new member been following for awhile. 95* dp 72 here in lower westchester. very run of the mill heat wave here. dews are down at all reporting stations except LI. seems LI is getting worst of heat today.

Dews were 77-78 all afternoon, then we mixed out a bit to 75, and temp spiked to 99. Pretty cool to watch the atmosphere at work like that

Mine updates every 15 seconds, which is why I hate that they took away the decimals. I prefer precision over eye candy.

I just want my 99 recorded lol. Pretty impressive considering station was in full shade when I hit 99.

yes. pretty unusual for LI to have worst of the heat. esp when you have sites like newark and lag. which must have thermometer under a jet engine.lol

Happened last Sunday too. On a west wind, the air is a downslope and blows across the whole island without going over water. So it actually heats up more as it goes further east. Same reason Boston torches on a west wind. LGA is surrounded by water to the west, so it’s not as hot on West flow days.

Very rare for temp to keep rising here at 3 pm. 97.9 and my sensor is in the shade

My high temp is usually around 4pm for my location I have noticed.  I get a slight drop 2-3 timeframe and then it rises back up until a tad after 4pm.  Probably due to seabreeze clouds imo.

My neighborhood is up to 98-99. Looks like the seabreeze took over the immediate south shore but even there it was well into the 90s today.

Seabreeze never made it north of LIE. Just sitting here at 97/76/112, you know usual July heat lol

Not really sure...I think that the pws seem to record higher dews, so that's the difference in the heat index values....Grain of salt.

Yeah, I think dews are hard to measure exactly. Also, the biggest difference probably is most pws are in someone's backyard surrounded by vegetation or vegetable gardens etc.  That said, in those same conditions I never seen much 78-80 dew until last few years.  So even if it isnt exact to the degree, the trend is real.

The seabreeze basically did nothing.  Still 95 here

Yea it’s going to be a very warm night. Was hoping we would cool off a bit more than we have. Still 96/77/112 here

other places that got torrential downpours did not affect todays' temps only central park..

it hit 95* in the park today. 95* also here in Pelham. 93* in white plains.  95* is probably accurate for the park but not for 34 street and 7th ave (i can walk on my grass without shoes today but not the driveway). just like lga does not represent most of northern queens as it(lga) runs way to hot esp at night.
