JFK Airport has reached 90° for the ninth time this year. Only 2010 with 13 days through July 8th had more such days by this time of year. 

2010 was the king of all summers!!

95 here and extremely humid.  First 95 since the triple digits back in late June.

JFK and Central Park had no 100° readings during that timeframe. 

 

LGA only hit it on 7/27, so this is a New York City thing not a foliage thing lol.

Wantage NJ 1230-145P including the warned storm. Max G on my weather Stn 14... rainfall 0.85" in 75 minutes - 3 events.

Interestingly, PHL also didnt hit 100, 4 times in that same period.

I think the reason is that it gets rainier in late July.  The first half to three weeks of July are drier than the last week of July is.

Sea breeze front through here, still 92

Trust me it won't make a difference, we have been up around 95 from 1 pm to now.

Much more active day today in terms of severe weather.  Should be good to go between 3-6pm around NYC

More like 6 pm to 7 pm here, the earlier time frame will be for inland areas.  The storms along that front will get here around 6 and will move through quickly between 6 and 7.

Storm forming on the sea breeze front right now near the LIE. You can see the anvil starting to go up from here in lynbrook. South of the front nothing will happen if anything until after 5.

I peaked at 97 degrees, now 96 degrees. 

96/74, what a pleasant afternoon.

Foliage affects recent temperatures (late 1990s to present). More is involved for the "100s drought" in late July, including but not limited to stochastic variability.

I just picked up a new Telecaster so it lives in the case regardless lol.  

I am ignorant of guitar care, except I had one low grade acoustic crack, (and additionally I took an ovation on a camping trip and the bridge broke off overnight when it got down near freezing).  An electric guitar is sensitive to humidity as well, as far as splitting or cracking?

Sea breeze not doing much at all 91/76

[SnowGoose69]

Fortunately the front was well timed.  I say that since I am working today.  Had this front been 75 miles further east 2-3 hours earlier we'd have had quite the TSTM day, but it ended up slower by a bit than what it appeared 1-2 days ago.  I think 00-02Z is the best window for most areas but the activity will likely be weakening, I have some doubts though it weakens as much as the HRRR is showing

[Snowlover11]

Wow nice little ripper here. Intense rain, some wind. 

[Sundog]

I'm back above my day's high and am at 98 degrees with a 74 degree dewpoint. 

I didn't think it would get this hot wtf

It's not so bad once you get used to it. You just go inside where it's air conditioned.

Yep, 95 here with a so-called southerly *sea breeze*

It was supposed to be mostly cloudy the last two days and yet it's been mostly sunny here both days lol.

0 clouds over the ocean with a stable marine layer and cumulous developing over land as expected. When you see forecast highs in the 90s, its probably not going to be that cloudy. Not bad beach weather, more sun and less chance of rain closer to the water

This is probably why I see clouds from time to time to my north but the sunshine continues here unabated lol

ewr 100

Have some Pop-up showers around on the seabreeze and outflow boundaries. Back to 91. 

[wdrag]

Wantage NJ 4sw... (8 s of High Point NJ) 347 PM report. Had about .36" in 11 minutes ending around 333 PM. Max G 25 MPH (higher than the previous 140PM warned storm). Very little T if any in this 323PM batch. Total for this afternoon now1.21", one tenth inch less than the automated Ambient gage.

[winterwarlock]

94 with heat index of 113

[jm1220]

Getting dark with thunder to my north. Outflow boundary crashed right into seabreeze and sparked up storms.
