Well 6F is not nothing. I don't see New York having the same heating potential as Washington as it is 200 miles further south and quite far inland. I agree with the other person, Washington's climate is more like Atlanta in the summer.

Except it isn't 6°F; In July, Central Park's average high is 84.1°F; Washington DC 88.4°F. Use LaGuardia Airport instead of Central Park, it's 85.3°F. But Washington DC is a bit closer to Atlanta.
Washington might be 200 miles west-southwest of New York but it's only 100 miles further south. Both cities have similar record highs (106 in DC, 107 in NYC) so the maximum heating potential isn't all that different.
But I don't disagree that Washington's summer conditions are closer to Atlanta's than they are to NYC's, although you're essentially splitting hairs. NYC average highs are roughly 3F cooler than Washington's, and Washington's average highs are roughly 2F cooler than Atlanta's, all summer months taken into consideration.

Well alright 4F, it's still enough to notice a difference, especially when it's inland.

Exactly, I don't get where he's going with that. DC/Baltimore is like 5-6F warmer with high temps than NYC. The lows are closer because of UHI. The typical suburbs also in the lowlands for each place are more like 4 degrees apart from what I've seen.
Nope your wrong 3 degrees difference in summer and about 4 in winter.
Even If you take whole year into consideration its still only about a 3 or 4 degrees difference.
On climate terms an annual temperature difference of 3 or 4 degrees is very large. My last two cents. Difference between NYC and Philly is more or less negligible. Difference between NYC and DC is pretty significant.

But its only about a 3 degree difference in both summer and winter. The only time of the year when DC seems somewhat significantly warmer than NYC is late winter going into Spring. (late March early April).
Yes but that's average. There will be alot of days where there is more than a 3c difference.
