1933 (Thursday)
Less than a week after a record high of 97° (on 6/9), this morning's low of 48° was half that temperature, and also a record for the date.
1971 (Tuesday)
Showery (0.32" fell) and cool, with a high/low of just 60°/56°. The high temperature was nineteen degrees below average and more in line with the second week of April.
1974 (Saturday)
High temperatures of today and the previous three days: 79° (today)-78°-77°-76°.
1983 (Wednesday)
Today's high was 92°, the fourth day in a row with a high in the 90s.
1988 (Wednesday)
For the second day in a row the high reached 96°.
1989 (Thursday)
Overcast skies, AM drizzle, and winds off the ocean resulted in just a three-degree difference between today's high (61°) and low (58°). The low was five degrees below average, but the high was 19 degrees below the norm.
1994 (Wednesday)
Today's high reached 96°. This was the first of four days in the next 30 with a high of 96° or hotter. (Through 2025 there hasn't been a reading in the 90s on this date since.)
1998 (Monday)
Today was the fifteenth consecutive day with cooler than average temperatures. During these days high temperatures ranged between 65° and 73° (average is 78°). This made the first half of June six degrees cooler than average.
2014 (Sunday)
Today was Father's Day, and if you forgot to buy your Dad a necktie there was no need to fret since the weather was enough of a gift as skies were mostly clear and the afternoon temperature rose to a seasonable 80°. Today's low of 59° was the third, and last, day with a low in the 50s this month, the fewest since June 1996 (which also had three, all in the first three days of the month).
2022 (Wednesday)
Today, with a high of 83°, was the third day in a row with a high of 80°+ in Central Park - the first time this year, and the deepest into a year since 2003. Typically, a streak of this length occurs around May 21-23. (The first reading of 80°+ this year, on 5/21, was the latest since 1988).
Today was Father's Day, and for the first time since 2014 its high temperature (64°) was cooler than the high on Mother's Day (77°). And today's high was the coolest on Father's Day on record (previous coolest was 65° in 1970). The majority of Father's Days have low temperatures warmer than this year's high.
Lastly, today had overcast skies, with some light rain during the evening. The 0.03" that fell was the first measurable rain on this date in 10 years.
