2015 (Tuesday)
Today was the sixteenth day this month with a high of 80°+, which is close to average.

Additionally, June's average high of 79.5° was just 0.1 degree above that of May. (But its average low was 5.3 degrees warmer.)

It was scorching-hot day, with a high of 98°, the hottest reading in Central Park since the summer of 2013, and the hottest high temperature in June since 1994 (also 98°). This was the fourth day in a row with a high in the 90s (the other days had highs of 90°, 92°, and 95°), joining another four-day heat wave earlier in the month. This was just the second June with two heat waves of four days or more (the other was in 1943, which is the hottest June on record).
Thundershowers moved through after 8:30, cooling the temperature to 73° (the morning low had been a sultry 80°). The rain kept this from being the second June in a row with less than two inches of rain, and the amount that fell (0.65", much of it between 10-11 PM) was the greatest daily amount of the month.
