No it will just be more like Florida.

It's going to happen.

temps in the 40s are just too cold.

ewr hitting 85 behind a seabreeze in april is still pretty impressive

and JFK hitting 80.

I hope the oceans warm enough in the next few decades that seabreezes become a thing of the past.

Are they? Feels like we've had many that have lasted into May in the past several years, espec with these crazy blocking patterns. Memory could be hazy trying to remember earlier times tho!

We're getting more blocking patterns in April and May, but I'm not sure if they are back door fronts.  With temps dropping into the mid-upper 30s, they seem more like pseudowinter type arctic fronts.  Instead of getting those in the winter when we're supposed to be getting them, we're getting them in spring now.  But we're getting these overperforming warm days too, like last April we had two days in the 90s and this is now our third day in the 80s for the month.

I love it when heat overperforms. 

you knew it would happen when yesterday way overperformed too

EWR: 91 (1974)
NYC:89 (1974)
LGA: 88 (2017)
JFK: 85 (2017)

all of these records could be broken today!

They certainly have a better late March to mid May climate as they often avoid BDCFs and the associated cloudy and easterly flow. If our winters continue to stink then I'd agree that they have a better overall climate considering their better Spring weather and as we both roast in the summer and have similar Autumns. 

back door fronts are thankfully becoming less common here too, they usually happen in early April and not this late in the month

Up to 81 at my station now.

yeah we're not susceptible to back door fronts like eastern New England is.

I hit 84 here

Yeah it's this time of year I'm happy we're not in New England lol

I often wish we had DC’s climate, or at least much less susceptible to BDCF’s.

82 here.

It wont cool down here until after peak heating, well into the 80s here on the south shore

Picked up .39" rainfall overnight.  Dare I say "needed" rainfall.  Topsoil was getting dry. 

Very warm and humid start to the day.

Night time rainfall is great  especially when it doesn't interfere with day time heat!

The usual warm spots from around Philly  NE into NJ should get very close to 90° ahead of the backdoor this afternoon. 
 

I think even coastal areas will easily make it to 80 or higher.  The temperatures are being underforecast.  We are already at 77 here and it's not even 9:30 AM yet LOL

Anyone familiar with the Ambient weather WS2902?

 

I have the original monitor and it won't connect to wifi any longer (seems ambient disabled that functionality and you have to buy a new monitor of course).

Anyhow... I just set it up outside in a less than ideal location but there was already a hole from a tree stump so I went with it. Temp dew etc should all be fine but wind will be less since there a tree 20 feet to its west and it also gets shade from that after 5 pm so the insolation and UV will be skewed.

Temp and dew will be fine since not direct sunlight. So trade offs I suppose.

 

Anyhow... .15 inches of rain last night in the bucket.

It sounds like a repackaged LaCrosse weather station.  I've bought from Ambient in the past and that's what I got.  I never used wifi though, because the wired connections update much faster.

The evolving ENSO transition favors a hot summer. I suspect that many parts of the NYC area will have a shot at 100 this summer. We'll have to see if the heat penetrates Central Park's forest.

I'm gungho about JFK finally hitting 100 again too

5 minutes ago, bluewave said:

The tree growth over the ASOS has become so dense that Central Park hasn’t made it over 98° since 2012 which is a new record.

Maybe we will have a nice dry summer-- dry through at least July with 3 inches or less rainfall each month would be great.

JB has moved past what turned out to be his latest missed call and is talking about a pattern similar to 1966 and 1977 for the second week of May. 

both had record breaking hot stretches in the summer.

Oh man I know the feeling...cooking Sunday dinner tonight was brutal....dews in my kitchen must've reached 80+ from all the pasta I was cooking haha

Yeah it definitely felt like a sauna lol, and then it just gets stuck inside the house even when you open the windows.

Just now, SRRTA22 said:

If you're saying yuck with dews in the mid 50s...you have a very long summer ahead of you my friend 

I know!  I liked it much better with clear blue skies and low humidity lol.

Although it's Sunday and I was cooking food for the entire week today so the whole house got hot from that.

Not many better ones to look at

It changed to rain for us, I still look at January 2016 as the peak of our winter storms.

I'm looking back at old runs for the big Jan 2021 Blizzard. 

Coastal hugger though

There are better ones for us to look at.
