More from the "weather is not climate" department. While our economy cools, so do apparently our cities. Cincinnati has a similar problem, and does Traverse City, and the cool weather doesn't "play in Peoria".
Taken by themselves it doesn't mean much, but it is interesting.

...Unusually Cool July For Central Park...
For Some Perspective...Here Are The Top Ten Coolest Julys On Record
Since 1869 For Central Park In New York City:
| Coolest | |
| Avg. Temp. | Year |
| 70.7 | 1888 |
| 71.9 | 1884 |
| 72.1 | 1914 |
| 72.3 | 2000/1871 |
| 72.4 | 1891 |
| 72.6 | 1895 |
| 72.8 | 1902/1869 |
| 72.9 | 1956 |
| 73.1 | 1890 |
| 73.2 | 2001 |
Due to the unusually cool conditions thus far in July ...Here are some interesting facts to note...
With an average daily temperature of 71.6...currently running 4.7 degrees below normal...this July is on track for the 2nd coolest on record. Below average temperatures have occurred on 21 out of 23 days...with the other two days being normal. There have been zero above normal days.
Central Park has only reached 85 degrees once this month...on the 17th...and has not yet reached 90 degrees this summer. If this continues through the end of the month...it will only be the second time since 1869 that 90 degrees was not reached in June or July. The only other time this occurred was 1996.
