10 Hottest Temperature Days in New York City History
These are the ten hottest weather temperature days in New York City history dating back to 1870. Weather temperature data has been collected in Central Park since 1870. I've lived in the New York metro area most of my life, and though it can get hot in the city, the heat is usually not oppressive except for heat waves in the summer.
The hottest temperature ever recorded in New York City is 106 degrees, which occurred during the summer of 1936. The summer of 1936 was the hottest in the history of the United States. Dozens of hottest weather temperatures were set for states and cities all over the country in 1936.
Since 1870, there have been a total of 58 days when the temperature reached 100 degrees or more in New York City. The decade with the most 100 degree days is the 1950s. During the 1950s, there were 12 days when the temperature reached 100 or more degrees.
With all the talk of global warming one would think New York City would have had many 100 degree weather temperature days in the last decade. But there were only four 100 degree days in the last 10 years in New York City.
