82 at 3pm for LGA, that didn't last long.

Yeah I rapidly shot up at the same time to 81. Its a thin line though, based on driving around a min ago its dramatically cooler once you get close to the Hutch pkwy. Still nice if you can forget about all the fanfare of a summer like day.

Earlier today, there was a large spread between the temperature at Newark and New York City's LaGuardia Airport (cited by @bluewave). However, by 3 pm, that spread was reduced to 6°, as the temperature rose sharply to 82° at LaGuardia Airport from 71° an hour earlier.

Since October 7, 1939 when recordkeeping began at LaGuardia Airport, there have been 113 days on which Newark registered a high temperature that was 10° or above LaGuardia's daily high temperature. The most recent such day occurred just last week on April 21 when the temperature topped out at 75° in Newark and 65° at LaGuardia Airport.

The record difference is 16°, which was set on April 15, 1949 (EWR: 85°; LGA: 69°) and tied on April 20, 1993 (EWR: 80°; LGA: 69°).

The most frequent cases where Newark had a high temperature of 10° or more above LaGuardia Airport occurred during April.

Top 3 Months:
April: 47 (41.6%) days
March: 25 (22.1%) days
May: 23 (20.4%) days

Seasonal Ranking:
Spring: 95 (84.1%) days
Summer: 11 (9.7%) days
Winter: 5 (4.4%) days
Fall: 3 (2.7%) days

The reason for this timing concerns ocean temperatures. During the spring into the start of summer, the ocean is still relatively cool. During fall and winter, the ocean is relatively warm in contrast to air temperatures.

Yeah, now the temperature is back down to 71° at LGA. Very impressive hourly and daily temperature jumps since late March on the wind shifts.  The temperature on the South Shore back in late March rose from 57° to 80° in an hour.
