Friday's temperature records
Record breaking temperatures from some select cities. I will update this blog as new records are set.
(Updated at 1:30pm PDT, 4:30pm EDT)
All-Time High Temperature
Newark, NJ
A record high temperature of 108 degrees was set at Newark NJ today. This breaks the old record of 101 set in 1957 and the all time record of 105 set on August 9, 2001. Records began at newwark NJ in 1931.
Bridgeport, CT
A record high temperature of 103 degrees was tied at Bridgeport CT today. This ties the old record of 103 set in 1957. This is also the all time high for Bridgeport.
Hartford, CT
At 406 PM the temperature reached 103 degrees at Bradley International Airport. This sets a new record high temperature for todays date for Hartford CT. The previous record was 101 degrees in 1926. The temperature of 103 degrees also sets an all time record high temperature for Hartford. The previous record of 102 degrees was set on multiple dates of July 6 2010...August 9 of 2001 and July 3 of 1996.
Washington Dulles, DC
A new record daily maximum temperature of 105 degrees was set at Washington Dulles DC on Friday. This breaks the old record of 98 set on this day in 1998. This breaks the old all time record max of 104F set twice...on July 16 1988 and again on August 20 1983.
Daily High Temperature
Central Park, NY
A record high temperature of 104 degrees was set at Central Park NY today. This breaks the old record of 101 set in 1957.
Islip, NY
A record high temperature of 100 degrees was set at Islip NY today. This breaks the old record of 96 set in 1998.
JFK International Airport, NY
A record high temperature of 103 degrees was set at JFK today. This breaks the old record of 98 set in 1998.
Baltimore, MD
A new record daily maximum temperature of 106 degrees was set at Baltimore MD on Friday. This breaks the old record of 101 set in 1957.

Seek Relief and hydrate oneself and others if possible.
Stay Indoors in the Air conditioning or find a community cooling center.
NEW YORK — Americans withered under yet another day of searing sun Friday as a heat wave spread in earnest into the urban core of the Northeast, while excessive heat warnings stretched from Kansas to Maine and the Carolinas.
Temperatures were forecast near or into the triple digits Friday and into the weekend.
The high temperatures and smothering humidity will force up the heat indexes. Boston's 99 degrees on Friday could feel like 105 degrees; Philadelphia's 102 degrees like 114 degrees and Washington, D.C.'s 103 degrees could seem like 116.
It's enough to test the patience of a saint.
Taking her morning walk with temperatures already soaring near 90, Sister Elizabeth Ann Hughes of St. Thomas Aquinas Roman Catholic Church in Philadelphia offered her simple strategy – go out only when it's relatively cool and stay in the air conditioning when it's not.
"I walk in the shade and get out of the sun before 10 a.m.," she said.
In New York, people looking to beat the heat were thwarted by warnings urging them to avoid city waterways after a wastewater treatment plant disabled by fire began spewing millions of gallons of raw sewage into the Hudson River.
Officials cautioned against swimming and bathing at four beaches in the city boroughs of Staten Island and Brooklyn, especially for people with medical conditions.
Across the country, emergency room visits were way up, according to public health officials, mainly because of people suffering from heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
The weather is suspected of contributing to a number of deaths nationwide. At least six more fatalities were reported Thursday, including a Michigan restaurant cook who suffered a heart attack after being sent home from his job and a teenage boy who drowned while swimming at summer camp in the same state.
In Chicago Thursday night, hundreds of children and more than a few adults cavorted in a shallow pool of the Crown Fountain in Chicago's Millennium Park. Temperatures hovered around 90 degrees in the park, about half mile from the shores of Lake Michigan.
Christopher and Renee Mickles said they came out in the evening to give their 3-year-old a little exercise after being cooped up in their air conditioned house.
"It didn't cool off, but at least the sun isn't out," he said.
A Pittsburgh man slipped as he worked on the roof of his cousin's home on Thursday and found himself stuck for nearly two hours because of the hot tar he'd been using.
Lamont Robinson said the slick tar kept him from climbing to safety after he slipped. He said he was "baking like a turkey" before his rescue. Temperatures were in the low-90s.
In Connecticut, a dozen Girl Scouts were treated for heat-related problems at a scout camp.
None of the girls required hospitalization, but New Fairfield First Selectman John Hodge says they spent Thursday night in the camp's cafeteria after workers brought in industrial fans to help cool them off.
Philadelphia's public schools canceled summer classes Thursday and Friday, while Allentown to the north waived fees at its public pools.
Special dangers can come at night, experts warn, if the temperatures don't cool enough to provide relief.
While the current heat wave has recorded 12 all-time daily highs so far this month, it also has registered 98 all-time overnight highs, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reported at a briefing Thursday.
__
Associated Press writers Randolph E. Schmid in Washington, John Seewer in Toledo, Herb McCann in Chicago and Jeff McMillan in Philadelphia contributed to this report.
Hartford (Windsor Locks), CT set its all time high, 103 (old record 102).
