Currently.. the temperature is 2.6C / 36.6F.. completely clear, calm.. it feels freezing outside, I didn't expect it to fall this low, but what a way to start Autumn.
^^ I was expecting a low of about 8 here but we got 5.6C, the coldest August night since at least the 1950s (unfortunately I don't have the full Hampstead record going back to 1909). It looks like we're back to summer weather for a while yet though with days above 20 and nights around 12-15. The coldest nationwide seems to have been the -2C at Braemar - I don't suppose it's a record for August but it doesn't happen too often.
Unfortunately I only got to 5c because of the cloud. But I would say I would've got to 0c or close if it had stayed clear as I hit that temperature at 12:30 and there was still around 6 hours for it to drop. We got very close at 2c a few weeks ago aswell.
Maybe sometime in September then.
But the coldest station last night was tulloch Bridge at -2c which is quite cold for august.
Look at the eastern edge of Long Island! Same as the city.
Whats the deal with that?
But their low actually went to 58 yesterday. NYC did not.
Right now all areas are the same around low to mid 70s. So it seems like NYC just stays warm all night and doesnt flucuate like other spots including eastern Long Island.
I guess thats what concrete does. It holds in the heat. So while the true air temp over the NorthEast was low, the concrete from NYC was actually keeping the area warm. But then doesnt warm up as quick as other spots in the A.M.
NYC in the 70s. Outside NYC in the 50s and 60s. Just look at where the 50s are. You dont have to go far. Always amazing to see NYC boil.
