Though I'm told from Tony Gigi when I asked about the qc process, that they only qc the instruments, not the environment around them.  Hence I guess why NYC is determined to be fine, since all the instruments are in correct working order.

Wait are you talking about Antonio Riggi or is Tony Gigi someone else?

Tony Gigi was Rainshadow on here years ago (pretty sure he was on here) and he works for Mt Holly.  He frequently speaks about Philly's temps being too high, so I asked him about the QC process of these sites.  Above is what he told me about the process.  It actually seems pretty infuriating what they take into account about the instruments vs what is around them, but, makes sense why they never fix NYC.

Thank you...  one thing I didnt see but the data may be inconsequential?  Are the new sensors reading slightly cooler when side by side with the replaced 20 year old sensors?

Much of the region saw its chilliest morning so far this season. Low temperatures included:

Binghamton: 44°
Bridgeport: 50°
Caldwell: 49°
Danbury: 44°
Farmingdale: 55°
Hartford: 45°
Islip: 58°
Montgomery: 43°
New Haven: 50°
New York City-Central Park: 56°
New York City-JFK Airport: 56°
New York City-LaGuardia Airport: 60°
Newark: 55°
Philadelphia: 56°
Poughkeepsie: 44°
Trenton: 51°
White Plains: 49° (earliest season first 40s since 2001)

Temperatures will mainly top out in the 70s during the daytime and fall into the 50s at nighttime in New York City through at least Wednesday. Thursday could be briefly warmer with highs in the upper 70s to perhaps lower 80s. 

A shower or thundershower is possible on Wednesday as warm front moves across the region and Thursday as a cold front pushes through.

The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was -0.3°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was -0.4°C for the week centered around August 27. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +0.33°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -0.32°C. La Niña conditions will likely develop during mid- or late-autumn.

The SOI was +0.06 today. 

The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was +0.073 today. 

Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied near 61% probability that New York City will have a cooler than normal September (1991-2020 normal). September will likely finish with a mean temperature near 68.1° (1.1° below normal). 

Supplemental Information: The projected mean would be 0.1° above the 1981-2010 normal monthly value.

Yea I remember rainshadow, though I never knew his name. 

I thought you were maybe talking about Tony Riggi and you made a typo, it's like one letter difference lol

Antonio Riggi helped me out like 14 years ago with creating long length radar loops of past storms using archived radar data. He's at Weatherbell now.

2001/2002 was that bad, jeesh.  02/03 was that epic winter, correct?

Sorry, that is contradictory.  I laugh when I see people wearing sandals shorts, a coat and a winter ski hat.

I'm trying to figure out how one wears a hoodie while the sun is out this time of year. If you're out after dark or perhaps around dawn, sure whatever but during the daytime?  To each their own but my hoodies are still enjoying their long warm season nap. After a low of 45 this morning, I know Forky is curious, and a high of 72 down to 62 now.
