NYC Central Park High Of 59 in August Would Tie Record For Coldest August High Ever

Tuesday, August 21st, 2007

From CBS News in New York -

“If this high holds up, it will smash the previous record for the coldest high temperature for the day, which is 64 degrees, set back in 1999,” CBS 2 meteorologist Jason Cali told wcbstv.com.

“In fact, if it doesn’t warm up at all for the rest of the day, the 59-degree high would tie the record for the coldest high temperature ever for the month of August in New York City, when it reached just 59 degrees in 1911.

“Today’s highs are more common in the city for the final days of October, when the average high ranges from 59 degrees to 61 degrees.”

Only when it is unusually hot in the winter do we hear about “global warming”, but when it’s unusually cool in the summer, well that means it is unusually cool in the summer and that’s all.  Has nothing to do with climate change…

Temperatures go up and they go down.  Humans impact on climate change is negligible at best.
