I see that one is going to miss me to the south, but I'm glad you got something.

94 for a high here today.

 

[donsutherland1]

Very warm conditions will likely continue through Sunday. Cooler weather will return for at least the first half of next week. Some rain is also likely early next week, but rainfall amounts could be fairly light.

The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +2.6°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was +1.3°C for the week centered around June 3. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +1.95°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged +0.98°C. The ongoing El Niño will continue to strengthen through the summer.

The SOI was -15.11 yesterday. 

The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was +0.364 today. 

Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied near 77% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal June (1991-2020 normal). June will likely finish with a mean temperature near 74.5 (2.5° above normal). That would tie June 2026 the seventh warmest June on record with 1984.

Supplemental Information: The projected mean would be 3.1° above the 1981-2010 normal monthly value.

Torrential rain here for the past 10 minutes with some thunder and lightning; not much wind.

[TriPol]

Definitely hear the hail

[kat5hurricane]

I see a lot of talk about storms missing left and right but here in Whitestone we've had a really good run of storms the last few weeks including last night and right now as we speak. Not a ton of rain but plenty of thunder and lightning and a big wind burst last week that knocked down plenty of trees.

Looks like southern Nassau about to get slammed.

Another day with not alot going on ... 94° high here and 0.05" rain a short time ago.

About a half inch or so in the Five Towns and a couple tenths in Long Beach. Degraded to crap as they almost always do there.

Best part of this storm is the current vivid double rainbow

Central Park should have it's title as NYC's official weather site taken away at this point! It's becoming embarrassing and the difference gets worse and worse, each year!

No one cares to fix it.  I suggest you get over it and move on. Its been a decade plus of bad temps and horrible measurements.

The problem gets worse each year once the trees leaves full bloom.

For the next 2 weeks or so, storms passing north of us with warm fronts/cold fronts fairly fast moving with a cool pool of air aloft and big upper low over the Great Lakes. This pattern can produce outbreaks of severe weather for us if things time out right and we get into (however briefly) the warm sector.  I think the pattern locks into a steamy summer pattern around June 28th give or take a day or two or three. Things will change as we know.

Good morning BW. Sadly and I mean this for city residents only. Central Park, at least, in the warm season is not a typical indicator of what our five Borough folks are experiencing, temperature wise. Newark and our airports set records and yet our official  high temperature is 91. The dryness concerns me as I believe we are near six inches below yearly average rainfall to date for the city. Stay well, as always ….

Yeah, the tree growth over the equipment since the 90s when the trees are leafed out from the spring into late fall has been creating an artificial high temperature cooling there. I can remember when the station was out in the open and often had warmer highs than LGA and sometimes Newark. More record highs today around the area.

Just based on feel, being out and about in Manhattan there was no was it was a run of the mil around 90 degree day. It had to be mid to upper 90s out.  The Park was especially lagging yday considering we haven't had alot of heavy rain lately.  It doesnt make sense that even the heliport downtown was running ahead of the Park and their sensor is sitting on a pier sticking out into the East River, just about to open into Upper NY Bay.

[SACRUS]

75 / 59 much drier today.  wonderful day on tap warm / dry and sunny upper 80s - low 90s making it a heatwave for some.  Tomorrow warm/ and potentially stormy later in the evening and overnight as the front comes through, pending on clouds mid 80s to low 90s.  Cooler Mon - Wed then a brief surge of dew points and temp Thu (next shot at 90) before next front comes through.  The period 6/19 - 6/24 trough generally into the Midwest / northeast looks overall near normal to slightly above and features storm chances.  Beyond there and through the close of the month near to above normal with next heat chance as we move into next month.

Historical:

1586: (23 June current calendar) Roanoke Colony, North Carolina: First European report of waterspout off US coast by Ralph Lane, a member of Sir Francis Drake's fleet: "There were great spouts at the seas as though heaven and earth would have met."  (Ref. WxDoctor)
 

1889 - Forest fires in northern Wisconsin and northeast Minnesota were in the process of destroying millions of dollars of board feet of timber. (David Ludlum)

1907 - The temperature at Tamarack, CA, dipped to 2 degrees above zero, the lowest reading of record for June for the U.S. The high that day was 30 degrees. Tamarack received 42 inches of snow between the 10th and the 13th. On the 13th the snow depth was 130 inches. (The Weather Channel)

1955: Water from the Spring Mountains swept down on Las Vegas, NV after a violent thunderstorm of rain and hail, virtually isolating the City, flooding hundreds of homes and stores and causing an untold amount in property damage. Residents of the Twin Lakes Subdivision reported that a four-foot wall of water came down from the slope of Mt. Charleston. Hardest hit was the Brentwood Park Tract, where large stocks of lumber, stacked for construction on new homes, were washed away by the flood, and littered the Municipal Golf Course and Twin Lakes Subdivision. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)

1956: Boston, Massachusetts recorded peak gust of 84 mph gusts during a thunderstorm. (Ref. NOAA Boston Weather Events)

1967: Three separate lines of thunderstorms developed and raced across eastern South Dakota. The storms dumped up to 5 inches of rain and hail the size of golf balls was common. Winds gusted to 71 mph in the Aberdeen area resulting in some damage. Crop damage was 100% in some areas in the northeast due to the relentless hail and flooding rains. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)

1968: A violent F5 tornado killed 9 people at Tracy, MN. Over 110 homes were destroyed, while a steel I-beam was reportedly carried for 2 miles on a piece of roof. Two farms hit by this tornado were also hit by a violent F4 tornado on 6/24/1924.(Ref. Wilson Wx. History)