The Newark temperatures just have to have an exposure or equipment problem. I saw 108, which is about 5 degrees higher than any other nearby site. Central Park, LaGuardia, and Kennedy all came in around 102 or 103.
NYC sites are within a mile or two from the water which may have a very slight attenuating factor. Newark on the other hand is in the heart of a heavily urbanized area, absorbing heat in concrete, asphalt and steel, while being too far from the ocean/Hudson to expect any relief. Agree though that instruments should also be checked...location is typically warmer than others.
Newark is consistently a lot warmer than all of the other NYC sites, including Central Park, which is also in an urbanized area away from water. Given that nobody else in the immediate area read higher than 104 (Central Park), and that only stations well to the south and west read higher than 104 (Reading, PA, Trenton, NJ, North Philadelphia, Baltimore), I have a *lot* of trouble believing 108, and breaking its all-time record (dating to 1931, so including the 1936 hot shot that set Central Park's record of 106) by three degrees. Something's fishy about it.
And it's not like its good news for the Newark Chamber of Commerce. Doesn't exactly motivate people or businesses to move there. In their own interest to check/relocate the monitoring station to a location representative of the area. Is it at the airport, with all that hot runway?
Excessive Heat Warning
Statement as of 7:47 PM EDT on July 22, 2011
... Excessive heat warning remains in effect until 10 PM EDT this
evening...
... Excessive heat warning remains in effect from 10 am to 8 PM
EDT Saturday...
* temperature... high temperatures Saturday around 100.
* Heat index values... up to 112.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
An excessive heat warning means that a prolonged period of
dangerously hot temperatures will occur. The combination of hot
temperatures and high humidity will create a dangerous situation
in which heat illnesses are likely. Drink plenty of water... stay
in an air-conditioned room... stay out of the sun... and check on
relatives and neighbors.
Take extra precautions if you work or spend time outside. When
possible... reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or
evening. Know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat
stroke. Wear lightweight and loose-fitting clothing.
To reduce risk during outdoor work... the occupational safety and
health administration recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks
in shaded or air-conditioned environments. Anyone overcome by
heat should be moved to a cool and shaded location. Heat stroke
is an emergency - call 9 1 1.
Air Quality Alert
Statement as of 4:28 PM EDT on July 22, 2011

Newark does run a little warm. It's all relative when talking about breaking its own record high temperatures though.
Almost all official stations are sited at the airport. Airports actually provide a cooler mean environment for the instruments as opposed to having them sited in the city themselves. However, they need to be sited according to the official standards like at least 100ft from any blacktop. Not sure where Newarks instruments are sited.
The National Weather Service got smart in the mid-1900's and moved weather instruments out of the inner city to the more standardized cooler airport environments.
Those without fans
Plug in or battery operated
One of our readers reminded me recently that it’s been a long time since our last Moose Report, so let’s get with it:
THE HEAT WAVE THAT SWEPT THE EAST THIS WEEK drove many folks to the beach to cool off. In York, Maine, beachgoers last weekend were joined by a moose that wandered out of the woodland and enjoyed a 30-minute romp in the surf. Everybody just kept an eye on her until she had enough and then left, trotting back into the brush. WMTW-TV Ch. 8 filed this video report of the surprise visitor:
Baltimore Harbor MD had a minimum of 88F, mean temperature 98F, high temperature 108F. No records available there. Obviously that station isn't up to official siting standards, but it's neat to see what kind of temperatures occur in an inner-city environment. Center City Philadelphia low 84F, high 106F. Philly airport 83F - 103F.

Related ContentNew NASA Data Blow Gaping Hole In Global Warming Alarmism
NASA satellite data from the years 2000 through 2011 show the Earth's atmosphere is allowing far more heat to be released into space than alarmist computer models have predicted, reports a new study in the peer-reviewed science journal Remote Sensing. The study indicates far less future global warming will occur than United Nations computer models have predicted, and supports prior studies indicating increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide trap far less heat than alarmists have claimed.
Study co-author Dr. Roy Spencer, a principal research scientist at the University of Alabama in Huntsville and U.S. Science Team Leader for the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer flying on NASA's Aqua satellite, reports that real-world data from NASA's Terra satellite contradict multiple assumptions fed into alarmist computer models.
"The satellite observations suggest there is much more energy lost to space during and after warming than the climate models show," Spencer said in a July 26 University of Alabama press release. "There is a huge discrepancy between the data and the forecasts that is especially big over the oceans."
In addition to finding that far less heat is being trapped than alarmist computer models have predicted, the NASA satellite data show the atmosphere begins shedding heat into space long before United Nations computer models predicted.
The new findings are extremely important and should dramatically alter the global warming debate.
