it's interesting that 1993 isn't on this list, I thought it was hotter than 1991.

nice, that was my dream summer. It's too bad that station wasn't around for 2011 to see if the peak was higher than the 108 it recorded in 2010.

Not in 1999, not even on the day it hit 102 at JFK (the high was late in the day too)? and in 2011 when it was 103 and 102 on back to back days at JFK on July 22-23?

wait how do you get 15 minutes of snow from a cloudless sky? and I thought the 8 inch diameter snowflake that fell in Montana was ridiculous! I wonder if they froze that thing to save it for posterity lol. We once had snow from a cloudless sky, I don't remember what year (late 80s or early 90s) and it was in December. But it happened at night and it was a full moon and it snowed for 2 hours and we got 1-2 inches (it snowed really hard from a cloudless sky.) An arctic front had come through that day and we had on and off snow showers with mostly sunny skies all day and it was very windy. I can't really say the sky was completely cloudless but since I could clearly see the full moon while it was snowing hard, thats what I assume Can you find out what year that happened? it happened from 10 PM to Midnight I remember this because I saw the radar for it on the 10 oclock news on PIX11 and it was small stalled snow shower near JFK and the south shore of Nassau county.

Yes, this is a real summer, while 2014-2024 have not been that hot.

the sea breeze isn't avoided, it just hits 100+ before the sea breeze comes and the sea breeze is delayed to after 4 pm. Do you remember July 5, 1999-- it hit 102 at JFK and it was 1 degree hotter than Central Park and on July 22-23, 2011 it hit 103 and 102 at JFK on back to back days. Do you think the sea breeze can be held off for a few more hours tomorrow?

It would have been better if it hit 100 first before that darned thing came in lol

by the way what do you see for tomorrow, can we keep the sea breeze away until 4 pm or later?

actually the five towns baked over 100 in June too, the boundary is usually stuck around Long Beach. It was over 100+ all the way down to Far Rockaway in June.

anything lower than 70 is too cold, 70-75 is just fine.

it just makes it more humid, the *relief* is an illusion.

to be honest, in June it didn't make it to Sunrise Hwy, I'm south of Sunrise Hwy and it always bakes here in scenarios like this. I think the barrier islands keep it away. Long Beach gets the sea breeze, Oceanside does not lol. What caused the sea breeze? The ocean is much warmer now than it was in June. in late June even Long Beach made it to 100+ from what I remember, if not, all the towns just north of the barrier islands (Oceanside, Island Park, East Rockaway, Freeport, etc.) all definitely did.

well it just hit 96 here so there's still a chance

so close to 100, YOU CAN DO IT! I'm stuck at 95 =\

One of my geoengineering projects would be to build a giant transparent seawall to keep the demonic sea breeze away from land. You could still see the ocean without any of the dreaded impacts of the sea breeze.

why did we get that thing today-- you said no sea breeze remember

you dont want that thing all it does is increase humidity

1959 and 1995 also had a marked increase. The only August 100 degree temperatures were in 1948 (2 in a row) and 1983-- in both years it happened August 20th or later.

In this list the only summers I didn't know were very hot were 1952 and 1963-- and 2020 lol.

Great chance of 100 today!!!

thanks, this really puts 2025 on par with other very hot summers. 2010 beat all the records from 1983.

Did the 90 degree highs slow down after July in 2010? I recall August and September being very hot too, with 95+ degrees even in September.

some of my favorite summers in this list: 2010, 2011, 2025, 1966, 1999, 1991, 1983, 1949 and 2012 in that order. How come 1993 and 2002 and 2013 aren't on this list?

That matches my experience. Is this a total of June and July... I thought your other chart was better the one that showed the temperatures starting with the summer solstice (because that's around the time our heat began, the first half of June was cool and rainy)

Yes I find ASOS very annoying-- why were they installed? My local temperatures I measure myself corresponded much closer to the official airport readings, but the ASOS installation is not inaccurate-- they are always too cool.
