Speaking of JFK, I remember when it hit 99 under fully overcast skies with a W or NW wind. I don’t remember what year that was but it was in the early 2010’s when I still lived in Queens, it felt so weird.
Partly cloudy to mostly sunny and mid 60’s right now. People in shorts and t-shirts.
High of 68, low of 47. Turned out better than I was expecting today.
Southern Pine Beetles are annihilating the Pitch Pines in Suffolk. Entire stands of dead trees visible along the LIE and William Floyd Parkway. The ones that died 2-3 years ago are coming down in 40 mph wind events.
Temps were in the upper 40’s in the Hamptons this afternoon, went to Riverhead from there and the temp jumped about 10 degrees.
64/33 today. 60’s were very fleeting, however.