Scientists on all sides of the global warming debate are in general agreement about how much heat is being directly trapped by human emissions of carbon dioxide (the answer is "not much"). However, the single most important issue in the global warming debate is whether carbon dioxide emissions will indirectly trap far more heat by causing large increases in atmospheric humidity and cirrus clouds. Alarmist computer models assume human carbon dioxide emissions indirectly cause substantial increases in atmospheric humidity and cirrus clouds (each of which are very effective at trapping heat), but real-world data have long shown that carbon dioxide emissions are not causing as much atmospheric humidity and cirrus clouds as the alarmist computer models have predicted.
The new NASA Terra satellite data are consistent with long-term NOAA and NASA data indicating atmospheric humidity and cirrus clouds are not increasing in the manner predicted by alarmist computer models. The Terra satellite data also support data collected by NASA's ERBS satellite showing far more longwave radiation (and thus, heat) escaped into space between 1985 and 1999 than alarmist computer models had predicted. Together, the NASA ERBS and Terra satellite data show that for 25 years and counting, carbon dioxide emissions have directly and indirectly trapped far less heat than alarmist computer models have predicted.
In short, the central premise of alarmist global warming theory is that carbon dioxide emissions should be directly and indirectly trapping a certain amount of heat in the earth's atmosphere and preventing it from escaping into space. Real-world measurements, however, show far less heat is being trapped in the earth's atmosphere than the alarmist computer models predict, and far more heat is escaping into space than the alarmist computer models predict.
When objective NASA satellite data, reported in a peer-reviewed scientific journal, show a "huge discrepancy" between alarmist climate models and real-world facts, climate scientists, the media and our elected officials would be wise to take notice. Whether or not they do so will tell us a great deal about how honest the purveyors of global warming alarmism truly are.

Washington, Baltimore & Philadelphia set their warmest month on record in July. Other stations in the northeast have set records as well. Waiting for all that to be released.
Further more, he has not given me the climate driver responsible for the warming world. There must always be, at all times, an explanation of why the world is cooling or warming at any length of time. The answer of "no there doesn't" is invalid and "I don't know" is unacceptable. Whether it be solar activity, volcanic acivity, changes in the earth's tilt, changes in earth's orbital path, deforestation (which in turn releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere). Thankfully there has been considerable reforestation here in the United States. The only climate driver that makes sense here is an overabundance of greenhouse gases and the explanation of why there is an overabundance of them.
The main problem here is that a warming world caused by human activities is devastating to selfish and gready corporations who rely heavily on the "old world" way of doing things. As soon as the overwhelming majority of scientists in all of the sciences said we have detected an ever increasing oversaturation of greenhouse gases in our atmosphere in unison with an increasing global temperature along with a dissapearing ice cap and an extinction of life at an alarming rate in both land and water, those selfish and gready corporations who know nothing about the climate began to throw unsubstantiated wrenches and curveballs into the science to the detriment of the rest of us. It all trickles down heavily into politics and it's sickening, absolutely sickening that they're feeding this bullshit and people are buying it, buying it from people who don't know crap about climate science. We always have to remember that politicians, everyone of them no matter which side, have risen to that position because of an unhealthy power trip. Of course we need top politicians, but they are willing to say anything to pave the way to the top of the mountain, and that includes the denial of science just to get there. It is important to strip politics completely away and go to the science for the truth.
It's incredible to me that what climate scientists had predicted decades ago for the future is actually beginning to come true. Of course extreme events have all occured in the past. The number and intensity of these events are on the increase. The temperature of the troposphere continues to rise. We are just in the infant stages of it all and the number of extreme events due to the increase in the earth's atmospheric energy will continue. My main concern is what happens when climate feedbacks begin to really take hold. A small example of a climate feedback is what's happening in the Texas region right now. As it continues to heat up, the ground continues to dry out. The dry ground allows the air to heat up. The hotter air dries the ground further and the situation spirals out of control. Eventually, you get a high pressure ridge that is stuck over the area, altering the usual climate pattern over the United States. Just a small change in any of the parameters causes a large fluctuation in the climate pattern. These types of events will continue to increase in number.
Another cause of concern are things like when the ice caps dissapear, will all that fresh water affect the circulation of the Gulf Stream?
I am curious about how humanity will handle these changes. I realize that human beings are like no other when it comes to adaptation. I'm not one of those who think that climate change signals the end of the world or anything. I sit somewhere in the middle and think that some of the richer countries will be able to adapt. For us, it's going to be very expensive and the way things are done in the United States as we know it are going to be dramatically altered. It's more the poorer countries that I am worried about. They don't have the means to adapt and I believe there will be mass migrations of people in those areas and turf wars over food and water sources will take hold. Overpopulation will become a much bigger issue there. I think the world as a whole will struggle with these issues but we will find a way to adapt to it and life will find a way to go on, albeit with sincere regrets.
If you don't believe it, then I guess just sit back and watch it all unfold while the skeptics remain trapped in denial to the bitter ending. Unfotunately, at that point it is too late. Obviously, we may or may not be around to witness the brunt of those kinds of changes in our lifetimes, but our children and grandchildren definately will, and they will have us to thank.
