One of the few times that a forecast for stalled out backdoor cold front with a wave of low pressure by next Monday is a welcome sight.

I always wanted to know how a pizza feels like inside an oven and today stepping outside I did.

I was in Vegas for a wedding on 7/7/24 when they set a new record high (120⁰). I thought that day would be the worst heat I would ever feel in my life. Then today happened..

And now LGA "down" to 99 but dews are back in the 70s so highest heat indexes of the day are occurring now

Also, a comforting thought is that once it gets this hot during the summer, it usually doesn’t get this hot again the same summer… at least that’s how it has seemed in the past… however, I could be wrong!?!?

@Poker2015 my station and the rest of whiton.  -7 earlier this year to 103.3. Really cool spread of temps

[Santa Claus]

Yeah, we have only really had 6 years reaching 103°+ by July 4th. So the sample size is pretty small. But at least none of the previous years made it above 102° the rest of the summer.

Mine stopped working entirely at 99 degrees (and rising) lol. Replacement coming tomorrow.

Every other surrounding station hit at least 100, so I’ll count it.

There are three notable exceptions for the New York City area where 100° heat returned: 1949, 1953, and 1955.

104 for LGA and 102 for JFK is wild. What’s the all time record high for LGA?

Good thing the water temperatures saved us today.

 

[doncat]

Not too often I beat all the official stations but my 105° high temp is now my highest on record. Nearby pws and mesonet stations agree.

Hello to all. I finally decided to stop lurking here as I have for several years and decided to sign up and join in on the fun. I have learned a lot of things pertaining to Meteorology from many of the members here. I do not have any where close to the knowledge that many of you have and I will not try to pretend that I do. So I will basically lay low, except for contributing my weather observations, particularly during winter. And perhaps chiming in on memories of snowstorms from the late 1960's on. I'm 65 and the earliest memory I have of any snowstorm was the 1967 NYC Blizzard in early February and the "Lindsay Snowstorm" in 1969. I have a Vantage Pro 2 Davis Weather Station and have also kept a hand written daily weather log since 1987. And I guess time will tell whether or not I prove to be a weather/snow weenie.

P.S. My maximum temperature today was 101.4 degrees, which occurred at 4:10 PM. My location is in Eastern Passaic County, New Jersey

[MANDA]

High temperatures across NJ today from Rutgers Weather Network.  Most max heat index readings were between 108-115.  There were some readings in excess of 115 over parts of NJ.  Even as high as 120 over the southwest corner of the state.  Hot day!  One more similar day tomorrow.  Still hot Saturday but "less hot".

Back on now after about 2 hours but it's definitely on reduced voltage.

[psv88]

Beautiful breeze now and down to 87. 

[SI Mailman]

Very comfortable on Raritan bay right now. Water temp is 73 and fireworks will be going off by Perth Amboy in 90 minutes
