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.

Push alerts came in as it was pulling out.

Going to call out - in case we are tracking these things now: the severe thunderstorm warning area seems off (looking at RadarScope) - we had no warning here. this seemed to not match radar: * This severe thunderstorm will be near... Mott Haven and Midtown Manhattan around 1040 PM EDT. Laguardia Airport and Jackson Heights around 1045 PM EDT. East Tremont around 1050 PM EDT. Co-op City around 1100 PM EDT. City Island around 1105 PM EDT.

Hail! and frequent lightning on UWS.
