i wonder if it's because of increasing moisture

August is now too humid to easily produce 100 degree days.

yes but no storms because the upper atmosphere is dryer and unfavorable for development - that will change tomorrow. Not much dryer down here at the surface very uncomfortable

In the summer, you can tell that it has rained recently by Central Park running 2-5 degrees lower then everyone else.

Dewpoint is down to 67 here right now. Still humid but better than it has been the last several days.

Above normal temperatures will persist through Tuesday. Highs will generally top out in the upper 80s to lower 90s in the warmest spots. A shower or thundershower is possible late Monday or Monday night.

A somewhat cooler air mass will arrive near mid-week. Afterward, readings will be mainly in the lower to middle 80s for Wednesday and Thursay.

A push of even cooler air is possible by the close of the week. As a result, Friday through Sunday could see highs mainly in the upper 70s and lower 80s.

The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +4.1°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was +2.3°C for the week centered around July 30. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +3.53°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged +2.02°C. The ongoing strong El Niño, which has reached super El Niño threshold, will continue to strengthen through the summer.

The SOI was -9.89 today. 

The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was +0.329 today. 

Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied near 50% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal August (1991-2020 normal). August will likely finish with a mean temperature near 76.1° (near normal). 

Supplemental Information: The projected mean would be 0.8° above the 1981-2010 normal monthly value.

Tropics?

91 today. North wind so no relief from a seabreeze 

[doncat]

Dew point today mostly mid upper 60's... High temp still up to 93°.

Looks like an attempt at a seabreeze on radar pushing north around Sunrise Highway.

Hopefully, this is Summer's last hurrah. Really tired of the relentless heatwaves.

Not meteorological summer. We've got about 21 days left of that.

[SACRUS]

Dewpoint inching up to 70 here, tomorrow looks like a steam bath low-mid 90s and DT in low 70s

No point. Just hoping this is the last stretch of hot and humid 90s. May the heat dome collapse.

You've had relentless heatwaves by you?  I haven't had a heateave since the one around 4th of July.  

Yesterday just missed 90 here and tomorrow is iffy, so technically no heatwave again.  If you look at previous summers, even just since 2015, we've had far worse heat and humidity.  This wasn't bad at all.

I'd actually argue we had very little extended heat this summer.  When we got a warm surge it packed a punch but then didn't stick around.

More 90's than 80's last 3 days in these parts
