April 28, 2009 hit 89, tops for that year.
In 28 years, we've had two months tying on 3 occasions and in 2010 the warmest (88°) was reached 5 times - May, July(2), August and September, hence the fractions below:
APR:    1
MAY:   3.2
JUN:   10
JUL:    9.4
AUG:   3.7
SEP:    0.7
Hottest here of 93 occurred on July 3 and September 9, 2002.

Low of 44, now approaching 80, but clouds have dimmed the sun.  We've gone from 5% leaf-out on Friday to 50% now and climbing; might be the quickest leaf-out I've seen.

Yeah, 1976 was the year when the highest temp was hit in April, during the Easter heatwave, for many spots in New England, and as far south as Philly. Things turned cold very early that season, with October 1976-January 1977 being the coldest October-January on record. (The spring that followed was one of the warmest on record, despite a snow event on May 9-10.)
