It's a hot start to summer, but let the rest play out. Yeah, sometimes August turns cooler, but the past few July's have been brutal 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latest WPC still rather wet from city west into NJ. Central L.I. on eastward not so much. Will need another day or two to see how this plays out. Seems overall though the guidance has been trending to push the wettest area to the left. Not rooting for flooding rains but I'd just like an inch or so between now and Friday night to keep things watered. I should be able to get it out this way. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not rooting for flooding rains but I'd just like an inch or so between now and Friday night to keep things watered. I should be able to get it out this way. I'll be heading outside to water the garden shortly. I didn't even get a half inch of rain last week, so it has become dry here again. It looks likely that the rain is gonna miss me to the west on Wednesday, although you might have a better shot at seeing something there in NW Jersey. If some of the latest models are correct, a lot of the area might have to wait until late Friday for a better chance. Looks as if I might have to do a lot of watering this week since we might not see much until the end of the week. With the very high humidity, I'm hopeful that we'll see some downpours that give us the 1 to 2 inches that we want to give everything a nice watering at the end of the week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quickly turning into a dry week, unfortunately. Hopefully the stalled front moves west as we get closer for Friday. I think it has a shot with the ridge flexing 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect if you looked at the station metadata, it was installed on a rooftop. Without some sort of correction or adjustment, hard to draw any sort of conclusion about the trend in 100+ heat at JFK.

I suspect if you looked at the station metadata, it was installed on a rooftop. Without some sort of correction or adjustment, hard to draw any sort of conclusion about the trend in 100+ heat at JFK. Edit: Confirmed. We can see the extreme thermometers were installed on a roof of the Administration Building through December 18, 1957, then on a rooftop of the International Arrival Building through at least May 26, 1961. A hygrothermometer was first installed 3400' south of the International Arrival Building at an appropriate 4' AGL on May 26, 1961. Prior to that installation, all of the readings were noncompliant, rooftop readings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect if you looked at the station metadata, it was installed on a rooftop. Without some sort of correction or adjustment, hard to draw any sort of conclusion about the trend in 100+ heat at JFK. JFK needs westerly flow to reach 100°. Most of our heatwaves over the last decade have had too much southerly flow component due to the elongation of the subtropical ridge to the east of New England. It could also be that they moved the location of the ASOS back in the 1990s. Remember that JFK is the 9th largest airport in the U.S. at 8.1 sq miles. The current ASOS is located in a marshy area close to Woodmere in the 5 towns area of Long Island. The section of the airport closer to Ozone Park is at least 3-5° warmer. If the old weather station was located closer to that area it could also show another way JFK is getting more sea breeze influence in its readings.
