wow 19 recorded 99 degree readings at JFK (including some in May and June) is wild. This has the top 10 at JFK (but leaves some out). https://recordtemps.in/new-york-kennedy-airport-new-york 10 highest recorded temperatures at New York-Kennedy Airport Area, New York (JFKthr) 07-03-1966: 104°F 07-22-2011: 103°F 07-01-1963: 102°F 07-05-1999: 102°F 07-23-2011: 102°F 07-02-1966: 101°F 07-04-2010: 101°F 07-06-2010: 101°F 07-09-1993: 101°F 08-27-1948: 101°F

https://www.extremeweatherwatch.com/cities/jfk-airport/highest-temperatures 19 times 100 or higher, honorable mention to the two back to back 99 readings in July 2019 which had the highest heat indices ever recorded at JFK (117).

The main problem is measuring temperatures in a park. New York City is nothing like a park and the airports are more representative. If it was up to me, we'd use temperature data from downtown somewhere, there is an ASOS near the heliport. I wouldn't say JFK is a lot cooler, it really depends on wind direction. If you go further out on long island, like the Hamptons, they are a lot cooler, but where we are in SW Nassau it's not a lot cooler because we heat up faster than the city in the mornings and the wind has a much shorter trajectory over water than it does in places farther east. Trust me, I live here and it's not a lot cooler than the city, unless you're talking about the temperatures near the subway entrances lol.
-
It's actually a give and take, when JFK is cooler than LGA the humidity is much higher. It's never a free lunch. I would much rather have 100 degrees with a 60 dew point than 80 degrees with a 75 dew point.
-
No it doesn't There's another ASOS somewhere in Manhattan if I remember correctly, at the heliport, I think?
-
South winds are the bane of my existence. I would put up a giant wind wall along the beach if I could to keep the crap sea air away. Check out July 2010 when JFK exceeded 100 and LGA did not. I only want west, north and northwest winds.
-
I also noticed there are days when LGA is colder than JFK in the spring and summer. I enjoy those days.
-
the only lightning I ever want to see is ball lightning. still mostly unexplained.
-
when you have offshore winds JFK will often be several degrees hotter than Central Park. It's one reason why I love the south shore, we always heat up more quickly than other areas, even more than Newark, on an offshore wind.

NYC: 96 (1880) record early season heatwave continued on These early era heatwaves don't get talked about enough. We also had a massive 10 day heatwave in 1896.
-
We also have to remember that it's a park and park temperature data is not comparable to airport temperature data.
-
1896 - A massive tornado struck Saint Louis, MO, killing 306 persons and causing thirteen million dollars damage. The tornado path was short, but cut across a densely populated area. It touched down six miles west of Eads Bridge in Saint Louis and widened to a mile as it crossed into East Saint Louis. The tornado was the most destructive of record in the U.S. up until that time. It pierced a five-eighths inch thick iron sheet with a two by four inch pine plank. A brilliant display of lightning accompanied the storm. (David Ludlum) (The Weather Channel) Was this an F5 that hit the center of a large city? Omg
-
hopefully not, we don't *need* any more rain. Going by what usually happens this time of year, we'll likely only have scattered showers with most of the heavier rain to our south.
-
good let's get rid of the onshore crap
-
JFK is hotter than Central Park on the best days, nice downsloping winds, low humidity, good air quality, etc.
-
99 is such an annoying number lol, it might as well hit 100. it's like getting 19 inches of snow, 20 sounds so much better.
-
you mean rainier than August 2011, summer 2010 was nice and hot and dry throughout.
-
hail sounds fun but lightning is dangerous, whenever I see it, I feel like I'm going to get struck.
-
same high for all New York City reporting sites-- 73
-
is it really hot there? Austin must have much different weather from Dallas, I saw it was in the 70s there.
-
Funny how the last day of March was so much warmer than this.
-
There is no onshore flow, where are these clouds coming from?
-
The sun has been in and out of the clouds here, like right now, it's more cloudy than blue skies here.
-
I don't see it, we'll get rain Wednesday-Thursday, that's it. Most of these other models are just not that accurate. They don't work in the winter, why would they work now lol?
-
whats wrong with just pure sunshine though? water vapor just pollutes everything, makes the skies hazy, traps car exhaust, creates more air pollution, etc.
