There are just a handful of days each year where I am happy, for weather reasons, to be on south shore of Long Island.  Today is one of those days.  Thanks to the LIRR strike today I was home.  I haven't been paying much attention to the weather lately and so was floored to hear that Jersey is in the mid 90s.   Here I wouldn't even call today warm.  It's just perfect out.  Not sure I've ever been aware (though I'm sure it's of course happened)  of such a disparity in the past where it was so nice here yet *95* on the other side of NYC.  Crazy.

Here we go again....write a letter to Mamdami, otherwise, just use other stations.  Plus it is 92 in central park at the last hourly ob.  I see plenty of private sensors with similar readings.  If no has cared to improve it for a decade plus, I don't care either.  Live with the flaw and 5000 bluewave posts about it.

Has this been discussed in the past ? I can't recall.

Agree those 95-98 degree days just to hot. It did go well into the 80s here but now down to 82. A warm day here but not uncomfortably hot.

Understood FP but it’s probably more the shade environment than the physical location. Your site was 94 perhaps we should have a five individual borough readings with the city reading as the average of the five. It’s a shame I can’t give myself a weenie ….. I’ve no doubt someone will accommodate. Stay cool everyone, as always ….

It is almost certainly higher than 92 in almost the entire borough of Manhattan except for the KNYC weather sensor.

I think one day so far it's cracked above 70 on the barrier islands. Huge disparity when the waters are still in the mid 50s and barely any westerly component on the winds. There haven't been crazy Ambrose Jets so up here it's gotten close to 90 but by 5-6pm it cools down quite a bit.

96 thus far..wind kicking up

91.2 in Muttontown & 90.3 in Syosset for the high today.

Water is 48 in Seaside Park based on my Garmin watch and a little aquarium thermometer I stuck to my surfboard. Still in a 4mm wetsuit plus boots and gloves.

I went for a quick dip no wetsuit after going for a run on the beach Sunday. With the light onshore flow and full sun nearshore water temp was def mid to upper 50s. Water was carribean turquoise at west end 2.

NYC only reached 92! According to their main weather site! It didn't get too hot today!

Brutal out.  Breeze not as strong at work.  Our track workers taking measurements at 10am showed 126 on the trackbed surface before they did maintenance.  Can't imagine how much worse it got as day progressed. 

Currently 96 at home in little ferry.

97 down here in DC as I’m about to go roast at Nationals Park

[winterwx21]

It hit 98 here. Newark hit 99, which tied the all time May high temp record.
