The New York Times says 99F in New York on June 24 is caused by the burning of fossil fuels. On May 20, 1962 it was 99F and on April 27 of that year it was 91F.
A Heat Wave Hits New York Earlier Than Usual for a Second Year in a Row – The New York Times
I remember back in June of 1994, before summer even started, New York City had a heatwave with temperatures over 100 degrees for several days in a row, as I recall. I’m definitely sure I’m right about this, and I remember because I was there. It was around the same time as the O.J. Simpson murders and the Bronco chase. I’m sure it was over 100 degrees F for a few days, and I didn’t hear anyone, including the New York Times, say, “Uh oh, climate change.” It was June, and people weren’t surprised that it was hot.
This climate change stuff is just such religious cult nonsense. If the temperature goes over 75 degrees anywhere at any time, the cultists scream about climate change. Ridiculous.
Running the Ventusky weather for June 1994 the high for the month is 93 F on the 19th at 20.00 hrs.
How accurate this is I have no idea, but 93 F as a “feels like” temperature is probably around 100 F.
As far as the displayed temperature for your location matching reality my take on the site is it’s more correct than not.
Try it yourself on https://www.ventusky.com/?p=47;-71;2&l=temperature-2m
I checked Weather Underground. I see that I was wrong. There were 3 straight days over 90 degrees, from June 17th – June 19, with the temnperature topping out at 94 degrees on June 19th, according to Weather Underground.
So, you’re right. I did not remember it correctly. Howwever, 3 straight days of over 90 F before the actuasl start of summer did not elicit agonized cries about “climate change”. No one said a word, as I recall. People just thought it was a heatwave. If there were 3 days in a row nowadays that hit 90 F and over, every lefty lunatic in the world would be foaming at the mouth about climate change. So, my original point I still stand by.
Just the same, you nailed it!
If there is a mean than there are deviations.
And those are regular part of the norm.
Many heatwaves will always happen outside of the mean timeframe.
And how can midsummer with the sun at its highest even be earlier than usual ?
Or was this June 24th a few month ealier than usual?
My guess is that the only abnormal thing here is that June 24th by coincidence (or data adjustment)never had 99 degrees before unlike the other surrounding days and they instantly abused it for FPR – fear propaganda.
Meanwhile in the real world the all time record in the city of perversion is
106 degrees and it happened in 1936 with ” perfect ” co2 levels on July 9 th.
Just 2 weeks after the date when 99 degrees are supposed to be too early.
And without the urban heat island effect and placing weather stations where they should not be, and using short term heat spikes that only last few minutes most of these new records would have never happened.
“Meanwhile in the real world the all time record in the city of perversion is
106 degrees and it happened in 1936 with ” perfect ” co2 levels on July 9 th”
In 1936 temperatures would be measured with properly sited calibrated liquid-in-glass thermometers read by professional meteorologists who were striving for accuracy, not trying to prove warmunist theory.
As opposed to currently where platinum resistance probes automatically record at 5 minute intervals and register a spike in the data stream if you breath on the probe.
I have memorized some statistics from Tony on that second week of July 1936. They come in handy when refuting the “last 20 years are the hottest ever!” To my friends and neighbors, sucked in by climate alarmism, I also remind them that the record high temperature of 120 F, here in Arkansas, was set on August 10, 1936.
I have always wondered how my grandparents handled that heat in this big old house.
Amen
As usual, Tony pulls away the curtain and reveals the truth, leaving the journalists to seek out a safe place where their dream world cannot be challenged.
And then there is the simple fact that a single heat wave is meaningless which respect to what they are trying to show. Did they also check to see if a cold spell came earlier than usual last fall? Last longer than usual? etc. It’s as if they think a single point of data has value.
Absolutely! ‘Climate’ is not defined by extremes. Outliers are THROWN OUT.
Many climate maniacs don’t even know what ‘climate’ means.
