Could have some of those 89 degree days miss an intra hour 90 or higher and vice versa in the winter at a important/critical station. They should make the station dynamic and update in real time like the New Brunswick station.

amazing they cant measure between hours - seems rudimentary.

2022 from my recollection https://www.fox29.com/news/atlantic-ocean-sets-records-for-warmth-down-at-the-jersey-shore?utm_source=chatgpt.com and 2016 https://www.cbsnews.com/philadelphia/news/jersey-shore-ocean-record-warm/?utm_source=chatgpt.com

Highs: EWR: 96 TEB: 95 PHL: 95 \\\ ACY: 94 LGA: 93 BLM: 93 New Brnswck: 92 JFK: 92 * 3rd day no intra hour highs 2pm / 8pm (likely went higher) TTN: 91 ISP: 90 NYC: 90

Anyone have JFK 6 hour max/min My source https://forecast.weather.gov/data/obhistory/KJFK.html is missing them the last few days and had similar gaps the last few years. Odd they cant just add the max each hour 2025.

88 / 76 70% clouds 30% sun and increasing clearing. Next heatwave looks a lock here.

82 / 75 More breaks but still plenty of clouds

Will be surprised if we see this little rainfall over the next 7 days, but overall drier trend outside of later today and Sunday. Boundary south into the southern mid atlantic , AZ monsoon kicking up and what could have been Dexter into the C Gulf coast are the wetter spots

Clouds stingy to clear 77 / 73 once / if we clear its off to the races but clouds look to persist
