Yeah today is well above normal. An awesome 81/55 right now. Normal max temp is 72F at MVL… so good +10 en route today. Yesterday was +6 on the max temp. Today’s low-80s are about mid-summer normals. So it’s summer out there.
-
I like the extremes in short bursts though. The novelty of it. But the older I get the less desire I have to be outside in uncomfortable weather. Used to love the challenge of working on the mountain at -30F or 90F and humid…. like a challenge. Now it’s like if it could stay between 20F and 80F annually we’re all set even not working outside anymore… aka boring deflated weenie.
-
Brutal cold can suck it too, lol. Hate the sub-zero days.
-
Yeah September has felt much more uncomfortable than May/June but the seasonal lag that 40/70 mentioned makes a lot of sense. I feel like the dews linger into October too.
-
I agree but I enjoy this time of year most seasons… we tend to be further away from the Atlantic mank and get over the top warmth. Running +1 to +5 in the spring to early summer is a fine climo to live in around these parts. A lot of highs in the 70s when normals were 60s.
-
I think every single one of those is above normal except for 1 or 2 days. Fantastic June.
-
First ever full melt on the forums in early June?
-
Ha, you guys are funny. DIT thinking it’ll split around him and rain heavily eastern Mass or Berkshires westward… you are like nope, won’t rain heavy in E.MA. I have no idea what it’ll do, but it reads like everyone has a different reason for why it won’t rain in a particular gridpoint .

Black flies exploded today at they were biting on the mountain. Very little wind, maybe they’ve been around but the past two days had next to none… today I felt like I was their deep fried Turkey thigh at a rural county fair. Just getting devoured.
-
It’s early June… take the water? Wait for the hit/miss season in July/August. See what Stein has to say, ha. The 2-m rolling temp anomalies stayed above normal in the means too on the GEFS, so probably some dews and elevated mins. Likely the period averages out above normal as it always does. Anyway, another beautiful sunny June day in the 70s and low 80s this afternoon (above normal).
-
Wouldn’t the rain be beneficial? Its like on one hand everyone wants to complain about it being dry but also doesn’t want any rain from May to October lol.
-
Ha damn. 39F here.
-
I was thinking about that today... most certainly an underrated month. Sneakily becoming one of my favorites over the last several years. The long daylight, mix of air masses, mostly the long daylight, ha. Hanging out at the picnic tables on the Octagon Deck at 5-6pm today and it felt like the middle of the afternoon because the sun doesn't set for 3 hours. Average valley temps this time of year are 72/47, seasons in seasons for the win.
-
The irony is it should... those things are like magnets to tourists and locals alike. There are still a couple good piles along the Toll Road from when it was plowed off by the snowcats at the end of the season. Found a dozen people on one the other day with 7 cars stopped alongside. Like they found the last Infinity Stone.
-
Sounds terrible. It seems almost physically impossible at this point to get a cool wet summer relative to normal. So we’ve got that going for us. Even June is already above normal. Been very comfortable and nice weather… but yet +1 to +3 the last few days.
-
Honestly this weather the last week or two feels like it couldn’t be anymore seasons in seasons. Haven’t checked any departures though. We get hot and humid in August and September these days, lol. Feels like late May and early June are about as they should be… seasons in season.
-
I also enjoy the heat waves and stretches of 2-3 days at a time where you are like wow, this is hot. I definitely enjoy those more than I used to but for what NNE outdoor activities are in summer, unless you are sailing on Lake Champlain there’s a lot more fun to be had at like 82/55. Luckily we can all have our preferences and it isn’t 90F every day from May to October.

It's been having an early-warm season type of vibe lately with the bright green vegetation. Some days are more humid and buggy, some are crisp and breezy. A drier day. There's been some awesome, crisp afternoons. Today was low RH, low dew point, warm (sun is strong this time of year), classic chamber of commerce stuff. Travel Guide vibes.
-
It is becoming warmer, we’ve tipped it that way. Many installing A/C where it was rare. There are a lot of days that are comfortable, but more and more are torching. Today was not one of them though. For those solidly into the humid bubble in the means, it makes sense to embrace it fully. It’ll come up here.
-
Love it ha. Enjoy Disney… your kids will remember that for a long time. That experience is supposed to be hot and humid with water parks, pools, etc. Florida has the summer vibe.
-
Sometimes you feel for the kids who aren’t allowed to play outside if it doesn’t involve a pool. Just looking out the window as little Timmy skates by on rollerblades to the neighborhood street hockey game. They look the other direction and see a basketball game going on street side with their buddies from the school bus. Poor kids just yearning to go outside and enjoy the warm season activities but instead are kept inside until it’s hot and humid enough to swim somewhere.
-
Is it summer? It was a terrible day up here though. No one should be subjected to the horrors of awesome outdoor activities like golf, hiking, mountain biking, kids playing kickball, softball and lax games, etc.
-
Wonder how chilly it gets tonight with the dews hitting freezing this afternoon. We just lost 10F in like an hour… now 64/41. Wonder if we dip into the 30s if it can go calm as it is very clear right now?
-
Man this air is dry. Even after brief rain the dews are down in the lower 30s. 73/33 at MVL. 23% RH in June, we take.

Stay safe out there in pollen land. Had our daily pop-up shower to keep the pollen down up here. As Coastalwx says, it seems to rain every day, even if only for 5 minutes.