The objective is to keep ignorant simpletons in a state of fear. Facts and valid science are irrelevant. Award doctorate degrees to incompetent fools who parrot the narrative, and then watch the Donning Kruger effect in action.
“Journalists” and news media rely upon sensationalism to sell themselves and their sponsors. The average news consumer is not interested nor excited about reports of good news nor nothing unusual.
I recently saw a report about some city, Baltimore, I think, breaking a daily high record set in 1895. Much dismay over the current cause but no interest in why it was so hot 130 years ago.
We can help with that. It is hotter now because of heat trapping terrain, asphalt, rooftops, compact human activities, power generating and consuming equipment. Now they can focus on the question about 130 years ago. Maybe one will win some journalism prize for investigating it.
We used to have a saying on the railroad that “he’s so stupid you can’t insult him!”
That is how it is with these religious cultists.
Fifty-five years ago on June 28, 1969, my brother was married in Pittsburgh where the outside temperature was 102 degrees F. They probably haven’t seen that again since! The church had no AC so I would imagine it was several degrees warmer inside!
In addition to these, one of the most powerful nor’easters of the 20th century hit NY in March of 1962.
today is a historic day in St Cloud Minnesota. our temperature records go back to the 1880s and today is the coldest June 26th in history. current high temperature for the day is 61°. the forecast high for the rest of the day is 62°. if that forecast comes true, the record low high of 64 will have been broken
Thank you for info
I remember reading of the Olympic athletes practicing in NYC prior to boarding a ship for Olympics,in that heat.
Sickens me to see young couples so frightened by this evil BS.
In Deo Speramus
Unseasonably cooler here in the Inland Northwest also, high temp on June 27th was 66°.
‘Climate change is increasingly making weather extremes more common.’
Gross exaggeration.
‘Scorching, record-breaking temperatures on Tuesday kept many people indoors’
Appeal to fear.
‘stoked concerns among those who are the most vulnerable to the heat’
Appeal to pity.
‘as global warming is projected to worsen heat waves and make them more frequent, climate experts say.’
Appeal to fear. Appeal to authority.
‘said David Robinson, the New Jersey state climatologist and a geography professor’
Argumentum ad verecundiam. “I’m a geologist, Jim, not a weather man!”
A bundle of fallacies. You don’t hate journalists enough.
we had a two day heat wave in Minnesota this month. is 2 days long enough to be a heatwave? :-). yesterday St Cloud Minnesota broke their all time cool high.. the old record was 64 set in 1967. new record is 62 set in 2025. fyi… we’re 2 inches above average on rainfall this month and the crops have never looked better at this time of year. I would say that’s the opposite of a climate crisis.
Thanks for deconstructing that bundle of scheiße.
Evidently, graduates of the Joseph Goebbels school of journalism.
For Americans it is the Edward Bernays school.
You English guys have even a whole Institut – it’s Tavistock.
And the Atlantic Council,run by CiA, is instructing them, to protect Operation Mockingbird.
Funny btw that many cities and states in the US like Washington,New Mexico,Nevada set their heatrecords at the end of June – no surprise as end of June is already 1 month into the meteorological summer.
But for NY it has officially become unusual.
off topic… we are all familiar with the economic problems in some blue States, largely caused by high taxation and regulation. two of the biggest offenders that you read about are California and Illinois. now add New York and even my home state of Minnesota to the list, which has had Democrat governors since 2011… trust fund baby Mark Dayton (who was once married to a Rockefeller) and tampon Tim Walz. FYI walz isn’t just nationally famous for being a vice president candidate, before that he was famous for letting Minneapolis burn for days, something like a half a billion dollars in damage. Minnesota used to be a wealthy state but Dayton and walz have changed that. https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2025/06/blue-state-in-free-fall.php
Excellent article. Victoria and its capital “Melbourne” here in Australia would have very similar statistics. Once a very conservative and prosperous State, it has now descendant into a shit hole fueled by years of over-spending by Labor Governments (the equivalent of Democrats here) and over immigration. It is that bad that they have had to ban the purchase of Machetes, the weapon of choice of immigrants from Africa brought in to enrich us. Those with any money behind them are fleeing north to warmer climates in Queensland which has is undergoing a housing shortage and price boom thanks to the influx from Mexicans (our word for peoples from South of the Border no matter their ethnicity).
