Given NCEI's and the Central Park Conservatory's choice to permit tree overgrowth to persist at Central Park's ASOS, I've run the statistical model to see what Central Park's highest annual temperatures might have been had the statistical relationships to the 30-year period preceding the tree growth persisted (proxy for pre-tree readings). The estimated 102° reading in June 2025 would have set a new monthly mark. During 2015-2026, Central Park would likely have seen four to as many seven 100° readings. 2021 and 2025 had the highest likelihood that Central Park would have recorded one or more 100° or above readings. In an increasing number of cases, Central Park's reported highest temperature falls more than 1 standard deviation below the statistical estimate.

I just don't understand how the "powers that be" let the CP climate record go to hell and don't seem to care.  How difficult is it to properly site a temperature sensor?  It was fine where it was at the castle and was much more reflective of the temperature in CP.  Frustrating.  The topic has been beaten like a rented mule so this will forever be my last comment on the subject.

Don, thanks for the stats. as always.

If we moved the site any distance away from the tree canopy it would be 102-103 easy. It’s ridiculous this is still an issue, and it’s the “official” climate site for the city. 

I partially blame local media outlets too. They can put more emphasis on other sites when nessasary. Or stop saying things like, NYC has not experienced 100+ since 2012. Central Park hasnt. There have been multiple offical 100 degree readings within NYC at LGA and even JFK. Plus plenty others where ever Con Ed puts a thermometer for what its worth.

They probably just don't give it much thought, since many do not have decades of real life context about NYC climate records like people here. They work in NYC media because it was the best job offer.

Sea breeze as expected doing its thing today. 80 here, 75 on the barrier island. Up to 90 a mile inland. Water's ice cold from upwelling again. Back down to 58. 

There will be a lot of water rescues over the next few days. 

58? Where's that?

It most certainly is at the beaches at northern Ocean County. The buoys 15 miles offshore never get the localized upwelling. It's usually within 3 miles of the coast. 

Just enough west in the wind to upwell on the Jersey shore. Forgot you were a Jersey guy. Near shore water temps are incredibly sensitive to local winds.
