NEG NAO Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I looked up when the site with the help of google maps...It looks like the temp obs are on a patch of grass not far from an asphalt parking lot... I am surprised Upton doesn't supervise the placement of these weather instruments have strict requirements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEG NAO Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I am surprised Upton doesn't supervise the placement of these weather instruments have strict requirements Here are the guidelines from Cornell University for the proper placement of weather instruments - note that the temperature sensor guidelines states that the "sensor should be 100 feet from any paved or concrete surface "- in that picture of the Linden temp sensor which I have not seen - does it look like it is 100 feet away from the pavement ? http://newa.cornell.edu/index.php?page=placement-guidelines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewave Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Despite the record breaking summer heat since 2005, the late season heat has been fairly tame compared to 40's and 50's. LGA record highs 8-20 to 9-10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SACRUS Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 We'll see if we deal with clouds by the mid afternoon like yesterday, if not we should see some of the usual warmer spots of central and ne-nj reach 90. Maybe the park too as its been dry and the brush has been cleaned up a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormlover74 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 The models seem to be agreeing on a heavy rain event for Tuesday into Wednesday (1.5-2") and lasting at least 12 hours. Timing seems to be up in the air though as the GFS has it done by midnight and the Euro continues it into the day on Wednesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year 9/11 featured many records. 91 was also boiling past labor day.. For some reason our most impressive summer heat stats have been focused in June and July in recent years. August and September haven't been able to compete with the extreme heat of earlier times.

Not sure if you've ever been there - its not exactly a rural suburbia. There is no perfect station - park has overgrowth and TEB is running warm on many days this year while Trenton seems a couple lower than usual.

Remember that very weel but 76 was followed by an overall cooler summer. I remember those days pre internet of weather almanacs and the bereau. I lost a laptop that had most of my NYC data prior to the 80s. Been slowly building it back up along with the On this date in weather history. Will try and start adding those into the almanac threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