Headline News!!! boiling hot at Wimbledon in London England. fortunately boiling hot there is not very hot – 89.6. but granted way too hot to be playing tennis in the Sun, at least for me. forecast calls for one more hot day and then ’70s for the next week. nothing unusual. record heat in Southern England at the end of June is 96, and nobody came close to breaking that record today.
Too hot for me too, but when I was young we would play in 90 degree weather with 85% relative humidity in Houston and not think anything of it.
Hoping all is well with you Tony. And best wishes for a happy 4th !
Happy 4th everybody. I’ve mentioned a few times before that I occasionally debate a very nice man who was once the head of the meteorological department at our local University. he has since retired but still writes a daily weather forecast. we got into it again. he stated that the warming started in 1859 and was caused by rising and CO2. I countered by saying that’s when the little ice age ended and CO2 had nothing to do with ending it…. just as CO2 had nothing to do with our entering the little ice age, in the year 1300. I said the rising CO2 is a good thing and he said it’s a bad thing we’re getting dangerously hot in Africa and I pointed out we have no long-term data on Africa. he ended it by giving me a link to a so-called expert on the subject. I pointed out that all the experts of the 1970s said we are 1/6 of the way towards the next ice age. In fairness I’m going to provide the link he gave me and if anybody (Tony?) wants to try and refute it, go for it.. https://www.extension.iastate.edu/agdm/articles/hof/HofJul21.html
June 3rd 2025, I was at the Arctic circle to see all the melted ice. At 39,000 ft and outside temp of MINUS 60 F, all I could see was ice in every direction. The sun was still shining at 11:30 PM, BTW. Wasn’t that much warmer at 28,000 ft at the tropics, clocking in at a MINUS 50 F. I know what you’re thinking, that’s just weather not Climate. The however is…. in as little as 7 years…. 7 years, the Arctic will quietly melt away… spoken by a true profit and Nobel Prize winner in 2007. Climate Change, the ability to believe in the face of strong evidence to the contrary. … Where, oh where is the tropical hotspot, the gold standard of Climate Change?? Reflecting the heat back??? Oh, the heat is hiding in the ocean again??? With hardly any sea level rise. Yes, heated water expands at a given rate and that’s not happening. Exactly how are they convincing so many people Climate Change via co2 is a real thing? Maybe it’s our educational system, we rank 49th out of 50.
Although both articles are from the NYTimes, NYTimes journalist Hiliary Howard probably wouldn’t have a subscription to the NY Times Machine. Why would she? Today’s journalists seem to be script regurgitators for the Agenda.
Oh, but it appears that the former waitress also has an agenda.

too late in the night to look this up but if memory serves wasn’t New York City hit with two hurricanes in the 1930s? if that’s true then it seems like the climates gotten more mild since
Yes! But let’s not tell Hiliary. She’s so deluded, she’d deny it anyway.
New York City was affected by two hurricanes in the 1930s: the 1933 Chesapeake-Potomac hurricane and the notable 1938 New England hurricane, which was particularly devastating. The 1938 hurricane struck Long Island as a Category 3 storm, causing significant damage and loss of life.
New York City experienced two significant hurricanes in the 1930s:
September 21, 1938 New England Hurricane Category 3 Struck Long Island with winds over 132 mph, causing over 60 fatalities and extensive damage.
August 25, 1933 Chesapeake-Potomac Hurricane Category 1 Brought heavy rainfall, causing flooding in Southeast New York State.
Summary of Impacts
The New England Hurricane of 1938 was the most devastating, known for its high winds and significant loss of life.
The Chesapeake-Potomac Hurricane primarily caused heavy rain and localized flooding, with less severe impacts compared to the 1938 storm.
