I'm not sure either would happen anytime soon. But NYC has hit 76 in December and LA; 97.
I'm sure there is a part of L.A that has hit 100 F in December even it's a weather station in a small suburb. The NYC 76 reading was probably in early December. L.A. is capable of warm Santa Ana winds even late in the month. My guess is both are about equal.
Why is NYC winning on this? You guys are nuts. An inland area of L.A can hit 100 easily on Christmas day, if conditions are ideal. Im on the coast and there have been several Christmas days in which the temperature has been 80 degrees. An inland location can easily hit 100.

Because NYC's record high for December is already similar to the proposed situation, LA has only reached 31°C in December, a far cry from the proposed situation of 38°C.

That may be so (I'm actually unsure), but the 70's have been reached in January and February as well, and both months are colder than December.

According to weather data, the record high for NYC on December 25 is 62F (16.5C).
Los Angeles' record high for December 25 is 85F (29.4C).
LA's 85 on xmas is 15 degrees from the proposed 100 scenario, and NYC's xmas record is 13 from the proposed 75 scenario. Shot your foot there... NYC is still more likely to hit 75 on xmas based on the daily records.
