30 here this morning.

People forget that spring sucks here. Always has and always will. Anything before Memorial Day is a crap shoot. We’ve had shitty Junes before where we couldn’t hit 80.

Even July 4 weekends. I remember a few years ago it rained that whole weekend and didn’t get out of the 50s. Usually Memorial Day is around when we stop getting hit with the nasty backdoor fronts.

34 in lynbrook so avoided a freeze. KFOK 22 which is ridiculous for late April.

Stations around my neighborhood ended up in the upper 20s mostly.

We've actually lucked out somewhat-a fair amount of sunny days (Even if chilly) this spring and last week was a bonus.

31 F even here.
Open water outside were all frozen.

I wonder where all those bees and wasps that were out last week went  ?

This was a record breaking April temperature drop spanning around 5 days. These charts are just for hourly reports and miss highs or lows recorded between hours. Spots that radiate well dropped more than 60°.

This comes after we broke the one-day record for biggest temperature drop last month. Yep, this isn't normal. I've seen temperature swings, but not this many in such short order like we have this spring. I hope this doesn't continue. I'll even take consistent 50 or 60 degree days over this. No one wants 100-degree heat to be followed by 50-degree temps in such short order in June or July.

I tend to doubt there will be 100 degree days in July followed by 50's - the thing to be really concerned about this summer with a lack of tropical activity and El Nino is drought conditions becoming severe along the east coast

We are already headed there.  Hasn't really rained much last month and we had a fairly dry winter despite the robust snow.    Saturday's event could miss SW as well

Deep nap.  They are out there flying around once the sun is out.
