NYC: August’s Weather Is Too Nice to Complain About

Typically between May and September, there are 18 days of weather above 90 degrees. This year, there have been 11 (compared with 10 last summer).

No distinct pattern emerges from data from the past two decades. In 2004, the temperature rose above 90 degrees on two days between May and September, the fewest since 1902, Mr. Daly said. In 2002, there were 32 days when it was that hot. In 1991 and 1993, there were 39 days each.
