Wow, that's amazing.

I was off by three degrees. In NYC it hit 103° F in 1966, on July 3rd, to be exact.

I remember because it was amazingly hot where I lived at the time, in Upstate NY. But the situation in NYC was all over the news because the TV networks all broadcast the nightly news from studios in Manhattan.
