We’d probably need 20-30mph southerly wind to keep the north shore that much cooler than NJ/Hudson Valley. We usually heat up pretty fast then we have the breeze eventually by 3-4pm that cools it down but too late (and with the waters so warm not much cooling and more humidity). 

The same thing happens on the south shore, JFK heats up faster than the city up until about 1-2 pm before the sea breeze kicks in.

Even LGA only has 1 100 degree high in that period though.  Maybe it's that monsoon issue you mentioned? Do we see a ramp up in rainfall beginning in the last week of July?

edit-- it's July 24-30 I think the 100 degree records resume on the 31st lol.

We’ll see if Newark can pull off their first 100° reading on July 25th this Friday.

it could also be because the airmass is cooler.

Looks like they tied Somerville at 81 for warmest. LGA had no chance today with the steady NE wind blowing there all day. 

Most other places came in at 80.

Makes sense as the instruments are on the east side of the park so the wind was blowing off the densely urban UES.
