That's insane to think about.  Crazy how I remember it being an especially warm summer, meanwhile it got off to a cool(er) start.

i thought we would roast after june 2008 but the extreme heat pattern never came back

the summer of 1976 started with a warm June...April set all time heat records...The rest of the summer was generally cool...2002 was similar but the summer turned out hot...

The big story of the 70's was that the heatwaves had no lasting power. Even the famous summer of 77 only had a single 10 day hot stretch that it's remembered for.

It was an impressive heatwave during those 10 days back in July 1977. That old Belvedere Castle observing site in Central Park was the hottest around beating EWR and LGA.

Max temp July 1977 heatwave...NYC...104...LGA....99....EWR....102

They are not.  We are receiving a heavy downpour out here in Bethlehem, PA right now.  There is lightning with these which is all up in the clouds - no ground strikes - so far.  No wind gusts to speak of with it either.  0.28" in the rain gauge in the past 15 minutes.  Not sure whether these will get to you folks around NY metro or if they will stay to the north and west.
