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).

Because they are like home runs in baseball and touchdowns in football, there are so many of them now, they lose its specialness after a while. Central Park number of DJF days with maximum temperatures of 60 degrees or more: January 1869 to February 1975: 233 December 1975 to February 2022: 223 By the way, today I learned the first day of official Central Park record keeping there was 9.0" of snow.
-
Cleveland, Detroit, and Chicago are all below normal snowfall. Sometimes Buffalo gets plastered on TV as if it is representative of the rest of the nation.
-
Last time Central Park had a winter with three consecutive below normal monthly means in a row: 2013 - 2014 and that is with today's normals which keep on going up and up.
-
Going to be quite hard to ever exceed the warmth of January 1932 in the Park. That month was so warm, it had a higher monthly average than March 1932. In fact January of 1932 was only 5.8 degrees cooler than April 1932.
-
No, actually during WWII, 1942 - 1943.
-
It will not be the hottest start to any year, as January 2007 has the record for warmest first week ever in the Park. That week featured a 72 degree day on the sixth, something that will not happen this time.
-
A word of caution: The ECMWF, which is notorious for overdoing wind gusts, is no where near these numbers.
-
The answer is yes, this may surprise you, but it is the eleventh longest timespan in the Park's history. Nine of the other ten date back before WWII.
-
March 19, 1967. Safe to say we will never see another later date in our lifetime.
-
The one thing I forgot about that winter until looking it up a few years ago was that there was a single digit low reading on February 26, 1990 in the Park. Of all the winters since, there has been only one other winter with a later single digit low in the Park: February 28, 2014.
