Is 2 weeks of 90+ weather normal for the NYC area?

I've lived here for 6 1/2 years and can't remember it being this hot and humid for this long.

1. It wasn't in Boston when I lived there

A week of it was usually a remarkable heat wave and temperatures would drop into the slightly less oppressive 80s by the time the week was up.

NYC and Boston aren't that far apart as far as weather goes. When one is hot and soggy, the other will be, too, except it happens a little later for Boston.

7. This areas been brutal the last few years, Warpy.

Right now is 95 up where I am, and only 88 in NYC. Hell, its hotter here than it is in Florida at this moment. It definitely never used to be like this! I only a decade or so ago, my friend in Cali would call just to tease me about how warm it was there compared to here (because I love the heat). Now Its the exact opposite. Its like living in a different place.

9. 95 is hotter than Texas. It is just 92 here.

10. See.

Thats just not right. And the "feels like" temp right now is 102!!! It should never be hotter way up here than in TX. Its just wrong. Completely backwards!

3. Back in the 80s and 90s..

that would happen from time to time. I had no air conditioning growing up, so I remember the heat.

5. Shit, when I lived in DC a 90 degree day in July was a cold spell

6. It's only been in the 70s and 80s here in the deep south. Only 77 this afternoon

but then we've had lots of clouds and rain the past five days.

in some air conditioning.
