Boston had a scorcher on the June 26, 1952. Temperatures peaked at +100.2°F (+37.8°C) to tie their all time record June temperature of +100°F from June 6th, 1925.
The next month, July 1952 ended up being warmest on record at that time..(until 1984, 1993, 2019)
3 yrs later in 1955 July was 2nd warmest.
Funny you bring this up now. Boston just hit 100 yesterday I believe. I hit 100 here on LI, first time in June since 2017! Only the fourth time ever in history too. 1952 as you mentioned, and 2008 as well.
Wonder if the Climate was changing back then too. I think after the 1930s it stopped. Then back in the 1950s. Then stopped. Luckily Rhode Island hasn't seen a stronger hurricane since then
All it takes is a little time & digging and you'll find the extreme events of the past. Problem is, before cell phones, rain gauges, and internet it gets harder to find. I even added Australia to this because you know, the globe is a big place.

Interesting.NYC had a run of the same four summers, 1952, 1953, 1954 and 1955 when temperatures topped 100°, the same summers as outlined for Chicago. 2010, 2011 and 2012 had three such NYC summers in a row. The more things change....
The same areas that got hit with intense rainfall and flooding in Southern Westchester last week from Ida... had it on this day. I was living in New Rochelle, NY at the time and remember the flood!
Bridgeport, CT had 3.93" fall!
New Haven, CT had 5.20" fall!
Scarsdale, NY had 4.30" fall!
NYC had 3.47" fall!
"Record Rains Flooded Highways and Basements". Over 3 inches of rain fell in a matter of couple hours. Sound familiar? Do you know how hard it was to retrieve this day and headlines? It's been happening, It's always happened, It will happen again! The frequency of these events and the extremes.
