89 after a high of 93...clouds to the west sw...

89 now after a low of 70...

91 now...down from 93...

warm periods in todays world means long stretches where no cool air penetrates the area like past years...it looks like July will become another summer month when the temperature failed to drop into the 50's in Central Park...without some cool days like that the month will end up above average even if there is no record heat...more and more we are seeing July's where the coolest days are in the low to mid 60's...

94 max imby today so far...

if you look up records from 40 or more years ago NYC was close to LGA's Max/Min...next to Newark it mostly was one to four degrees cooler with some exceptions like 1977... some examples... 6/25/1943.....99 in NYC...99 in LGA...100 in Newark... 7/14/1954...100 in NYC...99 in LGA...102 in Newark... 7/21/1977...104 in NYC...99 in LGA...102 in Newark... 8/05/1944...101 in NYC...99 in LGA...102 in Newark... 9/02/1953...102 in NYC 102 in LGA...105 in Newark...

never happen in the real world...start with China and see how their government reacts...

we have enough nanny's already running the country...

all city workers are being paid working or not working...its good for my son and daughter but bad for the big picture...

you know how many people will loose their business if they cant open...look whats happened already...enough with cowering in the corner...

elderly Staten Islanders too...I'm pretty good tolerating the heat to a point...some old folks wear a sweater when dew points are under 70 in Florida...

the average number of 70 degree minimums have gone up in the last decade...starting with the 1930's these are the average 70 degree minimums for a ten year period and the average consecutive days for a decade... decade...total days...consecutive... 1930-39.....29.9...…….7.7 1940-49.....32.4...…….6.4 1950-59.....29.4...…….7.3 1960-69.....23.9...…….5.7 1970-79.....33.2...…..10.3 1980-89.....37.3...…..11.4 1990-99.....31.9...…….9.3 2000-09.....34.5...…….9.3 2010-19.....47.4...…..12.6

I wasn't born yet but the weather played a big part in both plane crashes into 40 wall st and the empire state building...fog was a big contributor for both...

I recorded 1.30" of le and no more than a half inch at one time on the ground for the April 9-10th liquid snow...

on this date in 1875 NYC had its latest heavy snowfall on record...10" was measured in Central Park...temps got as low as 30 during the storm...it wasn't the last of the snow or cold that month... 1875... https://bklyn.newspapers.com/image/50419405 http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030313/1875-04-14/ed-1/seq-6/ https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030313/1875-04-14/ed-1/seq-7/

before 1982 April snowstorms were of the wet variety...it was snowing hard mid day with temperatures in the mid 20's...the next day with bright sunshine the max temp in NY was only 30 degrees...21 years later there was the 4-7" of snow in 2003...15 years later 4-7" fell in 2018...since 2011 NYC has seen three early season snowfalls...October 2011...3-6" in the city...early November 2012...4-7"...Nov 2018 with 4-7" also...I think 2018 holds the record for the least amount of days between 5" snowfalls in a year...early April to mid Nov...1938 is a close second but has the record for the least amount of days between 6" snowfalls in a year...
