1954 had Carol, Edna nd Hazel...five in two years...1893 and 1894 had a few each...

I know 1960 had two that came up the coast...not sure if there have been more than one since...

At the time it was the sea beach and West end trains...now it's the n for the sea beach and what ever letter the West end is today...

1911 hit 100 in early July...

when I used to take the train to Coney island it would pass Coney Island creek and the sunken tugboat next to the train bridge...my aunt at the time this picture was taken 1961 told me it sunk during the 1944 hurricane...

1882 and 1944 newspaper accounts of the storms... 1882... http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030214/1882-09-23/ed-1/seq-10/ http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030214/1882-09-24/ed-1/seq-1/ http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030214/1882-09-24/ed-1/seq-2/ http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030272/1882-09-24/ed-1/seq-1/ https://bklyn.newspapers.com/image/50367140 1944... http://bklyn.newspapers.com/image/52894719/ http://bklyn.newspapers.com/image/52894893 http://bklyn.newspapers.com/image/52896093/ http://bklyn.newspapers.com/image/52896175

yeah if you believe in the 11 yr hot summer cycle...high minimums is the biggest story so far and there is no end in sight...the cycle is mostly la nina years or developing nina years starting with 1955...1977 is the only el nino...going back to the 1800's 1977 and 1911 sre the only el nino years in that cycle...

another 90 degree day imby...91 max 74 min...currently 89...

96/78 max/min today...

90 now after a low of 78...

95 down from 96...

94 now...feels like 100...

a sw wind comes over Brooklyn and Queens which is a large heat island...it does represent that part of the city...the wind direction has a lot to say about any local city weather station...where I live in Staten Island it gets as hot as any station with winds from the west to the north...

87 after a low of 74...

94 now...94/75 for the max/min...

I bet you get one for a 30 day period...maybe a hot end of June to July or July into August...

back in the 60's and 70's we would get cool shots between heat waves...temps got as low as the 50's...I cant remember the last time NYC hit 55 in July or August...

just finished a summery of the winter of 1898-99... the winter of 1898-99 was one of those winters that had some historic weeks...it is known for the largest arctic outbreak to hit the country and a blizzard that gave snow from Florida to Maine...it started the last week in November 1898 with three snowstorms adding up to 19"...one famous storm called the Portland Storm named after a ship that sank off the NE coast...10" of snow and sleet fell in NYC which is still the biggest November snowfall on record...there was a month lull in the action until New years day when 4" of snow fell...between January 31st and February 13th 26.3" of snow fell including the famous blizzard that climaxed one of the coldest periods in NYC ever...a big thaw set in after that...the winter was basically over after the thaw except for a 3" snowfall on March 7th and some light falls later in the month...I believe 1898-99 was an el nino winter ... https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=blizzard+of+1899&docid=608013892811227643&mid=722B5BBF0534BB6B9316722B5BBF0534BB6B9316&view=detail&FORM=VIRE dates...……….max...min...rain.....snow... 11/24/98.....41...….32.....0.66".....3.0"....unexpected storm for Thanksgiving...rain to sleet to snow... http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030214/1898-11-25/ed-1/seq-1/ 11/26/98.....34...….25.....0.46".....5.0"....snow and windy... 11/27/98.....28...….26.....0.70".....5.0"....snow and sleet with winds... http://bklyn.newspapers.com/image/50341645/ http://bklyn.newspapers.com/image/50341652 http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030272/1898-11-27/ed-1/seq-1/ http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030272/1898-11-27/ed-1/seq-2/ http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030214/1898-11-27/ed-1/seq-1/ http://bklyn.newspapers.com/image/50341716/ http://bklyn.newspapers.com/image/50341718 http://bklyn.newspapers.com/image/50341720 11/29/98.....41......30.....0.15"........T..... 11/30/98.....39......28.....0.69".....6.0"...... http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030214/1898-11-30/ed-1/seq-2/ http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030214/1898-12-01/ed-1/seq-1/ http://bklyn.newspapers.com/image/50341838 http://bklyn.newspapers.com/image/50341844 12/12/98.....36...….31.....0.03".....0.5" 12/31/98.....53...….18.....0.36".....1.0"...rain changes to snow 01/01/99.....18...…...8.....0.18".....3.0"...white New Years day... http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030214/1899-01-02/ed-1/seq-4/ 01/06/99.....40.......30.....1.38".....1.0"...rain starts as snow and sleet... https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030214/1899-01-07/ed-1/seq-3/ https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030214/1899-01-07/ed-1/seq-7/ 01/12/99.....29.......12.....0.01".....0.3" 01/31/99.....26.......17.....0.11".....1.8"...light snow and flurries most of the day... 02/01/99.....21.......12.....0.01".....0.2"...snow ends around 2am... https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030214/1899-02-01/ed-1/seq-7/ 02/05/99.....35.......26.....0.15".....1.0"...late morning light snow... 02/06/99.....31.......24.....0.09".....0.8"...late evening snow ends early on the 7th... 02/07/99.....28.......24.....0.20".....2.5"...snow from 4pm... 02/08/99.....31.......11.....0.30".....4.0"...snow ends 3pm...light moderate storm... http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030214/1899-02-09/ed-1/seq-1/ http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030214/1899-02-09/ed-1/seq-2/ 02/09/99.....11........-2.......0 http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030214/1899-02-10/ed-1/seq-1/ 02/10/99.......7........-6.......0 http://bklyn.newspap.../image/50406340 http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030214/1899-02-11/ed-1/seq-4/ 02/11/99.......9........-2.......0 http://fultonhistory...cale -
