As a part of the Cool Neighborhoods Initiative, the NYC Parks Department, Mayor’s Office of Resilience and NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene monitored street level temperature on a subset of city blocks in some of the neighborhoods with highest heat mortality risk during the summers of 2018 and 2019. The dataset includes hourly average values at approximately 475 locations in degrees Fahrenheit.

Temperature and precipitation projections for NYC reported by the New York City Panel on Climate Change (NPCC).

The New York City Panel on Climate Change (NPCC) started in 2009 and was codified in Local Law 42 of 2012 with a mandate to provide an authoritative and actionable source of scientific information on future climate change and its potential impacts.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the United Nations body for assessing the science related to climate change.
