A-L-E-X Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Actually an MGM movie with Charlton Heston and Edward G Robinson... http://video.google....155071179146825# Ah, I was referring to a twilight zone episode where everyone was dying from extreme heat. That movie sounds pretty good also. 7 PM update-- either no change, or temps slowly dropping: EWR 98 JFK 98 NYC 94 LGA 94 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Pamela Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Ah, I was referring to a twilight zone episode where everyone was dying from extreme heat. Yeah, The Midnight Sun...one of my three favorite TZ episodes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-X Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Yeah, The Midnight Sun...one of my three favorite TZ episodes... It's hard for me to pick a top 3, because I'd also have to include the time travel episode where he can't kill Lincoln and another time travel episode where the protagonist travels to several different eras to try and change the future-- and instead, causes the events to actually happen. The Old Man in the Cave was really good also as a futuristic social commentary, as well as the one where the main character finds a small town hidden in a valley with an advanced society who are bent on keeping themselves secret. And then there are the sci fi episodes where there are aliens masking themselves as humans on earth, getting us to turn against each other and the one where it seems like an alien ship has landed on earth, but ironically, we learn that it's the other way around. I always loved those last minute plot twists lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cfa Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Wouldn't it be something if JFK didn't hit 90 tomorrow, 2 searing 100+ degree days in a row but no official heat wave (I think?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-L-E-X Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Lol right. That'd be a little disappointing. Yeah, that's what differentiates this summer from last year's-- last year we had long streaks of 90+ with a few 80s interspersed in between-- this year it's the reverse (although the extreme heat has been more impressive in terms of how the sun needs to work harder in order to make it this hot with the higher humidity.)

If you have time, consider watching the movie I posted... <Ends off-topic commentary> Haha that made me chuckle. I loved both of those too-- and "To Serve Man" was so popular that its plot has gotten used several times. The episode itself was based on a famous sci fi short story. Definitely looking into that movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-L-E-X Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Well, at 8 PM the sea breeze finally came in at JFK and dropped them 10 degrees to 88. EWR is now down to 95 also, with LGA at 93 and NYC at 92. Farmingdale on the Island still at 93. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SACRUS Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Are we going to see the same temps as we are seeing now? Will be tough to top yesterday but upper 90s, perhaps a few century mark readings possible, especially Fri/sat as it looks now. If we contnue to be dry and with limited clouds it may do the trick. Still plenty of time, but this is a warm patern.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowGoose69 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 The Jan. 20 timeframe is generally the coldest part of the year, as the July 20th timeframe is generally the hottest... Of course summer shuts off alot faster though it seems....we often see 20s for lows in March and even some days in April in the 40s....how many days do we get even in the 70s in October? It seems some years we never break 72 after October 5th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ict1523 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 I was impressed that many places managed to get to 100 today despite all the clouds we had. It probably would've been just as hot as yesterday if they weren't here. Despite similar temps, it did feel noticeably cooler today, though it still felt like you were getting raped by mother nature every time you stepped outside.

ArtRosen Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 85 degrees here in Smithtown. The humidity is definitely up which makes the temps even less comfortable outside.
