.18 here

Rain starting here.

Still getting brief heavy showers here.

Ended up with .95 here, actually needed it as things were starting to get too dry.

More heavy rain moving thru here. Day total up to .91

Heavy rain and thunder moved thru, been windy all day. Total rain so far .58

Long Island certainly overdue for a land falling hurricane. Last one was Gloria in 1985.

Was on the Bronx River Pkwy. when the heavy rain went thru. Three areas were flooded causing traffic back ups. I thought I was out of it but hit another big backup because a tree fell across three lanes and only the shoulder was open. Other than that not a bad ride. 

81.4 my high.

A windy day today with numerous gusts in the 30s. With leaves on the trees it makes that wind even more pronounced.

If you think Florida’s insurance crisis is bad now just wait for what happens after a major hurricane hits a major population center.

The problem is so many people live in coastal areas in Florida. Take that increase in population and the increase cost of inflation and it is no wonder insurance costs have increased dramatically in Florida.

Looks like once the westerly wind kicked up this evening, you guys rocketed up.  Parts of eastern NJ are still in the low 80s at this hour, in early May.

Still 77 here with nice breeze, first evening that actually feels like summer.

My temperature has risen to 78.5

75 here, nice afternoon.

Heavy rain lightning and thunder here. One lightning flash was very close.

One above normal month (May projected) after another against the highest set of 30 year "normals" we have.  You would have to be a high roller to bet against an above normal Summer at this point.  Might not be outrageous heat but 2-3 above normal for JJA would not surprise me in the least.  Mainly from slightly above normal highs and very warm overnight lows.   We'll see.

Good bet with the overnight lows. As the city and immediate surrounding area continues to build more and more big skyscrapers, the heat Island at night will probably get even warmer.

79.6 my high

My average high so far this month is below 70. Meanwhile Central Prk has hit 87 and Newark 90, two different worlds.

My high today only 63, now 52. 

85 the high here.

Low 30s here, light frost.

61 my high. Now down to 49 with the chilly sea breeze.

Mid 30s here and already well into the 50s.

34 degrees for a low here. lots of places freezing or below outside the city.

Got down to the mid 30s here last night. Now 40.
