The dew point, which measures humidity, dipped into the 40s and 50s between Monday and Thursday — making the city feel more like a mountain town than the juicy urban jungle.
“It’s absolutely gorgeous this week. Tons of people are out. It’s much more comfortable for drivers and horses than usual,” said 52-year-old Central Park carriage driver Adrian Marrs.Enjoying the outdoors a little more comfortably, New Yorkers nap in the shade.Naki Armani, 27, who works as a security guard at Wolman Rink in the park, said the pleasant weather makes his job easier.
Central Park carriage driver Adrian Marrs said the mild weather is a welcome respite after last week’s heat wave.Wednesday’s humidity plunged even lower with a dew point of 46 and a high temperature of 81 degrees, and Thursday was forecast to hit a high of 80 with a dew point of 58. “When the dew point is in the 50s and 40s, it’s nice and crisp, so even though temperatures have been in the 80s this week, it hasn’t felt like it,” said FOX Weather meteorologist Brian Mastro.
But the cooler, drier weather may not stay long — Friday was forecast to reach a high of 80 degrees with a dew point climbing to a muggier 66.Saturday is expected to hit a high of 86 degrees and a dew point of 64.
