Interesting that 1896 is on this list, March 1896 was the snowiest month and the only month in NYC with 30 inches or more of snow until February 2010 and January 2011 came along. 1896 also had that superheatwave that killed over 1,500 people in NYC in August with 10 days over 90 degrees.

Love those clear blue skies! We get it for one more day tomorrow....
-
Thanks, is this the earliest the records go back there? It would be interesting if we could find records that go further back than Central Park's.
-
Lets just hope we get these same westerly winds in the summer, instead of the regular old very warm and humid we could actually get some historic heat.
-
it's also ridiculous to bet against warm temperatures with a downsloping wind. Westerly winds always overperform modeling temperatures, I've seen this going back to the 80s.
-
It usually hits 70 at least once every March. I thought it was ridiculous that some people thought it wouldn't hit 70 in March when it was 67 on March 1st here.
-
I thought today was supposed to be the warmest day? Either way tomorrow should be close. Lots of spring birds building nests now.
-
with climate change we'll likely have longer droughts and longer wet periods. More atmospheric moisture depends on onshore flow to deliver rainfall for specific areas and we have had westerly flow for a few months now which might indicate we're starting a long period of drier weather, beginning with our driest month on record (0 rainfall here last October.) So it could be that we'll just get more extremes with rain just like we've seen with snowfall.
-
Yes, thats what I think too.

Records: Highs: EWR: 81 (2016) NYC: 79 (2016) LGA: 78 (2016) JFK: 71 (2006) Lows: EWR: 10 (1984) NYC: 12 (1929) LGA: 12 (1984) JFK: 12 (1984) The early season heat in 2016 continued..... That arctic shot in 1984 must have been right after the March 1984 snowstorm!
-
Do you have the longest time periods between 70 degree readings Chris? I think the last time we were 70 or higher was early November, when it was in the low 80s.
-
I just saw the same thing lol
-
Exactly! 41-42 inches is our true normal, we need to chop down the excess vegetation that resulted from this anomalous 51 inch average-- or nature will do it for us.
-
I think JFK will be hitting 100 multiple times this summer :-)
-
Highs: EWR: 82 (2016) NYC: 77 (2016) LGA: 75 (2016) JFK: 67 (1973) Lows; EWR: 10 (1996) NYC: 11 (1996) LGA: 14 (1996) JFK: 13 (1996) wow 2016 warmth and 1996 cold even this late
-
I would hope the weather is better for the eclipse Thursday Night.
-
Hopefully well after the total lunar eclipse, Don
-
Would the predominantly westerly flow cancel out the effects of the cooler ocean, Chris? Maybe not 70s, but it certainly looks like we will be in the 60s a lot here.
-
The only thing I have against it are allergies. But I noticed I have much less allergies when there's no wind and only a small amount of rain.
-
How is there so much greenery on the east end? It looks like summer there with all those green leafed out trees.
-
Just like no one wants to be walking around in a hoodie and gloves and a scarf in the warm months either. Well, maybe NYCWinter does....
-
True, and the same people aren't the same size after they eat it either!
-
It's good that the weather won't mess up the pi day total lunar eclipse 3/14 at 3:14 am lol (totality is really from 2:30 to 3:30 am). it can rain after that.
-
I was thinking of this, but they aren't all the same size ;-)
-
it should really be between storms, what falls on one calendar day is pretty subjective.... why should a new day begin at midnight? And what if 1 inch falls before midnight and 5 inches falls after midnight? It's the same storm so what if it doesn't match some arbitrary definition of when a day should begin? I've always thought a new day should begin at sunrise, but that's creates some issues with length of day.
