Under the "precipitation" section, the "averages" table shows several months with greater "average snowfall inches" than "average precipitation inches." How is that possible? I suspect that the precipitation numbers are only for rain, but that would be a pretty unusual definition of "precipitation," so there should be an explanation. If the numbers are in error, then they should be fixed, but I can't access the original data cited in the footnote. 74.71.86.1 ( talk) 02:26, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
It seems the definition is to ignore the frost period, making the bio temperature higher than simply the average annual temp. Ignoring December through March basically, the warmer stations like laguardia and jfk average in the low sixties (61 or 64 needed) which makes the holdridge 'humid subtropical' or subtropical moist forest.

While this suggestion will likely go nowhere, wouldn't LaGuardia be a better representative of NYC's urban climate than Central Park? I understand that LaGuardia is not in Manhattan, but it is in NYC limits, and is in a more urbanized zone. We know that parks tend to be cold spots in urban climates (see for example here [1]). Just some thoughts though, I see that as procedure, stations that are closer to the center would be more likely candidates for Wikipedia. Uness232 ( talk) 12:25, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
