I like a combo of cool and warm weather too, as long as it's sunny on most days.  Rain once a week or once every 10 days.  I can do without mist and fog though, that's pretty much useless.

 

Yep I love variety with weather. I love a winter with plenty of warm days but also some big snowstorms.

Still hanging on to 89 degrees here, but I know it won't last much longer. Should have a pretty good drop here around 5pm. 

I enjoy a few torch days this time of year, but I wouldn't want it consistently hot this early. May is the big lettuce month, and obviously the lettuce crop wouldn't be as good if it was hot all the time. I can wait until June for the consistent hot weather. I'm glad we're going back to more normal highs in the 60s and 70s after today.

86 here as well.  More clouds than sun now.

My postage stamp mercury special, in the shade, at 3:30 and under partly sunny skies is running cooler than Central Park. As always…

People at the beach on the last day of April said:

This was on ABC7 news just now.

I didn't realize all these people were at the beach

I guess you can go to the beach even though there are no lifeguards there

people are just sitting and reading under umbrellas at the beach or just walking along the sand

Gives an updated meaning to the ‘ignorance is bliss’ axiom. As always ….

Yes it is, but it does seem to explain the main reason why the public doesn't seem to care that much about a warmer climate, they probably like the idea of a warmer climate.  It hits differently if you talk about higher asthma rates, lung damage, heart attacks and other health conditions stemming from emissions and the pollution they create.

Lots of hail in New city

No it will just be more like Florida.

It's going to happen.

temps in the 40s are just too cold.

 

That would still kill off our aquatic life here as it is outside their tolerance levels. Our fish are not tropical. Besides don't you like winter? Regardless yes, it will happen, but hopefully not in my lifetime. Once atmospheric CO2 levels reach 750ppm acidification will prevent corals from building reefs and shellfish won't be able to make shells (so dead).

It looks like a cooldown for the rest of the week with temps mostly in the mid to upper 60's thru next Monday with a couple of low to mid 70's days thrown in as well. Still very nice for this time of year.

Only had to turn it on for a couple of hours this afternoon. Just open windows now as the breeze hits.

I was just in Long Beach, it was a mob scene this afternoon. And you can walk on the beach even with no lifeguards.

I can remember the big beach crowds before the season began. It gets really packed once the train crowds arrive from NYC. Gino’s is a goldmine with a line out the door as many people stop there first. It was my favorite pizza on Long Island. Now near New Haven it’s a pizza lovers paradise. Just had Modern pizza from New Haven over the weekend and it’s one of the best pizzas that I ever had.

Huge lines today in the middle of town, Gino’s etc. Didn’t get a chance to stop at Gino’s, should have. That’s never a bad call.

Thunderstorms are moving across parts of the region this evening. A few locations could experience strong wind gusts and hail.

In the wake of today's early-season heat, readings will trend closer to normal levels for tomorrow. May should see the first week wind up somewhat warmer than normal.

The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was 0.0°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was +0.8°C for the week centered around April 24. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged -0.23°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged +0.98°C. The ongoing basinwide El Niño event is fading. Neutral conditions could develop later in the spring.

The SOI was -2.31 today.

The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was -0.532 today.

Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied near 100% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal April (1991-2020 normal). April will likely finish with a mean temperature near 55.8° (2.1° above normal).

Severe T storm warning? What the hell?
