Wait for the...."New York City has not reached 100F in xx years." They need to be specific.."Central Park" hasn't, not the city of New York.

Dunno if exactly 105 is accurate, but I know it get quite hot around there. Its one of the few places in Manhattan that gets unobstructed sunshine all day. When a sea breeze off the water there isnt a factor it's typically hotter than Midtown, which gets relatively little sun to the surface throughout the day.

Brownsville BK...103 now. Tremont is 101 i'm a mile away from there at 100

Hot city before noon

oh my bad lol. I thought you said Astoria for some reason

That's a tough one because its on the Con Ed grounds. You wont be able to see a street view etc. Looks like its on what would be a continuation of 31 St, just north of 20th Av, in the Con Ed facility. Or you could say a continuation of 19th Ave into Con Ed near the end of that small inlet of water from the East River.

The state run ones, NY Mesonet, are at CUNY colleges. Manhattan is at Hunter College, Queens at Queens College, Brooklyn at Brooklyn College, Bronx at Lehman College and Staten Island at College of Staten Island. For the NYC Micronet ones I don't know if an exact address listed anywhere. I usually can get pretty specific by zooming in on the map, plus using the live camera shot. It will also say which direction the camera is pointing. Comparing it to Google Maps satellite view would help too. Some are obvious if you have a familiarity with the area. I know Tremont/Van Nest is at the Con Ed facility off Bronxdale Ave next to Parkchester.

Sitting at 98 / 75. Nyc micronet little over a mile away at 99.

90, dew 76 heat index 101 at 9:15am Low was 80

Stifling out. 87 dew 74.

Steady temp at 90 dew 73

I think in general it's possible but very difficult at the Park. Places like LGA can have a high at 6 pm or so. Some updated hourly forecasts have low 90s at 7pm. The Park doesn't do late day highs well though. Wet soil and foliage plus evening sun drops below the trees and does reach there. Sometimes Central Park will keep pace with other area obs then flatline in mid afternoon while everyone else not under a sea breeze keeps climbing.

So that explains why after some breaks of sun, I thought we turned the corner but the then clouds started increasing again and now it's a thick overcast again. NWS hourly forecasts still say 95F for right now. 15 - 20 degree bust is wild.

Back up to 80 dew 72 with occasional brightening skies. Basically back up to the morning low before the rain

The economic impact for many will start to take a toll if this weekend rain pattern continues. An unexpected shower or T storm isn't that surprising in summer, but an extended organized batch of rain with no warning does suck, and seems rare in the warmer months. Also people had the plan to do some outdoor stuff early while the heat is at least tolerable. Now getting t storms moving through. Watch those NYC temps. Central Park underachieves temp wise even more when its wet there, compared to out in the open where it dries out faster.
