SnoSki14 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 5 hours ago, CIK62 said: Next 8 days jumps to +11degs. (87 vs. 76). Is the average low really 68 in Central Park, at mid-summer anymore? This means we will be near +4.1degs. by the 26th. That's surprising well above what I would've expected given that highs are likely to stay below 95 and it's the hottest time of year. Seems we had lower departures in the past with much greater max temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the more clouds and humidity are why the minimums have been rising faster than the maxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dWave Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 They are all here http://www.climatecentral.org/gallery/graphics/summers-getting-muggier-as-dewpoint-temp-rises A product of warmer ocean temps I assume. Also, maybe that's a factor in warmer overnight lows, which seem to be pushing positive departures more than the daytime highs. Consistently very warm as opposed to short bursts of extreme heat.

JerseyWx Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I can see a big Towering Cumulus cloud out to my east. Is that the one psv mentioned was over the island? I'm pretty high up and have a clear view of the open sky to the east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few years back I was sitting on the beach in the evening at Tobay (eastern Nassau) and was watching lighting out over the ocean way off in the distance. It was the only storm around on an otherwise clear as could be night. I looked at the radar on my phone and the cell was way south of Montauk. I estimated it was at least 120 miles away from my location maybe even 150. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongBeachSurfFreak Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 It's awful sitting on the subway platform right now waiting for the subway. The heat index down here has to be well over 100. Sweat is pouring down my face despite wearing shorts and a tank top. I do not and will not ever understand why people pay millions to live on this island.

I estimated it was at least 120 miles away from my location maybe even 150. I agree with that. Very interesting scenario, and pretty impressive. The nice part about my view is that I have a really wide open clearing to the east. With other parts of Butler, and most towns in the metro for that matter, if you look up in the sky you can only see straight up and not very far because of trees and other obstructions (excluding mountainous areas of course). Being that I'm at the top of a very gradual hill though, you can see clouds very far out into the eastern sky, and apparently all the way out to Long Island.
