ag3 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Who cares, after you hit the 90 mark it really doesn't make a difference. Its oppressive no matter how you cut the cake. The high dew points are making it even worse. Bring back mid 80's and low humidity. People are arguing about the difference between hitting 95 and 99 as if they were discussing 30" of snow vs 6" of snow. I really hope we get a good tropical system up this way soon so we have more to discuss than just how hot its going to be vs how hot people are hoping its going to be. Thats the difference though between all time records being reached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I hate the heat, too, but if it's going to be scorching, we might as well break records...at least that gives it some sort of "tracking" element.

ag3 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I think it gets more sunlight in the morning (looking at how rapidly it goes up once the sun rises), although my neighborhood (24/lex) has to be one of the warmest in the entire city. They need to put a PWS in Times Square. My PWS station at home in Astoria is always 3-5 degrees warmer then LGA in the AM hours. Sunlight hits it during those hours. Obviously, thats an inaccurate thermometer I have and dont use it for anything before 5pm temps. Same goes with a lot of the weatherunderground PWStation. Thats why its best to use the local official stations. For your area, I would take the average of Central Park and Newark and go down the middle.

earthlight Posted June 8, 2011 Author Share Posted June 8, 2011 BAM, 89 in the park. Game. Set. Match. Can't believe the "heat wave fail" posts actually came out this morning. Really. It will be 110 degrees and somebody will say it's a torch fail because their backyard isn't as warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BxEngine Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Its not really a southern gradient. Its a west to east gradient. Areas close to water, like NYC, only reached 90 one time. Earthlight, Forky and Isotherm dont get affected by south winds (only east winds affect them) and have reached 90 at least 4-5 times. this is more true. Im only a few miles from Mt nzucker, at a higher snowy peak, and I recorded temps at least 3 or 4 degrees warmer than him during the last "bust". In fact, Im at 87.9 right now. But Im west of him.

The PWS by me is best in the afternoon/evening and night (for example, it's low last night was 75, which sounds about right). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cfa Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 This is taking longer than I expected lol. It's closing in on 88 (which is still impressive for before noon in early June). There's no seabreeze whatsoever though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzucker Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 HPN doesn't seem to be updating so not sure what the official reading is. 86.8/73 in Scarsdale. 87.2/71 in Tarrytown, where I'm working as a substitute teacher today. About to head out for lunch and a coffee, building is air-conditioned so we'll see how it feels. It's more the humidity than the extreme temperatures that is making this unpleasant so far. Upper 80s/Low 90s isn't unusual for Westchester in summer, but dewpoints in the 70s is nasty stuff. Just like the last heat wave, we didn't get the extreme temps here but the mugginess sucked. We do have to take into account that it is early June, so heat like this is a bit more impressive than it would be in mid-July, when normals are 7-8F warmer. One thing I often forget is how much cooler June is than July, it's all just hot summer to me. I live inland too but am exposed somewhat to sea breezes on S winds. The combination of my southerly exposure, elevation, and the rural setting makes my temperatures a bit cooler than some of the urban stations. Tarrytown is slightly more built up though, so it's probably hotter here in town for my lunch break than at my home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderdude Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 12pm roundup: JFK: 86 LGA: 88 NYC: 89 EWR: 92 Even 88 F in Islip but may not rise too much because onshore wind will kick in to drop temps down a bit.
