This will also mean half of the ten wettest days in the Park's history have been in the last 24 years.

Don't forget the West Virginia forest fires of 1987 which caused breathing difficulties in the NYC area.

Happy 100th birthday to basically the creator of today's local TV weather format, Dr. Frank Field.

The record for least amount of snowfall in a calendar year in Central Park is 3.4 inches in 1913. So far this year, the Park is at 2.3 inches.
-
At 11:59 P.M. tonight, Central Park will set the record for most consecutive calendar days with less than 1.0" of snow (383 days).

An all-time snow season is probably out of reach, but they may have a top-five all time snow year. By the way, you might think they have had a brutally cold winter. Actually January mean temperatures were well above normal, and February as well, up to this point, has been well above normal.
-
50 of the last 54 days have had above normal mean temperatures at Central Park. Only thing surprising about it? It is not surprising anymore.
-
You will then need the 'wet bulb temperature' (and associated 'depression'). I don't think they calculated the wet bulb temperature back then.
-
I do not believe dew point temperatures were taken back then. If they were, though, they didn't keep records of it.
-
Something I saw recently caught my attention, Central Park's highest low temperature ever was on July 2, 1903 at 87 degrees. The high that day was 91 degrees. There was 0.53" of rain that day. I do not believe hourly data was available back then. It seems almost inconceivable that there could be over a half inch of rain in a day (not necessarily all at once) and not have the low temperature fall below 87 degrees.

Number of consecutive days without an inch of snow for Central Park: 1) 383 (1998) 2) 381 (1955) 3) 371 (Present)
-
Number of days KISP have gone below zero: 1963 - 1988: 25 1989 - Present: 0 As a reference, Washington, DC (KDCA) went below five degrees four times in 1994, hasn't done it since.
-
Block Island is (-6), that is beyond impressive.
-
Looked up January 1982 statistics for Central Park, seven days with lows in the single digits, six days with highs under 20 degrees, all from January 10th through the 27th. It was a different world back then.
-
The period from December 28th through February 20th represents 55 days. It is conceivable that Central Park may have daily mean temperatures above normal 52 of those days.
-
Something about this chart confuses me, what are the averages relative to? January 1869 had no averages with official recordkeeping beginning.
-
We are definitely going to have a post-midnight high on Tuesday.
-
Keep in mind January of 1932 would have been warmer if not for the last day of the month.
-
Fourth consecutive January at Central Park without a single digit reading. Last time something like that happened? 1989 - 1993.
-
Central Park has had 19 consecutive days with above normal mean temperatures, streak may make it to near 30 in a row before it ends.
-
Central Park did have a trace today.
-
Average mean temperature first eleven days of the year: Central Park: 45.5 degrees Las Vegas: 48.5 degrees
-
Actually neither, just 1998 and barely at that.
-
Just had some very small hail (maybe graupel).
