Cooling Trend Continues

The New York Post reports this has been the coldest summer in ten years. Writing about the local weather, they say:

Only four days have hit 90 degrees this summer, three in July and one in August, with the hottest temperature on the books clocking in at 91.

The last time the city went without a heat wave – classified as three consecutive days of temperatures higher than 90 degrees – was in 2004.

Typically, the city sees at least 15 days that top 90 degrees with at least one heat wave mixed in.

Before you get your shorts in a twist, yes, I do understand the difference between climate and weather. Still, it is difficult to convince folks of a hotter climate to come when the weather appears to be going in the opposite direction.
