Isn't NYC next to the ocean? Coastal areas usually aren't that warm.
When NYC gets a SW flow, the fact that it's on the ocean doesn't matter. Though obviously it doesn't get the same extreme heat that places inland at the same latitude get (like KS and NE for example). But NYC can get above 100 F easily.
Btw, I don't think NYC reaching reaching 40 C on 5 straight days will happen anytime soon. But I can see places like Newark doing it.

Next to the ocean isn't a decisive features, we must no forget that NYC is on the east side of the continent therefore the ocean doesn't affect the temperature as on west continent coast.
I think 5 straight days over 100 °F is maybe possible but I'm not sure for 104 °F.
Probably one reason why I suffer here with high dew points. Very woodsy and Green. Maybe I should stop with the veggie garden at least. LOL
Wonder if it might have something to do with east coast of FL being more humid than the west coast? Since Tampa Bay is more built up and has shorter trees.

Yep, though a south flow in late spring results in NYC being cooler than inland. NYC's forecast highs are a few degrees cooler than us this week. NYC reaches 100°F less than every year, didn't reach 100°F in Central Park in 2002-2009, JFK Airport 2000-2009 and 1984-1992, LGA Airport more often recently but didn't from 1967 to 1990.
NYC hasn't even had 4 days in a row of 99°F(37C) Max let alone getting 104. lol
They did have 4 days of 98°F (July 1993. August 1953, August 1933, & August 1917)
Real Feel however I believe there has been 4 days+ of low 100s.
Last time NYC hit 100F(37.7C) was July 18, 2012

Yup, and 2 days in a row of 101° July 1999 and few other years.
But if 4 days in a row hasn't been achieved for 99°F, I doubt they'll ever do it for 104°F.
Then again... I have learned NEVER to say doubt or cant with weather. Anything can happen.
I wonder what the poll would be like if you had you said 100 instead, or 99.

Shorter trees? Where did you get that idea from?
The east coast is more humid because the warm water of the Florida Current keeps dew points higher. Prevailing winds are easterlies, so it's wetter and cloudier too.
