forkyfork Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 29 minutes ago, bluewave said: I would think that it's mostly the winds and clouds being more favorable for warmer LGA afternoon highs and warmer overnight lows compared to Newark. Several days this summer LGA was able to get warmer due to clouds staying more to the west when it put a lid on Newark high temperatures. Also ideal conditions for warmer mins at LGA. July 2011 was the reverse where Newark was the hot spot ahead of LGA. Other times the temps and departures are closer. newark's avg high for july was 88.9 while lga's was 88.5. the disparity is entirely due to low temps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely the most impressive week of the summer by far; this heat wave blows the late July one out of the water locally (both in terms of high and low temperatures). I've also had 5 consecutive nights > 70F (3 of those > 75) which is extremely impressive for my area. The first night of the heat wave was 69F, so it just missed. For me the July heatwave was slightly hotter..and I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluewave Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Looks like JFK is closing in on the most consecutive hours with a dew point of 70 degrees or greater. JFK is currently at 156 hrs beginning 8 pm on August 9th. The record appears to be 178 hrs set in August 2003. It should be close with the models finally dropping the dew points below 70 tomorrow morning. JFK recently set the record for most consecutive days with a 75 or greater dew point at 4 from 8/10-8/13. 8/13 would also be the highest daily dew point at 84 and daily average of 77.

The 'harbor entrance' buoy 44065 was put out in 2008. The one south of fire island, 44025, has been there since 1975. There have been a ton of new buoys put out in the local waters and globally the last decade or so. I am also not convinced 44025 hit its record high water temp the other day in the low 80s. I feel like I can remember other times over the years it was in the low to mid 80s (of course I'm too lazy to look through the data). Sometimes all it takes is a stray eddie to spin up off of the gulf steam and you get a few hours of 80+ water. http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
