I am not sure about 2012 being good reference for this year - we'll see.  I was thinking more along the lines of a warmer 2024 and perhaps evolving towards years that favor a warmer-hotter August / early Aug - early Sep.  Thus current ridge may throw a wrench - its a crap shoot.  

That sounds more like 1953 which had two of our most extreme heatwaves we've ever had with 4 100+ days split evenly between both (and our all time September record of 102).

July 1993 had more 100+ days and the 100+ extreme heatwave it had in July was more extreme than the one in 2022 (it hit 105 the all time record at that time twice back then) and the extreme heat was much more widespread in 1993 as it covered the entire area-- NYC hit 100+ three days in a row and JFK 2 days in a row.  It seems like we need higher heights for such extreme temperatures than we did back then (maybe it was easier to be hotter back then because the amount of moisture in the air was lower back then.)

 

The higher heights sometimes result in over the top warm ups where the warmest temperatures relative to the means get directed into Northern New England and Canada. That has happened several times in recent years. This was due to more onshore flow here due to the elongation of the ridge east of New England. But this time it appears that the westerly flow will be more pervasive. So we’ll have higher heights and westerly flow this time. So this is why somebody around the area could see the first 105° heat ever recorded during the month of June. June 2021 set the previous all-time record at 103°.

No. The 500mb heights were lower back then. We just set the all-time 500 mb height record in June 2024 at 599dm for our area when we had the 100° heat last June. This time the magnitude of the heat and the duration of the ridge will be more impressive. Those older 100° heatwaves weren’t as long as the one experienced in July 2022 which ran 5 days.

Chris please note how 2022 is only on this list once, while years like 1949 and 1993 are on this list multiple times, they had many more 100+ days than 2022 did.
 

1993 is on this list twice while 1949 is on this list a whopping three times.  It does seem like it was easier to hit 100 back then with lower heights, it must be because of lower humidity levels back then, more like a desert than the tropical rainforest we live in now.

But was it also easier to hit 100 back then because of lower moisture in the air (I'll use 1949 as an example even more than 1993 which is more recent.)

So back then lower heights were needed to hit 100 than what we need now to do it?

I hope we hit 103 or 104 next week to tie or break the June record. If it's going to be tremendously hot, we might as well make it historic instead of just upper 90s to near 100. 

Very nice to get the break in the humidity today though. Feels good out there with dewpoints in the 50s. With sunshine and temps going to the mid 80s, this is a top 10 type of day for the summer. Perfect for outdoor activities.

Finally a free source has the 6z Euro. It looks like there's an ocean wind on Monday keeping the bad heat inland. Tuesday the winds go NW and everyone torches full blast. 

Great news.  I don't really care about Monday, maybe we'll finally have an exceptional day, not the mediocre heat of every summer since 2013.

Exactly, getting  to 98 or 99 is as annoying as a 98 or 99 on a test.  100 is perfection in both cases, so that would be ideal.  105 for extra credit lol.

Apart from time series comparisons is the issue of comparing NYC weather and climate with other locations and regions and also describing NYC summer weather characteristics to the general public. In the interest of simplicity, summer weather is frequently measured by the number of days which exceed 90 degrees while other factors, such as high minimum temperatures, are basically ignored. Recently, a top meteorologist at a leading weather service provider was giving his summer forecast and it was based on the number of 90 degree days. If I remember correctly he used 16 days as average for NYC while the corresponding figures for other cities were 14 for Boston, 30 for Philly and 40 for DC. While it is certainly true that PHL and DCA have higher summer maxima, this gives the misimpression that overall summer conditions for NYC (usually interpreted as Manhattan) and Boston are largely indistinguishable. Of course you can blame the one dimensional criterion that he used but the thermometer siting is certainly a nontrivial factor. Just as an aside, when comparing NYC to other locations, an overwhelming number of observations are taken in airport or urban environments so maybe concrete is a more useful comparison.

 

Another way that we can look at how the tree growth over the NYC ASOS has artificially cooled the summer highs there since the 1990s is the comparison between Newark and NYC high temperatures on the warmest day of all the decades since the 1930s. Into the 1980s NYC would often be warmer than Newark on the warmest day of the decade. But the relationship shifted during the 1990s when the NYC ASOS was moved under the trees.

