89 after a high of 93...clouds to the west sw...

89 now after a low of 70...

91 now...down from 93...

warm periods in todays world means long stretches where no cool air penetrates the area like past years...it looks like July will become another summer month when the temperature failed to drop into the 50's in Central Park...without some cool days like that the month will end up above average even if there is no record heat...more and more we are seeing July's where the coolest days are in the low to mid 60's...

94 max imby today so far...

if you look up records from 40 or more years ago NYC was close to LGA's Max/Min...next to Newark it mostly was one to four degrees cooler with some exceptions like 1977... some examples... 6/25/1943.....99 in NYC...99 in LGA...100 in Newark... 7/14/1954...100 in NYC...99 in LGA...102 in Newark... 7/21/1977...104 in NYC...99 in LGA...102 in Newark... 8/05/1944...101 in NYC...99 in LGA...102 in Newark... 9/02/1953...102 in NYC 102 in LGA...105 in Newark...

lots of development around the airport over the years...down wind one story buildings became sky scrapers...

just got a little downpour with the Sun out...down to 81 now...

92 max 66 min today...89 currently...

92 imby now...

if you used the last 30 year average from 1991-2020 June averaged 71.9...so going on the new 30 year average June 2020 was +1.8 from hard averages...

after a low of 66 this morning its 84 now...

no direct hits yet in my neighborhood but we have been touched by many cells over the last few days...

all city workers are being paid working or not working...its good for my son and daughter but bad for the big picture...

whats your list...everything is based on the economy...

as a kid I wasn't allowed to get fireworks...the next day I would round up all the duds and light them up...back in the 1960's it was a war zone in my neighborhood...If you drove you were a moving target for cherry bombs...
