inspired by a shoutbox conversation with Yahya Sinwar after I got a cold front and assumed there was a good chance he'd get a temperature drop. I compared Hartford-Bradley Airport (actually halfway between Springfield, MA and Hartford) with Raleigh Airport from 1949-2017 (already downloaded data in early 2018, didn't feel like bothering to re-download it. I think tarlife was commenting on NYC but I have Hartford already downloaded and am more interested in it. Anyway, if NYC should be a bit more similar to Raleigh than Hartford. First, comparing change daily mean temperature in one day between the two airports. For example, +5 means it was 5°F warmer than the day before by daily mean. You can see if it warmed/cooled in Hartford, was more likely to do so in Raleigh
relation is tighter in winter. R = 0.57 if you care about those things
========
or compare anomalies (subtract the 1981-2010 daily normals for each day). If the day is above average in Raleigh, likely to be above average in Hartford.
summer relation is messier but still a correlation (R = 0.41)
perhaps would be more meaningful to do something beyond correlations, maybe looking only at days after fronts?
