What was the weather like in new york on May 19 1962?

Answer 1

May 19, 1962 was one of the greatest weather freaks of the 20th century in New York City. At Central Park on that day it was 99 degrees, which broke the May record by three degrees, and this was the MIDDLE of the month. This 50-year-old May record has been challenged in 1969 and 1987 but never broken. It tied the record for the hottest spring day in New York (prior to the summer solstice on June 21). Many places up and down the east coast set their May record on the same day, and in most cases, the record still stands.
