FYI, I don't like the heat at all. My hope is that we go the entire summer without hitting 90 F once. Sadly, that has never happened here. So, according to accuweather's 45 day (Quite unreliable), NYC has no 90 F temps in forecast even into late June.
I would love that forecast to hold up .
I have no need for 90s. I sure don't know anyone who does. My wish for this summer is warm ocean temperatures, though, and that the weather is neither too wet nor too dry.
Don't even know why they moved the official site from MDW to ORD is 1980? ORD isn't really even "in" the city

Don't know about impossible since as few as 2 days hit 90 as recently as 2004 (that's at Central Park, maybe LGA had more that year), but very highly improbable
Btw, MDW's fewest number of 90F days is 1979 with also only 2 being recorded. Interestingly ORD had 15 days in 1979. Maybe a bunch of days were at 89 degrees at MDW but 90 at ORD?. It's usually the other way around. In 2004 we only had 4 at MDW. ORD had 3 in 1967 and 2004.

LGA had 7 in 2004; lowest is 4 in 1978 and 1972. JFK had only 1 in 2004 and in 1967 the hottest reading was 89F. Newark managed to pump out 13 in 2004; lowest there is 7 in 1967. Bridgeport had 0 in 2004, 1962, and 1950.
Considering that there has been as few as two 90F days per annum at Central Park in the period of record, I'd say it certainly is possible for NYC to go the whole summer without hitting 90F. I'd go even further and suggest that it is likely that such a summer has occurred at some point since 1600. Will such an event happen this year? Probably not. To the extent we're seeing cooler weather in late Spring 2014 it's centered in the interior rather than the coast (that pattern has been predominate since August 2012).
However, we are seeing a recurring pattern of tropical air, moisture, and rain along the East Coast during warmer periods; if this pattern continues, and I think it will through the early summer, that will tend to tamp down daytime highs and keep up nighttime lows. One effect of this pattern is greater difficulty getting up to 90F; in that tropical wet pattern this time of year the norm is 80's by day and 70's by night. So I'll go out on a limb and predict that Central Park won't hit 90F until sometime in July, and that a 24-hour low of 75F will be recorded before the first 90F.
