Interesting that none of the years on your list were +ENSO / oncoming El Nino's, which tend to produce a cooler signal across the East. We'll have to wait and see how the pattern evolves over the next couple months, as I'm not sold on a classic +ENSO / cool summer at this point. Could easily see how we're hot to perhaps very hot. Teleconnection indices such as the NAO aren't as effective in terms of predicting the upstream pattern in the warm season; in fact, strong -NAO's have often been part and parcel of blowtorch summers in the Northeast.

+PNA doesn't have the same effect during the warm season either, correct?

No .

 

NW flow is cooler ( relative to averages )  for the area as long as there is no ridging on the EC .  

 

That is like saying a SE ridge should not produce warmer than normal temps in the winter months .

The funny thing is it will have the reverse effect along the coast in May once insulational heating overcomes the cooler air comming down from Canada. To clarify an offshore NW wind will produce highs in the 60s in May with sunny skies. With the flow off water that will still be in the 40s temps would be at least ten degrees cooler right on the coast with an onshore flow. So in the end it could wind up being warmer then it other wise would have been. Also remove the marine layer and it's clouds and it would actually help the water to warm up faster. So it's a big positive feed back

You're awesome, keep posting. I'd advise against making early calls based on the March profile. Considering the unusual nature in which the record March was achieved.

 

We will more than likely not have anything colder than a slightly above average summer. Mabye something like summer 2013. April 2013 had a mini-heatwave. I could see that happening for someone down the road.

 

Like LBSurf said, southerly flow is no good this time of the year, and more often than not precludes hideous backdoor cold fronts like last year.

Most summers have been above average in recent years, of course 2004 and 2009 are the exceptions so it seems that 1 degree higher than the 1981-2010 norms is the new normal.

 

This past summer only had 8 days of above 90 degrees at KNYC.

Wow was 2010 hot. For me summer can go two ways, either we smash heat records or let the summer be relatively cool.

I hate being stuck in the middle because conditions are still unpleasant but fall short of records.

It's like in sports, either you're a top seed or all the way on the bottom scoring high draft picks. The middle is the dead zone.

The 15 year average from 2000-2014 is +0.5 at NYC and +1.4 at LGA.

Last year there were only 4 days over 90 degrees in NYC and 2 occured in meterological fall, September. The highest was 92 reached only once. I found it surprising that summer in NYC was right on norm average temperature wise, I had always assumed last summer was at the very least slightly below average. Give me last summer every year and I'm fine with that.

The warm summer trend is more apparent at KPHL and KDCA, too lazy to run the numbers tho.

Having lived in philly burbs before coming back home I could attest to the warming summers down there. North of Allentown makes a big difference!

2011...20......2......104.....81.0

2012...19......1......100.....79.5

2013...17......0........98.....81.7

2014.....8......0........92.....76.6

Crazy to see that between 1958 and 1976, there was only one summer (1966) that featured 100-degree temps and that, in that same year, it happened a (tied) record of four times.

Great stats as always, Unc!

I remember 66 well...there wasn't much ac around back then...many highways buckled in the heat around July 4th...between 1956 and 1976 only one year had a 30 day period averaging 80 or higher...that happened three times from 2010-2013...last years max was only 92...it hit 100 three years in a row from 2010-2012...the 1950's had the most years hitting 100 degrees...it hit 100 on 17 days from 1948 to 1957...

with the upcoming -AMO, I'd venture to say we see less Atlantic blocking in the winter as well.

-AMO corresponds with +NAO and +AO. In addition -AMO corresponds to a lower number of hurricanes and less intense hurricanes that do form. It also means that cyclones/nor'easters are less intense due to the cooler waters off the east coast. Cooler north atlantic waters and cooler atlantic tropics

Makes sense.  Major canes were rare in the 80's and early 90's (with Hugo, Andrew and Gloria being exceptions) and the big noreaster's we've seen since 2000 also less common.   Going to be a boring stretch coming up if that's what we're going back to.

I don't agree with your first sentence. The correlation is a fairly weak one at that. The following list isn't totally inclusive, but are examples of numerous winters with a -AMO and -NAO or -AO:

 

1963-64

1964-65

1965-66

1967-68

1968-69

1969-70

1970-71

1976-77

1977-78

1978-79

1984-85

1986-87

1993-94

 

 

Many of which on that list were some of our coldest/snowiest winters on record. Broad-brush type relationships don't work out that well, e.g. +PDO = cold east, -PDO = warm east, as an example. There are some many variables and perturbations that we rarely see a 1:1 correlation b/t a specific index and our weather.
