100 Degree Or Higher Heat Signal For Our Area This Week

Recommended Posts

I believe when EWR hit 106 103 last July they also hit 100 by 11am or noon and then the rate slowed.

With these high dew points there's often a mid-day slow down in the rate of temperature climb...but eventually they will get 105-106 I think..probably 3pm.

Today will definitely be a historical day at Newark as they are moving towards their all time record high.

I've been predicting 103 for the high temp for Central Park this afternoon and I believe they're well on their way and that number may at this point be conservative. It is already 93 as of 10am at the park. While my 103 may end up being correct, the park could actually go higher than that and it is not so far fetched to think that they could come close to or reach the all-time record of 106. It feels strange to say that, but it's not completely out of reach.

NAM is now jumping on the idea of some convection in the area this afternoon and tomorrow. If it is correct, it could hold highs at Central Park down to 103 today and 100 tomorrow. Let's hope it's wrong!

I get mine from this utility...

type in the station.. select the second check box down and click get data..... unless the decoding is not being done completely accurately.. I've using this utility for a very long time.

Hmm something seems off with that. It also says that the 10 am observation at Somerville airport is 93 when NOAA says it's 94:

Especially tomorrow afternoon. But it appears it brings it around 18z.

It is taking the whole-degree reading from the METAR instead of the more-precise tenth of a degree reading included in the "T" remarks. Its automated and since the T's aren't always included its just reading that.

Do you really believe EWR was 103, while Harrison and Elizabeth (equidistant in opposite directions) were 106, and New Providence, at 300 feet in elevation was 104?

I don't know, but I think it is more than a bit presumptuous and irresponsible to assume that the FAA/NWS has an organized goal of scheming and editing observations as they deem fit to try to prove/disprove global warming. I can't say if lowering it was the right thing to do or not but I have no doubt it wasn't to try to hide global warming from anyone. Give them a bit more credit...

Always found it a bit suspicious and weird...but I agree that the global warming argument shouldn't be brought into this.

The one thing I never understood was why they re-calibrated it down so many degrees. If the thermometer hit 106 or whatever it hit, how can they suddenly say it's a sensor problem and correct it down so low?

I guess I never got it...but I will be sure to say that I have not taken the time to investigate the situation--so I am not blaming anyone nor do I have a strong opinion on the whole thing.
