A-L-E-X Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 with 10,000 posts....it's gotta be a joke. haha it is Well, sarcasm to be precise. I find this kind of weather much more exciting than severe weather so I'm making a commentary on how small the coverage is with thunderstorms and how much more awesome big heat is because it covers a much larger area. Severe weather is a short lasting cheap thrill. I wouldn't mind it not raining at all all summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-X Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 I hope it happens. I believe we're close to setting a record for most consecutive winters without a subzero low. I was right about the sun coming out too late to do much about raising the temps-- they've either stayed the same or dropped since it came out. In extreme heat we usually see our highs between 1 and 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtRosen Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Central Park hit 100 today according to Al Roker's Twitter. alroker Al Roker RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURE OF 100 DEGREES WAS SET AT CENTRAL PARK NY TODAY.

KEITH L.I Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 I'll re-post a little burb that I wrote on the NE side since some of you "kids" born after about the early 1970's probably can't remember it..... I recall that day in July 1977 when Central Park had the last 104F. I was actually in Germany visiting family and read about it in the International Herald Tribune, we all dreaded the return to that junk. The blackout hit NYC also then. Then the day we flew back into JFK a strong cfropa was underway and it was violent with lots of CC lightning strikes visible from the plane. I believe I crossed the front over LI and when we got to Kennedy the sun was out and it was through. That was the end of most heat for that Summer as the whole pattern flipped. Oh that was the summer of the Son of Sam and Billy and George fights also...... There were still days in August 1977 where temps did get over 90..but that was it for the opressive heat..actually by Aug 25th or so..If i remember correctly there was a early fall airmass..but yes July 1977 was quite a hot month in the city...for many reasons!

Guest Pamela Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 It now appears that the absolute worst is behind us and the autumnal equinox is a mere 62 days away.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthlight Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 It now appears that the absolute worst is behind us and the autumnal equinox is a mere 62 days away.... We are a month removed from the summer solstice. So essentially in the winter, it would be January 20th or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-L-E-X Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Astronomically 7/3 - 8/11.... The Dog Days Although that part of the sky (which includes some of the greatest celestial wonders visible from earth.... Sirius....Orion's belt.... M42....Rigel....Betelgeuse) is best seen in the fall and winter (and that's when the Orionid meteor shower peaks, in October.) Speaking of meteor showers.... dont miss the Perseids, which are my favorites, since they occur during a time of year when it's fun to be outside all night. And they usually have some fireballs associated with them, so they're well worth the wait. They peak around Aug 11-14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesnt even get that hot where you live, William And dont forget we have another big heat wave next weekend-- after that, we shall see, I might be inclined to agree with you once August rolls around.

You see Alex, the Romans mistakenly believed that Sirius, the brightest star in the sky, was a key contributing factor to summertime heat because during the July - early August period, it rose in the sky at the same time the sun did....

Isotherm Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 97.0 was my high today. Looks like 100.5 will do it, which does beat my max temp from last summer of 100.3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice.... I was wondering about that since I saw quite a few of the north shore PWS on wunderground over 100-- for example, the ones in Centerport and East Northport were both around 103. Out of the official locations only Islip made it to 100 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-L-E-X Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 The temps have actually been dropping ever since the sky completely cleared out at 4..... I wonder if the high overcast we had earlier actually promoted heating because it held the heat in better than a clear sky would. The high overcast would also not really inhibit insolation. So insolation plus insulation means a hotter day than we would have had with a clear sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
