The evening world. [volume] (New York, N.Y.) 1887-1931, 1894-06-23
New York Beats the Warmest
Southern City by One Degree.
And This Is the Warmest Day OF
Summer So Far.
Just rs Warm To-Morrow, with a
Possibility OF Showers.
To-Day's Heat Record.

| Inc hottest previous June ~ In 1888. when
me thermometer scored y6 at the hottest Part OF
| the day
New York City was the hottest SPOT
| In the United States at 8 o'clock this
morning.
1t was hotter during the early hours
to-day than upon any foregoing day Of
this year. and the mercury made Its
highest score for 1894 when 1t reached 81
degrees at o'clock this afternoon.
1t Is not probable. however. that the
Signal Service record for June % will lie
broken. as there is n protecting mercy
in fresh Greece and low percentage
of humidity that ought to keep the
mercury under the &c point it struck
this day six years ago.
The heat was fully felt by the sweitcr-
ing citizen, and alth )uyh It was no
warmer on the street for a wonder than
in Mr.. Dunn's tower, and 1t was nearly
rs hot yesterday, there was n glare to
the sun that scorched the tiles on the
roofs and raised bl!stcrs on the cobble-
stones.
The street thermometers, including
Perry's, made much more rapid strides
than Mr.. Dunn's sensitive registers. At
2.3D o'clock the mercury in front OF the
Park Row drug store stood at 81 de-
grees. which was four degrees ahead OF
the Government thermometer.
At the same hour perspiring citizen
reported that lOl IL was recorded In
front Of the Aston House.
Perry's thermometer In Park Row
Row marked 81 degrees during the noon
hour. which is odd in itself. AS there is
usually from 3 to 6 degrees difference be-
tween 1t and the Government instrument.
The hottest days OF 1894 until to-day
were June II and yesterday. when the
thermometer recorded 80 degrees In the
middle Of the afternoon.
Yesterday started off with the best
showing. at 70 degrees. when the 3
o'clock observation was taken. To-day's
beat that by four degrees. when the
score of So degrees was recorded at that
hour.
When Weather Forecaster Dunn hung
up his coat this morning ne brought from
the closet a neat pair or nickel-pla ted
club skates that hung there by strap.
and remarked with that strong. logical
faculty that has made him the prophet
par excellence:
I'VE Will not need these to-day"
All the reporters solemnly noted the
fact. Skates are unnecessary to-day"
Then ne went on to say that the warm
OF highest temperature ranges from
Washington westward to the lake re-
gion ana northward as far as Albany
and Boston.
At s o'clock the temperature here was
SO degrees; Washington. Albany aud
| Boston, 80: Baltimore, ~: Erie. 81; Buff
| falo, 70; Chicago, 50; st Louis. rs: St.
Paul. 20; Morehead. MINI. 70: Dodge

New York was by one degree the hot
test spot in the United States this
morning. 1t was not touched by the
warmest report from Southern States,
which came from Key West. Fla, with
50 degrees. The coolest place In the
country was Roseburg. Ore. with 46.
A. the hour OF the first observation
to-day. the humidity was at the normal
| state of &C per cent. and the wird lay
south by southwest at six miles an
| hour.
There Is no prospect of a break in the
warm wave for to-day or tomorrow,
although there Is no indication that 1t
| Will be much warmer.
| The indications for Sunday are about
| the same as for to-day.
There were scattered showers last
| night over the Central States and Flori-
do, and rain this morning at St. Paul.
| This blessing Ia apt to visit New York
| tonight or tomorrow In the form OF
| local thunder shower, generated by the
| heat and humidity There IL no general
or appreciable rainfall IN sight
