NYC gained a new official weather station, but of course it's located on the water.

At least that would keep the minimum temps elevated compared to inland right?


Northerly Island is on the lakeshore




Chicago University about 1.5 miles away from the lake

Yeah, but that's already the case at LaGuardia and JFK. I don't have a problem with a weather station being on the water, but it's just that there's three coastal stations now, plus the heavily wooded Central Park station.

I'm still interested in seeing how it performs compared to the other stations, especially since it isn't as removed from "urban NYC" as the other stations, but then again that probably won't matter since it's literally in the East River.

I tried the same thing earlier to no avail, it's odd. According to wunderground it went live in July, I didn't know about it until today.
