And looking south from West Harlem

Yeah it's filling in. Huge clap of thunder just now. Here we go in Manhattan...

Are the storms moving on the line from Elizabeth/Staten Island towards the city drying up or just moving really really slowly?

Just reached KNYC and it’s clocking a bit over 97 at the moment. In fairness, the station gets a bit of sun as you can see. It’s not shrouded in the trees. General assessment from my walk: 99-100 in the blocks on the UWS and 97 ish in the park. the 100.4 was Madison Ave

Just recorded 100.3 in shade along Madison Ave at 75.

Southwest wind blows heat from the city right across to the airport.

Just recorded 96 at Bethesda Terrace in CPK but there’s a breeze blowing at me from the lake.

99.3 by AMNH (sidewalk, shade)

Got a 98.9 at Amsterdam and 86

97 along Amsterdam

I am here to bring you ground truth. Currently walking from Riverside across to east side. first measurement 97.3 in shade on West End

It’s so much more tolerable this morning with the breeze vs yesterday.

lol. No, I've never been that ambitious to trudge over there for a measurement. I just consider my Riverside Park measurements to be a good enough proxy. And honestly, the temp at my location might be one of the better proxies for CPK you'll find. Per this map from a few years ago we are lucky enough to live in one of the "coolest" spots in Manhattan - this little tongue that extends to the river in the low 100s.

I might.

So ah, anyone know what the NYT uses for their model? Props to them for calling attention to the coming heat but… they have the heat index maxing out at 94/95 for NYC.
