I think one day so far it's cracked above 70 on the barrier islands. Huge disparity when the waters are still in the mid 50s and barely any westerly component on the winds. There haven't been crazy Ambrose Jets so up here it's gotten close to 90 but by 5-6pm it cools down quite a bit. 

Water is 48 in Seaside Park based on my Garmin watch and a little aquarium thermometer I stuck to my surfboard. Still in a 4mm wetsuit plus boots and gloves.

I went for a quick dip no wetsuit after going for a run on the beach Sunday. With the light onshore flow and full sun nearshore water temp was def mid to upper 50s. Water was carribean turquoise at west end 2.

Brutal out.  Breeze not as strong at work.  Our track workers taking measurements at 10am showed 126 on the trackbed surface before they did maintenance.  Can't imagine how much worse it got as day progressed. 

Currently 96 at home in little ferry.

Today was the hottest day so far this year. High temperatures included:

Albany: 91° (tied record set in 1903, and tied in 1962, 1986, 1989)
Boston: 96° (old record: 90°, 1949, 1986, 2017)
Manchester, NH: 97° (old record: 89°, 1949) ***tied May monthly record***
New York City-Central Park: 93°
New York City-LaGuardia Airport: 96°
Newark: 99°, 1962 ***tied May monthly record***
Philadelphia: 98° (old record: 96°, 1962) ***New May monthly record***

Providence: 92° (old record: 91°, 2017)
Westfield: 96° (old record: 90°, 2017)

2026 became only 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. 

Tomorrow will be another hot day. Records could again be challenged or broken in places.

Albany: 91°, 1962
Allentown: 92°, 1962, 1996
Atlantic City: 96°, 1996
Baltimore: 95°, 1962
Boston: 91°, 1996
Bridgeport: 97°, 1996
Hartford: 99°, 1996
Islip: 98°, 1996
New York City-Central Park: 96°, 1996
New York City-JFK Airport: 95°, 1996
New York City-LaGuardia Airport: 97°, 1996

Thursday will see temperatures top out in the lower 70s. Afterward, it will turn much cooler with highs only in the 60s on Friday through the weekend. Saturday could be rainy and particularly chilly.

The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +1.8°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was +0.9°C for the week centered around May 13. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +1.63°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged +0.70°C. El Niño conditions are now in place. The ongoing El Niño will continue to strenthen through the summer.

The SOI was -6.11 today. 

The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was +0.086 today. 

Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied near 59% 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.

If it’ll be raw and nasty, might as well get the benefit of a good soaking. Hopefully it edges NE in the next day or two. 

Didn't think it was going to be 2+" of rain. Was thinking 1" and just crappy most of the weekend.
