From hottest to coldest in less than a month
CBS:
Tuesday’s high temperature in Central Park was just 59 degrees. The normal high for today is 82 degrees. The normal low is 67.
“This unusual blast of cold air smashed our previous record for the coldest high temperature on August 21, which is 64 degrees, set back in 1999,” CBS 2 meteorologist Jason Cali told wcbstv.com.
In fact, the 59-degree high tied the record for the coldest high temperature ever for the month of August in New York City, when it reached just 59 degrees in 1911.
So now the last decade is full of “coldest days ever.” Why, just a month ago, the last decade was full of “hottest days ever.” No doubt the Bush administration and capitalism is at fault — hotter, colder, whatever.
