It did not reach 100°. The high was 99°.

While it may not have reached 100F officially at the Park, the 99/81 was the first day in recorded history with that specific high and low. A weathergami!

Incidentally, this was probably the largest outbreak of Weathergamis since this has been tracked [which admittedly has only been a couple of years].  A significant number of weathergamis spread from the Plains into the Upper Midwest and Upper Great Lakes, driven by unprecedented low temperatures. Several sites had record high minimum, which by definition will yield a weathergami. Many other stations had low temperatures that have only occurred a handful of times in recorded history and were paired with high temperatures never before seen. Then, this shifted over to New England and the Mid-Atlantic Coast. Over northern New England, high temperatures reached levels seldom ever achieved, and paired with low temperatures that they had never before been paired with. In the Mid-Atlantic, the weathergamis were driven by a mix of unusually high maximum and minimum temperatures, leading to unique pairings. An interesting way to look at this hot spell.

The recent historic June heatwave was also the first time June had seen Central Park, JFK Airport, LaGuardia Airport, and Newark register 80° or above minimum temperatures on the same date.

The June 24, 2025 weathergami was actually the third this year:

Islip, JFK Airport, LaGuardia Airport, and Newark also had weathergamis on June 24th. JFK Airport and Newark also had weathergamis on June 25th. The last time Central Park had two consecutive days with weathergamis was July 22-23, 2011. Its most consecutive is 3 which occurred during the extreme cold shot of December 29-31, 1917.

Is this considered some kind of artwork Don? It does look like origami.

It’s a density plot based on the frequency of high-low temperatures based on the chart @TheClimateChangerposted. I highlighted this year’s first recorded high-low combinations.
