The temperate in NYC reaches 78°F or higher on Octover

Resolution criteria

• Resolve YES if the National Weather Service Central Park (station KNYC / USW00094728) daily climate report (product code CLINYC) shows a Maximum temperature ≥ 78°F for Wednesday, October 1, 2025 (local time 12:00 AM–11:59 PM EDT). Otherwise NO. Primary source: NWS CLINYC; use the “YESTERDAY — MAXIMUM” value in the report issued early on Oct 2 summarizing Oct 1. Backup if CLINYC is unavailable: NOAA/NCEI Daily Summaries (TMAX) for station USW00094728. (forecast.weather.gov)

• Links to check at resolution time:

  • NWS CLINYC (NYC): use “Previous Version” to navigate to the Oct 2 issuance covering Oct 1. (forecast.weather.gov)

  • IEM archive of CLINYC (stable mirror). (mesonet2.agron.iastate.edu)

  • NOAA/NCEI Daily Summaries for USW00094728 (Central Park) if needed. (ncei.noaa.gov)

Background

• “NYC” temperature in official climate reports refers to Central Park; CLINYC is the daily climate summary for that station and lists the day’s maximum. (forecast.weather.gov)

• Normal high on Oct 1 in Central Park is ~70°F (1991–2020 normals). (forecast.weather.gov)

• Recent context: Central Park reached 77°F on Sep 25, 2025 (normal 73°F). Early October records can exceed 90°F (e.g., 94°F on Oct 5, 1941). (forecast.weather.gov)

Considerations

• Use the final daily report for Oct 1 (issued early Oct 2). Midday “valid today as of 4 PM” CLINYC updates are preliminary and not for resolution. (forecast.weather.gov)

• If NWS later issues a corrected CLINYC for Oct 1 on Oct 2–3, use the latest
