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.)

NBM not backing down at BDL tomorrow...13z run still throwing up 95

NAM seems to be delaying the front by 3 or so hours over priors...that might make the difference for HFD-LWM axis/E

It’s possible this is the hottest day of the summer .. especially with a raging hard Nino knowin for high dews but not high heat 

Problem with that idea is that the NINO is not a raging hard one yet.  It's formulating... 

Now ...maybe that's enough?  I don't know. But having the NINO in place, already registering an influence in the atmosphere, which this isn't ...yet, is a different animal.

It’s raging and hard.. it’s iron clad

I have to agree with this. Perhaps there is some sort of relationship with how EL Nino's evolve during the summer and what we experience during the summer in terms of big heat or not, but strong(er) EL Nino events don't really become mature until we're in the dead of summer or even back half of summer. If anything, I would think the correlation would start showing as we moved into Fall
