Perhaps even wilder, Bridgeport leads Central Park 10-7 in 90° days. Since 1948, Bridgeport has never had more 90° days than Central Park. There was only a single year with a tie at 8 days for each location (2006).

90° Days (January 1-July 17, 2025) and Ranking since 1970:

Bridgeport: 10 days (Tied 1st)
Islip: 8 days (Tied 5th)
New York City-Central Park: 7 days (Tied 24th)
New York City-JFK Airport: 10 days (Tied 3rd)
New York City-LaGuardia Airport: 15 days (Tied 5th)
Newark: 21 days (Tied 7th)

Don is it possible that the NWS still sees all this park data as circumstantial evidence? How sad …. As always ….

I think there's nothing they can do at Central Park if the Conservatory refuses to trim the trees. Thus, since monthly and annual data can be adjusted as appropriate to compensate for the site changes that have affected high temperatures during the foliage season, the station goes on as is. I suspect that the value of a long-term climate record supersedes the loss of quality of day-to-day readings.

But since the climate has changed so radically, why does it matter what it was like 100 years ago Don?  An equipment relocation has been done at many first order stations.

Failing that, the NWS should grab some chainsaws and do some chopping themselves, why wait for the Conservatory?

Even worse, Lee Goldberg just stated that our summer hasn't been that hot, only very humid, and cited the *only* 7 days of 90+ at Central Park as proof.....

The facts show otherwise. Numerous locations in the greater NYC region are having a top 5 summer through July 17th:

Bridgeport: 4th warmest
Islip: 1st warmest
JFK Airport: 2nd warmest
Newark: 5th warmest

Moreover, Islip, JFK Airport, and Newark have all reached 100° or above this summer. The only other summers that saw such readings at all three locations were 1966, 1999, 2010, and 2011.
