JFK normals peak at 84/69.
-
Normal highs already max out in the upper 80s. Since July daily averages are pretty flat, the avg high for the month is nearly the same. 87/72 at LGA EWR 87/70 Teterboro 87/69 Meanwhile Central Park tops out at 85/71. Philly 88/70 Down in DC they now have normals in July at 90...90/73
-
Quite the downpour with some hail in the Bx now
-
85/67 now after a low of only 74. Hazy sunshine, but brighter than yesterday at this time.

Such as LGA, EWR etc. If you got a 10+ day heat wave in the Park today it'd probably be catastrophic because the reality would much worse than that for people within the UHI.

Its just easy to frame it around two major holidays. Also, the amount of daylight contributes to the feel of summer or not. A lot more daytime to work with in June than mid to late August. Most colleges and some schools start in Aug, and places start to lose their seasonal employees too. There's only so much potential time to the summer window, cant afford to sacrifice any just because the early parts may not be reliably hot. But I get it, in terms of beaches in this region I don't get too excited about it until July, mainly because of water temps.
-
That's true. However apps tend to just point you to the closest offical reporting station, so they actually help deemphasize Central Park. If you in Manhattan and small portion of BK you'll see the Park, but more NYC residents will be directed to LGA and JFK. Some close in suburbs will get LGA/JFK as well. SI will get Newark numbers. If i'm at home, apps show me LGA statistics/records and current conditions. Or some AI generated estimate based on LGA + attempts to show neighborhood microclimates. I only see Central Park on TV.
-
It would take a microburst over Central Park taking out a bunch of trees.
-
Quite the light show and about 0.8" rain in 15 mins
-
I did it last year, the forecast was pretty bleak, but it didn't turn out so bad for people in the earlier waves. They finished basically rain free. Just cloudy and cool. Maybe some brief drizzle. When the rain did come it poured though. Still got soaked on the way home. For those who started later it must of sucked toward the end.
-
Working at the 5 boro bike tour I hope that's true for Sunday. Or at least limited to an occasional light shower.
-
Being outside at the time it felt like most of that drop was in 60 secs
-
Most sudden and dramatic temp drop I may have ever experienced. On my bike felt like 80 to 50 in an instant. A warm wind became a strong cold one and it was a wrap. I could see the shock on people's faces.
-
Yeah I agree they all have their place. For me, in the Bx I find I tend to match up with LGA better, espically when E to NE winds are a big factor. It better captures any Sound influence which will effect some eastern areas of the boro as well. It's also significantly closer to me than CPK (as the crow flies), it's easier to get in the same snow bands etc. LGA obs on avg are actually more similar year round, especially in Spring with back door cold fronts.
-
Been snow and sleet the whole time, looks around 3". Now changing to more of a freezing rain/sleet mix atm. 30F
-
If there is data of interest to you, better download it while you can, especially anything climate change related. NOAA pages are dissappeaing right now.
-
Switched to snow..maybe a little sleet mix. 39
-
Light rain and 41
-
Yeah feels like forever since I had to use a shovel. Snow actually stuck on pavement too which makes it feel like a real snowfall. A lot of the paltry snow totals of the last 2 years were grassy surfaces acclumation only. It matter for statistics but in urban areas, outside of a walk in a park, it's effectively 0"
-
Pleasantly surprised, 2" of snow. Its been a long time.
-
Was a burst of snow/graupel. Patchy coating on some rooftops and a few trees, now changed to mostly rain and washing away. 37
-
Good morning..apparently the forecast has changed. Dry ground heats up. Well it was nice while it lasted
-
Here comes a new plume of smoke headed south from a fire in Inwood Hill Pk
-
A big increase in haze and smoke smell across the Bronx and Southern Westchester within the last hr or so. I dunno if there is a new fire somewhere?
-
Some of that may be from the Palasades fire in NJ. The wind was due west earlier sending the smell straight across the Hudson into Riverdale, Bx and beyond. Wind went more NW later and the smell went SW towards Central Park, LIC etc.
