Our Aprils were hotter and drier in the late 70s. It's actually pretty surprising how much more common 90 degree heat was in April back then.
-
it's gotten worse, if you look back at the 70s, 80s and 90s all the way to 2002 we had drier Aprils back then and more 90 degree days in April than we have now. Note especially April 1976, 77, 78.

what a historic event this was. Lows:EWR: 17 (1982) BlizzardNYC: 21 (1982)LGA: 22 (1982)JFK: 20 (1982)
-
we will be in flooding conditions soon at this rate.
-
Much better than the crap we have now.

a hurricane in August 1893 destroyed Hogs Island near the Rockaways

Early indications are that summer 2025 will be warmer than normal in the New York City and Philadelphia areas. The potential exists for a much warmer than normal summer (more than 1° above normal). Good as long as it's not this wet and not extremely humid.
-
72 and sunny no winds, this is the warmest it's been here since last Saturday when it was 83 here.
-
If you're a Mets fan today was the perfect day for the home opener, the sun came out right around 2 pm and it's blindingly bright right now and no wind.
-
Today is not bad at all, no wind and bright and sunny this afternoon!
-
Well the Mets home opener should at least be okay. It's bright and sunny again here!
-
Now MLB starts in late March lol
-
Chris, do you have the earliest and latest 90 degrees for JFK too? I wonder if 2002 had the earliest 90 degrees at Central Park. I'm pretty sure the latest 90 degrees happened in October a few years ago.
-
Yes that was one magical day, we were in the 80s as late as 5:10 PM before that cold front came through. I find it really interesting that 1990 had both the earliest and latest 90 degree day (and 2021 is second in both) and both are records that stand out, I doubt 3-13 will ever be bested and 10-14 was only tied. Nothing else is within 2 weeks of either record!!
-
Completely overcast again, it was nice while it lasted. Looks like we won't get continuous sunshine until Tuesday when the cold air gets here.
-
JFK: 29 (1995) Underrated arctic air shot in 1995 around this time, we were only in the 30s during the day with bright sunshine and gusty winds and low to mid 20s at night!! Mid January weather in early April!! LGA: 76 (2010)JFK: 73 (2010) This early heat was a predecessor to our earliest 90 degrees on record (92) on the 7th!!
-
More than a bit it's very sunny here, MUCH better than yesterday now!
-
with sunny skies? without sunshine any so-called warm up is meaningless (especially here where we deal with an onshore flow)
-
my first snowstorm memory!! sometimes people forget that entire week was very cold and we had another (minor) snowstorm a week later, about an inch of snow here!!
-
Something we might never see again
-
Fortunately, Sunday will be the last cloudy and rainy day, a strong push of cold air will drive all of this muck well offshore.
-
This makes sense and why we get longer periods of dry weather and longer periods of wet weather. As far as the current pattern is concerned, we're going to need a strong push of cold air to drive the moisture south of us so we can clear out and finally get sun back.
-
where do the record 500mb ridges come from? how accurately can we predict them in advance, Chris?
-
looks like lots of flooding. I'd rather have April 2002
-
I noticed that the fast Pac flow makes it drier in the fall and winter but wetter in the Spring. I wonder if it will go back to drier again as the jet stream moves north for the Summer. 1966 would have been my favorite summer (never experienced it but just reading about it) and 1966-67 would have been my favorite winter of that decade.
