No doubt the way things are at the crossroads, right now. As always ….

[SACRUS]

It would be nice if all the seasonal forecasts from the Euro were this good.

nyc only had  2 days of over 90 degree heat and doubtful we hit 90 today so officially nyc would not have had a heatwave..

the majority of nyc residents experienced a four day heat wave

Its interesting hear the, "this wasn't a hot summer" takes.   Even if stations end up below normal for summer they're still likely making the top 20 warmest summers list.   Think about that for a minute.  It's pretty wild.

Central Park and areas right on the south facing waters didn’t and that's it.   Saying NYC didn’t get a heatwave is ridiculous.

Quick shower popped up dropped to 84, see if the cloud breaks get here and temps rebound. Otherwise 87/88 is the high at my stations.

I didn’t on the N Shore either at both my stations FWIW.

Both ISP and FRG recorded heat waves. (ISP hit 90 today).

your readings are too low. Maybe they are too close to grass, trees, etc. 

no way all of the LI stations, which are LIE south record a heat wave and you do not.

Your stations are too low…even westhampton and Brookhaven hit 90 today!

Of course, we go back to the Central Park monitoring station.  Seems the government never wants to listen...

88 here, down from 93.

I’ve had less sun today and got a pop up shower. My stations are fine. Both VP2 with fan shields on them. Is your station fan aspirated?  Are the stations around you fan aspirated too?  Good for FRG and ISP I don’t live at those locations.  
 

What’s even more hilarious is the Muttontown station should be hot as can be since it’s on a tripod 6’ over the pool patio stone at my parent’s house baking in the sun, yet it’s not.

 I think what makes this summer feel less hot  is the constant breaks we've had.  The heat waves while impressive have been short lived.  We had the very cold Memorial Day weekend even though technically not summer cool 4th of July weekend  and then 2 cool weeks from late July into the 1st week of August.   the hot summers I remember is the relentless  90ﾟ heat from late June into early to mid August before we get that 1st refreshing cold front.  And those hot summers were usually dry too.  This year it's 3 or 4 hours of nineties with 100ﾟ heat index before a thunderstorm cools things off late afternoon

88 to 84 back up to 87

[weathermedic]

Sun back out and up to 89. W-NW wind. Waiting for humidity to lower.

Edit: up to 91 now DP 72 Wind: SW 5 mph

[uofmiami]

Back to 88 at both stations after the drop from 84, see if 89/90 can be reached the next hour.

 The front is East of Scranton and South of Albany another nice break from the heat coming up

So it’s near a pool?

if all of the local ASOS sites are well above your readings that’s an indication your readings are off. I don’t know what else to say. 

[psv88]

89/73 for Westhampton, that’s nasty and high end stuff for them

[CIK62]

Central Park screwed up T again at 87* for 4pm.        With a W wind (250) everywhere, even I am at  91* for 4pm.    92*(50%RH) at 4:30pm.
