Look on the bright side.  We are only about 30 days away from the latest sunset and then we will SLOWLY start going the other way.  The hole is almost dug and we will soon starting filling it in.

Not allergic to anything plant wise so i never have allergies.  But this is the first spring that nothing was coated in green pollen from all the trees.

That's the big heavy pollen which isn't nearly as troublesome as the microscopic pollen that gets into nasal cavities.

Ur fukt up

 

It's 90 here. My dumbass mowed the lawn. It looks pretty good

It’s a tad warm in full sun, but low humidity and a nice breeze.

I’m installing a new stone walkway; getting a good sweat but it’s far from oppressive. 

Quick check on the weather, while cracking the first Yuengling of the day. Enjoy all!

Rob within a few minutes of the beginning if my power walk I feel the pollen in my throat. Then clearing the throat and guarded choking begins. It eases as the warm season progresses. Presently it’s 89 in my slice of urban paradise.  The park, 8 miles to my north, is a NWS reported 84, as always …..

Yeah, this is peak tree pollen time, it will start to drop off soon but not soon enough for those of us who feel the symptoms. 89/55 here now with a breeze which on the one hand feels good but on the other is making the pollen worse.

The temperature surged into the upper 80s to around 90° in the region. Boston also reached 90° today.

Tomorrow will be a bit cooler than today. However, temperatures will then rocket into the 90s for Tuesday and Wednesday. Tuesday and Wednesday coincide with 1962 and 1996 outbreaks of extreme heat in the Northeast during which May monthly records were set in many locations. Nevertheless, parts of the region could still approach or reach record values on Tuesday and Wednesday.

In addition, 2026 will become Central Park's second year on record that saw a monthly maximum temperature of 80° or above in March, and 90° or above in both April and May. Currently, 1977 with a March high of 81°, April high of 90°, and May high of 92° is the only such year. 2026 has seen a March high of 81° and April high of 90°.

Thursday will see temperatures top out in the lower 70s. Afterward, it will turn much cooler with highs only in the 60s on Friday and Saturday.

The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +1.6°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was +0.9°C for the week centered around May 6. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +1.50°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged +0.55°C. El Niño conditions are rapidly developing and will likely be in place in the next few weeks.

The SOI was -27.48 today. 

The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was +1.368 today. 

Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied near 60% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal May (1991-2020 normal). May will likely finish with a mean temperature near 63.7° (0.5° above normal). 

Supplemental Information: The projected mean would be 1.2° above the 1981-2010 normal monthly value.
