100 Degree Or Higher Heat Signal For Our Area This Week

Maybe not for Newark though. It sucks just to be a spectator though. This is like getting 20" of snow and then changing over to sleet while watching Newark pile on more snow and approach 30" 110 degrees would be like 30 inches of snow lol.

Actually the furthest thing I could think of from 30 inches of snow is 110 degrees lol, j/k.

A record high temperature of 103 degrees was set at Kennedy NY

today. This breaks the old record of 98 set in 1998.

Woohoo-- 103-- sucks that we might end up a degree short of the all time 104 record though :( Who knows, we might get another chance tomorrow or a week from now-- but I'd rather it happened today lol.

lol Ive been doing an analogy comparison with 90 degrees to 10 inches of snow, 100 degrees to 20 inches of snow and 110 degrees to 30 inches of snow and falling just short of one of those limits gives me a similar amount of disappointment (conversely, reaching them gives me a similar amount of excitement.)

that's a pretty good scale dude, if you like heat.

His crops are all dead by now, he will be sad when he comes back.

haha he was in Montana last summer; this year he did the opposite thing and actually went to a place that's even hotter than us!

I can't wait to see the Yankee game tonight and the one tomorrow-- are they in for a shock after playing in climate controlled Tampa for four days and Toronto before that lol.

we can't play any worse, so maybe it will help us score runs. Geno will be a busy man tonight with the ucalyptis spray in the dug out.

I was 17 in July 1977. Was a crazy summer to begin with...NYC was a different place. The heat was nuts, then you had the blackout and riots. And Son of Sam.

Remember 1993 as was a receiving manager in a Dept Store, and had so many 90+ days. The guys on the loading dock were dying..it seemed to last for almost a month.

Ooops..meant to say 1993..not 2003

Jmister-- nice graphics! Are those temps actual readings to the nearest tenth of a degree or are they the result of converting from Celsius?

Thanks! I think they come from a celsius conversion, but then again some NWS readings are to the tenth of a degree C. The program is really cool and useful. You can do radar overlays and customize everything. I highly recommend it.

No conspiracy. They won't allow one person on their show that believes in global warming. Or if they do, they'll tear em up.

I'm just saying...if Newark's reading gets nerfed today. It's something to think about..

Lol.. yeah the minimum wage worker taking the observations who really just can't wait for Miller Time is going to go back and fix an observation because Fox News doesn't let guests on their show that don't believe in global warming. I gotta say that's pretty out there. By the way NCDC gets to decide on official climatology, not the FAA or the NWS, and they adjust official climate records more often than you realize.

I think you are thinking of 2002 not 2003. 27 90 degree days in 2002 from June-August. Only 7 in the same monthly stretch in 2003.

The tenths are the result of the double conversion from Fahrenheit to Celsius and back again. Notice how the tenths are rarely in half degree increments like .3, .4, .5, .6? The major airports use ASOS (some airports use AWOS which in theory can do whatever they like with regard to rounding) which only measures to the nearest whole degrees Fahrenheit, but obviously they have to convert to whole degrees Celsius for international distribution. The tenths of Celsius remark you see in the metars is so Americans can get back to the original whole degrees Fahrenheit temperature without introducing rounding errors.

Yup big heat in 2002-- started in April, actually lol. Wonderful winter that followed also. 2003 was the year of the big black out that affected 55 million people!
