Official National Weather Service observations from the Central Park station recorded a maximum temperature of 62°F on October 4, 2026, confirming the market resolution. This value aligned with cooler-than-normal conditions for early October, when the 1991–2020 average high is about 69.5°F, driven by a post-frontal air mass and light precipitation that limited daytime warming. Multiple ASOS reports and the preliminary climatological summary corroborated the peak near midday before temperatures fell into the mid-50s. While instrument calibration issues or station-specific microclimate variations could theoretically alter a final reading, the consensus across automated and manual data sources leaves little room for revision.
