From the NWS:
... Record setting rainfall for the climatological Summer of 2011
for Central Park...
... Despite record heat in July and above normal temperatures in June
the climatological Summer of 2011 was not one of the top ten warmest
Summers...
Central Park received a record 25.23 inches of rainfall for the
climatological Summer (which encompasses the months of
June... July... and august). This is almost twice the normal value
(13.45 inches)... and breaks the previous record of 22.40 inches set
back in 1975. This comes after both June and July were actually
below normal. In June... 3.25 inches fell. Normal for June is 3.84
inches. In July... 3.03 inches fell and the normal value is 4.62.
Some significant dates where Central Park received heavy rainfall
were August 9th... 14th... 27th... and 28th. On August 9th... a
frontal system was moving through the area and 2.09 inches fell. On
the 14th 5.81 inches of rain fell due to an upper level disturbance
which allowed for torrential rainfall and flash flooding in an
around New York City. Finally... Tropical Storm Irene helped push the
Summer of 2011 into the record books by dumping 2.88 inches on the
27th... and 3.99 inches on the 28th. Irene helped to make August 2011
the wettest August on record. It also helped make August 2011 the
all time wettest month on record. Other locations that broke records:

LaGuardia... ... ... ... ... ... 24.11
JFK... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... 22.04
Newark... ... ... ... ... ... ... 23.57
Record heat occurred in July with the Mercury passing the century
mark on July 22nd with a record 104 degrees and setting another
record on the 23rd with 100 degrees. The average temperature in
August was 3.7 degrees above normal... pushing July 2011 into the
number 2 spot for warmest July. June was also above normal... by
1.1 degrees. Despite all this... the Summer of 2011 was not in any of
the top 10 warmest Summer on record. This is because August was only
slightly above normal by 0.1 degrees.
