New York City’s Central Park had highs of 91 and 90 on June 11 and 12.
Newark airport: 97,96
LaGuardia: 96,98
JFK: which is closest to the ocean, 95,93
What is going on here? How is it that directly in the heart of NYC, where it is coolest, and what does this tell us about “climate change.”
This is a map of NYC on the morning of the 13th. The heat wave is over. It’s cooler to the northwest and warmer to the southeast, as you would expect in an NW flow with a new air mass coming in.
So, after a night of cooling, it’s cooler in open areas away from the city.
So why was NYC so much cooler in the heat of the day?
