Today in New York City Weather History: April 23

This was the sixth day in a row with a high of 74° or warmer.  The average high during this streak was 78°, which was 15 degrees above average. 


1977 (Saturday)

This was the 18th day in a row with no measurable rain.  This followed a rainy four-day period (4/2-5) in which nearly three inches fell.  

 

1979 (Monday)

Today's high reached 81° under clear skies, the first day in the 80s of the year (very close to the typical date for the first 80).

Last night's rainstorm, which produced 0.68" thru midnight, continued until about 10 AM today, dropping an additional 1.51".  With 2.19" in total, this was the greatest amount from one storm since the beginning of October. (And it would be the greatest amount this year until 7/14 when 2.64" fell.)
