October 2025 Discussion and Obs

[donsutherland1]

Here's how October has fared in New York City and Newark. The rate of warming has been very gradual, though there has been some acceleration since 1980. The chart's anomalies are based on the 20th century mean temperature for October. For Central Park, the 1991-2020 baseline temperature is 57.9° vs. the 20th century figure of 57.6°. 

Note: Octobers with large amounts of missing data were excluded.

We'll see if that comes up to us at all or gets pushed OTS as it moves N.

The magnitude and the duration of the warm ups are usually more impressive than the cool downs even using the warmer climate normals.

 

 

 

 

 

Wow I forgot how march was a full on spring month this year. March has totally ceased to be wintery in recent years, the last march with more than an half an inch of measurable snow in central park was 2019. I actually think this alone is more impressive than the overall warming/ lack of snow trend. March totally is not a winter month at all anymore.

Yeah, I have been pointing this out about March in recent years. The whole area near the coast has seen the lowest March decadal snowfall on record since 2020. The complete opposite of the 2010s.
