bluewave Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Looks we have a new 75 or greater average dew point streak record at JFK of 4 days in a row. Previous record appears to be 2 days set in 2005 and 1995. Only 2 day 75 or greater dew point streaks at JFK that I could find...could not find any 3 day streaks.. 7/25/95...76 7/26/95...76 7/18/05...75 7/19/05..75 8/10/16..75 8/11/16..76 8/12/16..75 8/13/16..77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow that must've been a spectacular sight. I can only recall experiencing two other continuous lightning events, there was one back in late 2014 in Suffolk and one last summer in Orlando. Neither storm was nearly as impressive as last night, however all three occurred at night/sundown. It's a shame last night's storms weren't directly overhead though. Another 80F low for me, I've been at 80F or greater for roughly 50 hours and counting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hottest here since Jul 18 2013. Same here as well at 78. Very impressive to spend most of the night in the 80s at our latitude in the suburbs. Hoping to top yesterday's 96.4.

Isotherm Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Stronger WLY winds today are more conducive to furnace the coastal plain. EWR 92 right now - same pace as yesterday - but I think they'll peak hotter due to the wind direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know the last time excessive heat warnings were issued in New England? Aside from this year of course. This seems to be a pretty noteworthy period. Id guess Jul 19, 2013.

dWave Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 After losing power friday night I ended up going to Long Beach yday which was less oppressive than these bx streets. That water was remarkably warm. I've been in some warm water here but if you go deeper you can feel pockets of cooler water but the water yday I felt no difference anywhere. That south wind got strong in the afternoon, I was thinking a strong wind off some ridiculously warm water in an already very humid air mass could create that 84 dew pt at JFK. Plus Jamaica bay and all that marshland around must be a steam bath. Seems like a good spot to record a high dew pt. Sandy Hook water temp is 84. Did touch 85 for a time.

Strong onshore wind stops upwelling from bringing up cool water from deeper down. Offshore wind causes a higher air temp but also causes upwelling which cools down the water. I can't remember ever seeing 80+ dewpoints at JFK, the water must have been extremely warm for NYC's latitude and carrying tons of moisture. Essentially what happens at the Gulf Coast.
