TheClimateChanger Posted yesterday at 01:29 AM Share Posted yesterday at 01:29 AM This June was miles hotter at Charlotteburg Reservoir than anything observed in 1980. Looks like in 1980, you could beat the heat by traveling an hour or so outside the urban heat island, while in 2025, the temperatures are much more uniform even way out in Passaic County.

Isolated storm (wed PM) 7/6 - 7/9:  Hot/humid 90s - storms isolated mainly 7/10 - beyond - overall warm - hot / humid wetter  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewave Posted yesterday at 11:33 AM Share Posted yesterday at 11:33 AM Looks like the next chance for 95° to 100° heat will be early next week as the 500 mb ridge builds again. Models have more of a southerly flow. So the warmest spots should be further from the sea breeze and coast.   1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winterwx21 Posted yesterday at 04:33 PM Share Posted yesterday at 04:33 PM I got 0.32" overnight after getting 0.49" yesterday. I see HRRR says the heavy stuff is gonna miss to the south and only gives us light rain tonight, but who knows. Some other models hit us. No big deal if today ends up missing since I already got a nice 0.81" soaking. Feels very steamy out there with the dewpoint at 75. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donsutherland1 Posted yesterday at 06:12 PM Share Posted yesterday at 06:12 PM So far, Central Park's high today is 88°. Newark has reached 95°. Should Central Park fail to reach 90°, Central Park would record its shortest interval on record between dates where Newark reached 95° or above while Central Park failed to reach 90°. On June 29, 2025, Newark topped out at 95°, while New York City (Central Park) reached 89°. The existing shortest interval is 14 days from May 22, 2021 to June 5, 2021. JFK Airport and LaGuardia Airport have both reached 91° so far today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
