All the warm spots from Philly to Corona, Queens are pretty uniform around 30 days reaching 90°.

90° days for 2025 so far

Philly…30

Highstown…32

TEB…31

EWR…33

Harrison….30

Corona…27

wow Newark has even more than Philly....I've seen a tendency towards this in recent years, if we look back at historical summers like 1991 and 1993, EWR usually had around 10 more 90 degree days than NYC did and PHL usually had 5 more 90 degree days than EWR did back then.

Yes, hoping tomorrow evening still has good viewing because moon will rise a bit later (it's 10:00 pm here, already cooled down nicely to 72 F, and a big old moon looking like God's ear above the horizon now in east-south-east). Except for moon we have very dark skies outside of town here, good for viewing auroral displays and meteor showers and night sky etc.

I slept from 10-2 and then got up to look for shooting stars from 2-5 and then slept again from 5-9 lol.

I saw a handful of shooting stars.

1944 was a historically hot 11 year cycle summer, we have yet to break many of the records set in 1944, I am in awe of that summer.

Many of the above summers are part of the 11 year cycle: 1944, 2010, 1988, 1911, 2021, 1977

I think it could be like last fall, but don't see any fall record heat, as it's going to hard to beat 1983 when it comes to September heat.

The warm spots like Newark have had plenty of September and October record heat in recent years. Just notice all the records and near records since 2015.

This is why the tropical system tracks are going to be so important as we head into the fall. Since parts of the area have had their driest summer on record so far.

We will need an assist from the tropics in either lowering heights or providing rainfall. If one or both of these factors fail to materialize, then there is nothing stopping more heat and ridging into the fall with an expansion of drought.

Yeah but a place like Newark is ALWAYS hot lol.

I'm talking about the rest of the area, 7 90 degree days in September peaking at 99 in September 1983 is a record that's never been touched....unless you go back to 1953 when it was 100+ in September.

I just looked through these and even for Newark that 99 in September 1983 hasn't been matched. Didn't they exceed 100 like Central Park did in September 1953?

JFK has had nearly as many record and near record highs as Newark in the fall during recent years even though it’s a much cooler location. JFK had record heat into early November last year with the developing drought. So fall record heat has been a constant in recent years.

JFK September and October numerous near and record highs since 2015

In my experience, all these urban locations are much hotter than the suburban places I'm used to. I can tell you about my experiences driving from here to the Poconos, there are two main heat spikes, one is in Queens and the other one is in Eastern NJ. I find both of these places intolerable to walk around outside in more than a few minutes so I didn't unless I was out of gas lol. Once I drove past eastern NJ on I-80 and got past about Morristown, the weather always got much nicer. It's like this every summer, no matter how hot it is, those places are always hot. I can understand why some people have to work in these places, but why would anyone ever want to live there?

Both urban and rural NJ sections weren’t consistently as warm as they have been since 2010. Getting 30+ and 40+ days reaching 90° only happened from time to time with many cooler seasons under 20 days and even 10 days. These days most of the seasons are over 30 days with the cooler seasons under 20 or 10 days hard to come by anymore.

would that make it hotter or would a recurving hurricane make it hotter here?

Recurving means lower heights along the EC meaning cooler. A more southerly track means a probably hotter pattern.

There are two other stations on my street and they had the same as well the past 2 days. We were within .6 which was pretty cool. Love that these stations popped up the in the last several months. 91.6 now.

They hit 100 back in June too didn't they?

I saw they also hit 100 in 1955.

I remember them being super hot in the 90s too. I forget what year it was when I was driving through NJ but I recorded 106 degrees somewhere near Clifton. Could have been either 1991 or 1993 or 1995 or 1999 lol.

The 90s were our hottest decade going by summer maxima/number of 90 degree days.

My absolute favorite was that 95 on 10/2/2019 (with a heat index of 100). So I think 100 in September is possible here one day, but those records from 1983 are still really hard to beat, that 98 in 1983 has been in place for over 4 decades now.

1983 was incredible for June, July, August and September all being WAY above normal and 100 degrees in both July and August!!!!

That 82 last November on 11/1 was also pretty crazy, didn't JFK hit 80+ multiple times in the first week of November last year?

There are two other stations on my street and they had the same as well the past 2 days. We were within .6 which was pretty cool. Love that these stations popped up the in the last several months. 91.6 now.

Meanwhile today I'm cooler than you at 88

No. The 82 was the only high of 80 or above and just the third 80 or above high on record for November.

89.3 in Muttontown & 88.6 in Syosset for the high.
