Hot one - hottest day since Jul 8th - mid - upper 90s, a race to 100 vs clouds and storms/showers later this evening. Will be close. Weekend gets a reprieve from heat with onshore Saturday / inland hotter areas still to 90 on Satruday, Clouds / storms on Sunday keep it cooler. Mon - Wed hot again as stronger heat bubbles north ,Tue 850 MB temps >18c - >19c push the hot spots to the upper 90s / perhaps low 100s, still need to watch clouds / storms. Ridge backs west by the 31st with cooler period that sees a onshore flow develop before warm-hot returns around the 7/8th. 7/25 - 7/30 : Hot / Humid - Storms Fri PM / Sun - Peak heat Fri /Tue-Wed 7/31 - 8/7 : Cooler - overall near normal drier 8/8 : Overall warm - hot / Humid are we sure today's going to be all that hot? it's not even in the mid 80s here yet and the sky is a deep blue kind of clear sky, no haze like we usually see on very hot days and the temperatures are not rising quickly like they did in late June at this time.

Assuming hot is : 90 - 94 Strong heat : 95 - 98 Extreme heat : 99 - 104 Inferno : 105+ Id go in the strong heat category with a few hot spots at extreme heat. 850 MB temps 18C - 19C. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh nice I am going with this classification too. Hot is like a SECS (4-8 inches of snow) Strong heat is like a MECS (8 to 15 inches of snow) Extreme heat is like a HECS (16 to 29 inches of snow) Inferno is like a BECS (30 inches of snow plus) I would adjust strong heat to 95-99 and extreme heat to 100-104 though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not on the list of longest NYC heatwaves though. Why was that heatwave in 1972 more deadly than the two longer and more extreme heatwaves in 1999 though? 1999 was second only to 1953 in heatwave length and extremes.

I think upper 90s in the hottest spots with full sun. Yesterday wasnt all that hot but I ended up surging late to 90...I dont think its as intense as the June scorch but would be surprised not to hit at least 94 today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it because of trapped pollutants from car fuel exhaust?? Barely any visibility in the video I saw, meanwhile 25 miles to the east over here it's a very clear and deep blue sky with zero haze.

It's a fine line between rain and fungus/mold though ;-) I wouldn't mind rain Saturday night, it wouldn't interrupt anyone's beach plans. Yeah despite all that flooding a little less than 2 weeks ago, I'm back to watering the vegetable garden now. And when I cut the lawn yesterday there was dry dirt flying. It doesn't take long for the soil to dry out in the summer. I think we could use some rain here again. I'd like to see a downpour later today. People that have vegetable gardens don't like going too long without rain. You can water all you want, but nothing makes the plants grow like rain. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly getting all that much rain at once is less preferable for soil concerns than 1 to 2" a week. If imagine much of it ran off 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