Now Newark is always warmer on the warmest day of the decade than NYC. The current warmest day of the 2020s is 6-30-2021. Newark reached 103° with NYC only reaching 98°. So NYC was 5° cooler. Next Tuesday could be the warmest day of the 2020s so far. So it will be interesting to see if Newark can rival or even exceed the +5° warmer than NYC in 2021.

Interesting how many balloons and radiosondes were deployed or utilized in 30s-40s and 50s to get regional or national 500MB observations.  Id argue those heat domes were just as high then with those readings.

Last June set the highest 500mb height record for our area since 1952. It came in ahead of 2018 and 2013. 500 mb heights have been steadily increasing over the years.

To be fair all those tens of thousands of feet tall vertical cities everywhere have added UHI to the entire atmospheric column

UHI is too shallow and localized to influence the 500mb heights across the Northern Hemisphere. These record breaking ridges have been occurring across all areas of the Northern Hemisphere including the oceans and relatively uninhabited land areas. Just look at all the record 500mb heights on the Caribou, Maine balloon soundings in recent years just like our area. Their records go back to 1948.

How did they calculate regional , continental 500MB heights then ?  how large was the network of radiosondes and balloons then vs now?  I havwe to go ovack to the 2001 heat dome in August and the 2011, 2013 how did they stack both were >594 DM from my recollection .

The question though is, at least for our part of the country, do we need a stronger 500mb ridge to achieve 100 degrees than we needed in, for example, 1944 or 1948 or 1949 or 1953 or 1955 or 1993?

this is exciting as the two models taking turns forecasting a 30 inch snowstorm for us vs 3 inches of rain lol

to be fair EWR was also hotter than NYC before the foliage problem happened (I'm referring to 1988, 1991 and 1993).

But we can use just EWR data if you prefer.

Just going by EWR data, 1949 and 1993 have the most 100+ days

It makes me think we need lower heights to reach triple digits back then than what we need now (because of more moisture in the air now.)

wow what the heck was going on in 1949 lol, was that the 1940s version of 2010?

I wonder if JFK had many 100 degree days that summer, I know they had three in a row in 1948.

Come to think of it, 1948 and 1949 sound a lot like 2010 and 2011....

On a different topic are we going to get  a big northern lights display from this?

 

https://www.newsweek.com/nasa-satellite-extreme-solar-flare-us-states-blackout-map-2088388

 

Large parts of the United States faced a radio blackout on Thursday following a strong solar flare from the sun.

The "extreme ultraviolet flash" was captured by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory satellite. The solar flare, categorized as X-class in scale—the highest scale, was triggered by an active region of a sunspot on June 19 at 11:50 p.m. UTC.

Radiation from the X1.9 blast caused a shortwave radio blackout over the Pacific Ocean, leading to a loss of signal at frequencies below 25 Megahertz (MHz). Amateur radio operators, especially in Hawaii, may have noticed the signal loss.

Solar flares are intense bursts of radiation from the sun. The most powerful explosions in the solar system, they can can contain as much energy as a billion hydrogen bombs, according to NASA.

Solar flares are classified according to their intensity, with X being the highest on the scale. X-class solar flares can cause planet-wide radio blackouts and long-lasting radiation storms.

UHI is too shallow and localized to influence the 500mb heights across the Northern Hemisphere. These record breaking ridges have been occurring across all areas of the Northern Hemisphere including the oceans and relatively uninhabited land areas. Just look at all the record 500mb heights on the Caribou, Maine balloon soundings in recent years just like our area. Their records go back to 1948.

Of course what you say is true, I was being silly lol

I was being sarcastic because people blame UHI for everything. How does UHI explain record breaking 850mb temperatures for example? It doesn't, but people will continue to blame the airport or the concrete at sea level.

wild, so 2 99s in 1949, one in June and one in August, and one 98 in July Tony?

and did the 3 100+ in a row in 1948 at JFK and NYC both happen in August Tony?

It's much more logical to assume we needed lower heights to reach 100+ in the 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, because the air was much drier back then.

We got a taste of that in 2010.....
