some very dry years back then especially 1953 and 1966 (maybe 1944 and 1948 and 1949 and 1955 also?)
-
1953, 1977 and 1993 all stand out for being 8-9 days in length. 1977 being the most intense out of those and also the longest.
-
Yes that was an absolutely amazing heatwave that resembled 1993 in some respects, three straight days of 100+ at NYC and 2 straight days of 100+ at JFK. JFK's recorded history also began in 1948 as Idlewild.
-
Thanks Tony, do you have anything from the 6 day heatwave at JFK in 1948 that peaked at 101? 1948 was when their period of record began.
-
wow nice pictures, I wonder if any of those people are alive today?
-
1966 and 2010 were both at 100 or above (2010 a little hotter than NYC, 1966, was significantly hotter than NYC.) Some of those other periods were really long, an 8 day heatwave in 2013 which peaked at 100 (hotter than NYC) 2006 had a 7 day heatwave that I don't even remember that peaked at 99 wow. 1993's 7 day heatwave that peaked at 101 I remember well and also 1999's 5 day heatwave that peaked at 102. And 1983's 6 day heatwave that peaked at 100 which was our previous hottest summer prior to 2010.
-
From what others have said 1953 was a nationwide heatwave..... what was going on that summer to make it so hot for so long and especially so late in the season?
-
what about in 1994 when JFK and NYC were both at 98? -
JFK could easily be over 100 with Long Beach at 92. I think you guys were in the 90s in 93, 99, etc too when JFK was over 100.
-
Maybe someone can take a digital thermometer into Central Park and take a picture of it in there like we sometimes do when there's an errant snowfall total there.
-
104C = 40C so you should love that if you're a fan of the metric system lol
-
Yep and 2010 comes really close and rounds up to 100 since it's 99.5 I'm convinced JFK exceeded 100 in both 1966 and 2010 because they had 3 days of 100+ both times (three in a row in the first one and three days out of four in the second one.)
-
1953 and 1955 are absolutely wild because they each had two such periods. Don the second period in 1953 could be extended into early September when it peaked at 102.....
-
Don, do 1966 and 2010 meet the criteria at JFK? Do any of those other years? I know JFK had 3 days out of 4 in 2010 at 100 or above and in 1966 they had three straight days of 100+?
-
which one would stand out if 100 was the criteria, 1993? oh nevermind I thought one of the criteria was three straight days above that number if going by average high it's definitely 1966. you could argue that 2010 would also meet the criteria since 99.5 rounds up to 100
-
1977 and 1993 really stand out in this list
-
why did they pick such a weird number-- 97? 100 should be the number.
-
This sounds so easy to do that it makes me think there's a reason they don't do it. Maybe they're counting on the canopy to hide the equipment from vandals. I don't know why they don't surround it with a barbed wire electrified fence.
-
Was that the winter where JFK got two 6 inch events within 10 days of each other? and NYC's largest event was 4 inches lol
-
Perhaps that equipment should be moved downtown. Park temperatures are not what New York City residents typically experience.
-
On June 26, 1952 as I showed previously, JFK reached 99 on a SSW wind and when the wind switched to WSW it was at 99 for two more hours. It's possible 100 was reached in between hours on that day there but not recorded. I think it shows that JFK can reach 100 there in June even on an onshore wind in June.
-
you probably get a lot more snow than NYC too lol
-
it should be okay for 1 day, this is a fairly short heatwave. Con Ed really sucks though so you never know.
-
not *very bad* but a time to celebrate a once a decade occurrence! you should be a fan of weather extremes!
-
around the same time it hit 90 here and then the temperature dropped 4 degrees at 3 when the sea breeze came in
