that @%^& sea breeze.  The ocean is way cooler than normal, likely because of the cold spring we've had until now.  At least it hit 90 here at 1:15 before the sea breeze kicked in.  What was your high?

Another chance at 90 tomorrow?

sucks, we went from 90 to 84 in 1 hour and then down to 78 an hour after that.

First object of climate modification should be to harness the sea breeze-- so that we can have wind energy AND we can keep it from ruining our heat party!

In Huntington where I was, probably 91-92. My car in the shade said 90 when I left, said 68 when I got here.

It hit 90 here at 1:15 the temps didn't start dropping until after 1:20.

I hate the sea breeze but a positive of wind energy is if we can harness its power we can use up that energy before it makes here correct?  So if we divert the wind away from the coast with wind turbines we can stop the sea breeze from ruining our heat party?

With the dewpoint pooling along the sea breeze front today, we may be able to approach the highest dewpoint records for May.

 

 

Whats the reason for the sea breeze?  What was different about May 1996 (and April 2002)-- is it just down to the position of the high or is it something else?

I hit 90 so I'm not complaining, but the heat in those years was much stronger.

damn you missed the heat party.  Were you keeping track of your car thermometer.....when did the big drop in temp occur?  Were you south of Sunrise Hwy when it happened?

True, but the upper 90’s with dews in the 70’s that we do get are pretty much equivalent to 110+.

My highest recorded temp since I moved here is 99.3 in 2018, only 0.2 shy of what I’d consider 100.

ah you missed the big heat in 2010 and 2011.  Was up in the low 100s then all the way out to Suffolk County.  We were over 100 three days out of four in July 2010 around July 4th weekend and then in late July in 2011 we did it two more times and peaked at 104.

Toasty at 4:00, DP up to 72 now

The heat index at Newark today was the highest in May since 1996. Came within a few degrees of  the all-time highest May record of 102°.

Yeah but this isn't the "strong" kind of heat that lasts all day.  Back in 2010 and 2002 and 1996, the heat was so strong that it would make it all the way to the coast and stay there all day.  This time around it made it to the coast for like 30 min (when I hit 90) and then retreated.

That's basically what I was asking you, why is it that in some years you get that kind of heat and then you have other times when the heat just touches the coast and then it retreats....is it down to the position of the high?

95° 

"down" to 86° now