1969: 10 inches of snow fell in Deerfield, SD as an unusual late season storm covered parts of South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana and Nebraska. Five inches of snow was measured at Great Falls, MT. The low temperature at Billings, MT fell to 32°, their latest freeze on record. The temperature also fell to 32° the previous day; both tying a record low for the month of June. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)

1973: Dust devils are not tornadoes, but they can still lift heavy objects. At Jennison, MI, a dust devil picked up a rug, stepladder, and a patio umbrella. It also lifted a 350-lb concrete patio table and dropped it 3 feet away (in several pieces after the landing). (Ref. Weather Guide Calendar with Phenomenal Weather Events 2011 Accord Pub. 2010, USA)

1976: A deadly tornado moved across parts of the southwestern Chicago, IL suburbs killing two people and injuring 23 others. The tornado, with winds over 200 mph moved from Lemont to Downers Grove causing $13 million dollars in damage when 89 homes were destroyed and another 90 were damaged. The tornado passed over the Argonne National Laboratory, peeling part of a roof off the building housing a nuclear reactor. The tornadoes movement was rather erratic moving southeast the north and finally turning northwest. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)

1984 - Severe thunderstorms struck Denver deluging the city with five inches of rain, and leaving up to six feet of water in some places. Softball size hail smashed windshields and ripped through metal cars. Snow plows had to be called out. (The Weather Channel)

1987 - Fifteen cities in the north central U.S. reported record high temperatures for the date, including International Falls, MN, with a reading of 92 degrees. Mason City IA and Waterloo IA reported record highs of 100 degrees. Thunderstorms in the northeastern U.S. produced golf ball size hail around Hamilton Square NJ, along with high winds which tore the roof off a hospital causing a million dollars damage. Averill Park NY was deluged with 1.64 inches of rain in fifteen minutes. (Storm Data) (The National Weather Summary)

1988 - Afternoon thunderstorms produced severe weather in the Southern and Central Plains Region. Forrest NM was deluged with 5.5 inches of rain in ninety minutes. Temperatures soared into the 90s across much of the eastern half of the nation, including New England. Northern Illinois reported a record twenty straight days of dry weather. (The National Weather Summary)

1989 - Thunderstorms produced severe weather from the Southern Plains Region to the Carolinas during the day and night, and continued to drench parts of Texas and Oklahoma with heavy rain. Oklahoma City reported 13.41 inches of rain for the first thirteen days of the month, and Fort Worth TX reported 29.56 inches for the year, a total more than 13 inches above normal. Severe drought continued to rage across South Texas. (The National Weather Summary)

 

1991: Lightning struck a tree at the U.S. Open Golf Tournament being held at Chaska, MN. One spectator was killed, and six others were injured. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)

1993: Four inches of rain fell in one hour on Lenox, IA as the Great Mississippi Flood of 1993 was beginning. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)

1994: A series of violent thunderstorms roared across parts of western and central New York. The thunderstorm winds downed trees and power lines. A tornado touched down in the town of Freedom. Damage was intermittent along the mile long path, with only tree damage for the first 3/4 mile. Over its last quarter mile the tornado destroyed a 25 x 25 foot garage. The tornado then struck the Pleasantview Mobile Home Park. A roof which was blown off one mobile home penetrated the wall of another home about 200 feet away. Two other mobile homes were lifted and moved off their foundations. The thunderstorms dropped between two and four inches of rain which produced flash flooding. One hundred basements were flooded in Jamestown. Damage from flash flooding was extensive in Allegany State Park in Cattaraugus County. Two recreational bridges collapsed and other major bridges were undermined. Beaches were damaged extensively and roads were washed out. In one instance, the blacktop from one road was carried over 20 feet. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)

 

2002: As thunderstorms roared through Ponca City, OK with lots of large hail and wall clouds, lightning caused a fire at a Conoco refinery. The news immediately sent gasoline futures higher by 50 points. The refinery was back on line quickly, but gasoline prices rose a few extra cents in time for the Fourth of July Holiday. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)

2005: Low pressure, the remnants of Hurricane Arlene, moved northeast across the Great Lakes. The bands of showers and thunderstorms produced damage across parts of the Niagara Frontier and Finger Lakes. Heavy rains produced flash flooding in Livingston County, an area which received heavy rains on several consecutive days. The strong winds downed trees and limbs in Le Roy, Stafford, Mendon, Livonia, Lockport, Kendall, and Clarkson. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)

[MANDA]

Scored .24" last evening in a T-Shower.  Better than nothing I suppose.  Air has better "feel" to it this morning.  The humidity yesterday was foul.  Cleaner air mass in place with deep blue skies.  Still no Canadian smoke this season, that's a plus.

[donsutherland1]

Yesterday saw record heat in New York City with LaGuardia Airport hitting 98° and JFK Airport coming in a close second at 96°. 

So far, there have been three days where Central Park has been New York City's coolest location:

June 7: Central Park: 81°; JFK Airport: 86°; LaGuardia Airport: 83°
June 11: Central Park: 91°; JFK Airport: 95°; LaGuardia Airport: 96°
June 12: Central Park: 90°; JFK Airport: 96°; LaGuardia Airport: 98°

The June 1-12, 2026 Average High Temperatures are below:

Central Park: 82.4° (trees)
JFK Airport: 82.7° (sea breeze prone)
LaGuardia Airport: 84.4°

Even as New York City has been warming over the most recent 30 years (1996-2025 vs. 1966-1995) during June, Central Park has seen its high temperatures cool on account of the increased tree cover.

This outcome is not novel. This ongoing real-world experiment in allowing tree growth to proceed at Central Park's temperature station is producing results that are consistent with the outcomes documented in the empirical literature. One recent study concerning the cooling effect of trees can be found here.
