Italicized numbers are estimated numbers. Some weather data was unrecoverable, and therefore an estimate had to be calculated. ET = Evapotranspiration (Penman Monteith method) (Provided by the Northeast Regional Climate Center at Cornell University ) Accumulated GDD is determined using the Daily Maximum – Minimum Average Method at all locations except for Laurel where an Omnidata Biophenometer is being used for determining Accumulated GDD. Observation times (24 hour period): 12:00 midnight – East Hampton (Airport), Farmingdale (Airport), Jamesport, Islip (Islip/MacArthur Airport), NYC Central Park, NYC-JFK, Shirley (Airport), Westhampton (Airport). 7:00 am – Laurel. Hourly – Bridgehampton (Bridgehampton’s NEWA weather station is no longer in operation. Estimations are taken based on North Watermill NEWA station. 5:00 pm – Riverhead, LIHREC Brookhaven Hamlet, Cutchogue (NEWA) – These weather stations will not be used in GDD calculations in 2016 Cornell Cooperative Extension is an employer and educator recognized for valuing AA/EEO, Protected Veterans, and Individuals with Disabilities and provides equal program and employment opportunities.
