On June 16, 2026, New York City’s Central Park recorded a high temperature between 75°F and 76°F. The reading aligned with a regional heatwave that had pushed forecasts into the mid‑70s, and the absence of cloud cover allowed temperatures to peak as the day progressed. Forecasters from The Guardian and AccuWeather had warned that the lingering El Niño pattern could drive unusually warm June days, and the observed high validated those models. The market had priced the 75‑76°F range as an overwhelming favorite, reflected in 99%.
