If it's any consolation most people get their weather from weather apps on their phone. Most apps just point to the closest official obs station, not holding central park in any special regard. For a large portion of NYC you'll get LGA readings and statistics.

it actually feels worse when you have temps in the 80s with high humidity vs low 90s and low humidity.  I notice I use my a/c far more in the former conditions.  High humidity is really hard to tolerate especially because it causes air pollutants to remain close to the ground and causes breathing difficulties and heightens allergies and asthma.  Temps staying up at night because of that is also a big problem.

When JFK gets a sea breeze and is in the low 80s vs LGA in the low or mid 90s people look at that and think, wow JFK and the south shore is so lucky!  I wish they'd see the dew points and think again, yesterday LGA was 91 degrees with a dew point of 54 while JFK was 84 with a dew point of 72- YUCK!

This looks like a 1996-type summer to me as of right now.

One of the few days I probably will.  Those winds when they pick up a tad knock the temp down only to rebound and repeat the cycle. I seem to go up to 89 and down to 88 as winds gust to 8 mph.

At my parent’s house, Muttontown, it hit 90.1 so far.  Definitely need to set up the new VP2 I have for here as the fan in the FARS is making noise plus my anemometer is shot. 

your spot seems to be the best for radiational cooling in the winter for Nassau County and retains snowcover exceptionally well!

Let's not forget 1966 during this period.     From June 20 to July 15 a total of 26 days---and 19 of them were in the 90's, with 4. 100's mixed in.

103 on July 03 in the Central Park, with 107! at LaG, topped the bunch.

Was warmest summer to that time, I think.  37 days of at least 90 degrees.

Aw!   The Good Ole Days,---when I could almost tolerate that kind of continuous heat.  Lol.

it was easier to tolerate because it was less humid back then.  Heck you dont even have to look that far back.  1999 and 2010 were easier to tolerate because the humidity was less back then too.  Plus seeing the thermo hit 100 was quite fun!

Notice the 11 year pattern with our hot/dry summers?  Perhaps they will return in 2021.....

Tame high temperatures by early July 2010’s standards. The Newark high of 90 for the first 4 days is on the cool side for this decade. But the minimum of 77 was tied for the highest. So a continuation of the warm minimums being more impressive than the maximums.

^^Damn I'm tired of these warm nights. Not only does it skew things and make people think it's warmer than it is when they see the stats but more importantly it's messing with my garden. Between too much rain and general moisture and too much warmth without recovery times things just aren't growing right. My carrots and tomatoes can't seem to dry out and really get growing and I've already lost a few plants to too much water. I miss those times when nights, even in the heart of the warm season, would make it into the 50's a few times a week. It seems that the forest understory appreciates this overnight warmth though, things like ground growth plants and poison ivy/oak are having themselves a big ol' time this year :( 

Not quite IMBY but close, I have an outdoor event tomorrow on the central CT coast, near New London. What are the chances the heavy rain stays away until after 5pm? I have a feeling that's very wishful thinking but I'm hoping someone can tell me it's not.

Saturday looks like it will be our highest dewpoints of the season so far. The dewpoints are already pushing 80 degrees to our south. So heavy downpours and localized flash flooding will be possible with any training convection.

Tomorrow will have cooling aloft just like last sunday across Long Island. 

it's nowhere to that degree though.  Models hold off on storms until very late as well...you won't have the destructive sunshine like last weekend when the storms rolled in much earlier.

Read that them having 5 straight days of 85+ would be like NYC having 5 straight days of 101+

They reached 90, that's incredible for them.

The record of consecutive 80+ was 4 I believe. 

Breaking an all time record by 5 is very impressive. Major heat (relative to normal) has been a common theme there.

Imagine a high of 111 in the Park.

Anyone think we'll see 110 at any of the NYC stations in our lifetimes?

And up here I have to water every single day to keep gardens from crumbling into dust...

PWATs will be over 2" tomorrow and we have this weak upper feature currently over WV moving overhead - the past 2 days this has produced widespread PM storms over the Mid-Atlantic and interior NE.

Development has been occurring by late morning, so I think we could see storms off/on throughout the afternoon tomorrow. The frontal feature to our N doesn't move through until late evening.

Agree with the heavy rain threat with PWATS that high....

4th 75 degree dewpoint  day of the year for JFK. Only 6 more needed for the first 4 consecutive years streak  in the double digits.

What happened to the data for about 20 years at Central Park, early 1980;s to 2000?
