In the wee hours of the morning, Central Park had its third one-hour deluge of an inch or more in the past five days. The 1.42” that poured down, mostly between 2:15-3:15, brought the month’s rainfall to 8.49”, making this the wettest July since 1975, and the 7th wettest July (with 19 days to go). The rest of the day was rain-free, but the air was oppressive, with dew points in the 72° to 75° range. This produced a heat index in the low 90s (the afternoon high was 86°).
