Central Park has the warmest spring on record

[Chris]

Summer is technically still weeks away, but if spring is of any indication, it could be a hot one in Central Park.

The National Weather Service announced Wednesday that this spring has been the warmest on record in the park, with an average temperature of 57.1 degrees for the months of March, April and May. That’s 4.7 degrees warmer than the historical average and 0.8 degrees warmer than the previous record, set in 1991. The coldest spring on record occurred in 1888, when temperatures averaged 44.7 degrees.

You mean after the record snowfalls melted?

 

[RadiomanATL]

And the rest of the city/county/state/country stayed the same?

Talk about inconsequential data.

Global Warming: a "Science" where you find places that are "warmer" and say "See that! Global Warming!!"

I wonder how far into the article you read Chris old boy.

""The National Weather Service has been measuring the temperature in Central Park since 1869, and although a hot spring does not guarantee a hot summer, it sometimes can.

“It could go either way,” said Matt Scalora, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service. “Right now it looks to be about average.”

For the months of June, July and August, the organization says that there is a 34% chance that temperatures will be above average. Last summer the temperature was roughly 72 degrees, a bit colder than average — few New Yorkers hauled out their air conditioners till mid-July or even August 1. The warmest summer in the park occurred in 1966 and the average temperature was 77.3 degrees. The coldest was 1903, when summer temperatures hovered around 69.3 degrees.

Since January 1920, the National Weather Service has measured the temperature of Central Park at Belvedere Castle on Transverse Road and West 79th Street. Before that, it was measured at the Arsenal Building on 64th Street and 5th Avenue.""


And no wonder about the temperature, look where it is measured....at a large HOT building. Yep, no Urban Island Effect here at all...nope!

Hmmmm.........

May 2010 UAH Global Temperature Update: +0.53 deg. C. Roy Spencer, Ph. D.

The global-average lower tropospheric temperature remains warm: +0.53 deg. C for May, 2010. The linear trend since 1979 is now +0.14 deg. C per decade.Tropics picked up a bit, but SSTs indicate El Nino has ended and we may be headed to La Nina. NOAA issued a La Nina Watch yesterday.

In the race for the hottest calendar year, 1998 still leads with the daily average for 1 Jan to 31 May being +0.65 C in 1998 compared with +0.59 C for 2010. (Note that these are not considered significantly different.) As of 31 May 2010, there have been 151 days in the year. From our calibrated daily data, we find that 1998 was warmer than 2010 on 96 of them.

160 yrs/6,000,000,000yrs= insignificant sample.

thanks for maintaining YOUR record of world class buffoonery, chrissie.

Uh, Del. 4.53 billion years. And Homo Sap has only existed for about 200,000 years. And has never had a population approaching 7 billion before.

Uh, Del. 4.53 billion years. And Homo Sap has only existed for about 200,000 years. And has never had a population approaching 7 billion before.

and the planet's never been warm before and it's all the republicans fault.

160/4,530,000,000 still equals insignificant sample.

do you blame the then existing population of earth for the warming during medieval times? do you credit them for the little ice age? did they use carbon credits to achieve it?

what is the optimal population level for earth in your opinion and which population groups have you targeted for extinction so that right thinking people like you can march towards a glorious fossil fuel free future? jews? blacks? the left handed? the seventh sons of seventh sons? people who drive hummers?

i'd like to take you seriously, i really would, but you've proven over time to be less than objective and not particularly intelligent. thanks for the effort though, i know that even though your head is up your ass, you're heart's in the right place.

---------------------------------

Record snowfalls can be another indication of warming. If the earth warms from 20 to 25 F, it's still going to snow, but it may be increased due to the ability of the atmosphere to hold more moisture at the higher temperature. That being said, the above quote tells you ABSOLUTELY NOTHING that helps the deniers' cause.

The spring really hasnt felt to hot, at least in the outer bouroughs.
