Personally, I wouldn't give equal weight to each variable e.g.., I'd place greater weight on the summer mean temperature. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don I think you should also weigh number of 95 degree days, number of 100 degree days and length of maximum heatwave. 1995 only had the one 102 degree day while 1993 had an absolutely incredible 100-101-102 three day stretch in the middle of a 10 day super heatwave lol.

bluewave Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago 30 minutes ago, LibertyBell said: is the rise also slower for SNE (like places in CT near the shoreline) Chris? I was amazed that Bridgeport had a higher temperature than JFK the other day, I thought they were more vulnerable to the sea breeze there. When do you think 100 degree temperatures at JFK might start to happen more often, like they did in the 1940s and 1950s up to 1966 Chris? Here on the CT Shoreline there has been a much steeper increase in 90° days than JFK. We are currently in 2nd place on the all-time 90° day list at 15 days so far reaching 90° or higher. This heat combined with the 5th driest summer so far has turned most of grassy areas brown. Was glad to get a brief shower yesterday.

I ran the numbers for 1995 and 1993 where summer mean temperature was weighted at 50% and where the remaining 50% weight was equally divided among the other three variables. In that case, 1993 tops 1995. 2010 remains at the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
