Suggested additions

 * information on endemic fauna in New York City
 * Oyster reef restoration in New York City
 * Billion Oyster Project


 * Climate
 * Average yearly rainfall
 * Average temperature
 * Highest wind gust (if it wasn't Hazel)
 * I emailed the National Weather Service to see what the highest winds in the city were. I wouldn't be surprised if some skyscraper recorded some crazy high wind gust, but a quick Google search doesn't have that. ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 22:56, 1 June 2022 (UTC)


 * Urban heat island
 * Sea level rise/long term flooding mitigation
 * Sunlight hours per year, or some other solar metric that would help for people looking up info for solar panels
 * Better source for wettest day being in 1882, ideally National Weather Service or someone better than a news source just getting their info from somewhere else
 * How many tornadoes on record in the city? Surely there's a better total than going back to 1974.
 * This source has some climatology info on NYC tornadoes. ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 22:56, 1 June 2022 (UTC)


 * The strongest NYC tornado was an EF2 tornado in Brooklyn on August 8, 2007. I'm having difficulty getting a source saying it was the strongest on record in the city (if it even was). ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 22:56, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Discussion
 * The pic for the section is the flooded subway station from Sandy. There might be a better weather photo, but I felt it was a good placeholder. ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 22:56, 1 June 2022 (UTC)


 * Environment
 * Deadliest smog events - 1953? 1963? 1966? Mention all three?
 * Mitigation toward cleaning smog
