It hit 103°F in NYC on 3 July 1966.
It hit 106°F in NYC on 9 July 1936.
Today’s peak temp in Manhattan: 94°F.
I just checked - it’s 116 degrees in my greenhouse with all doors and vents open.
It’s pretty much worthless to me by the end of May, but it’s lovely to get the jump on things in early spring and will be lovely again to extend the growing season once we cool back down.
89 degrees is the outdoor temp right now. It’s not as humid as they were predicting, but there is also no breeze, so that makes it tough if you have to work outdoors.
I buzz through outside & barn chores before 10am these days. I love my AC! :)
Stop slinging facts around, you racist! It muddies the message!
And without AC back in 36 and maybe not in 66.
