40.2 in Muttontown & 43.0 in Syosset this morning. 

The temp really shot up though we're already in the mid 60s in many places

Central Park had a low of 50 this morning...record was 46...

5/31

46 in 1938

46 in 1930

46 in 1924

Lows this morning were not too far from record cold levels for the final day of May. The lowest was the 38-degree reading at Warwick Township. During our last 37 days we have seen 26 of those days with below normal temperatures here in East Nantmeal. This pattern looks to it will continue through mid-week before we finally see temperatures warming to above normal by the end of the work week. Unfortunately there is no rain in site.

Happy Met Summer. 92 days until Met Fall. Winter won't be far behind

Slightly below here, so 3 out of 5 this year below so far. And yes, I get it, 30 year norms have changed so back when Uncle was 5 the month would have been +2.76.

Haha. You don't have to go that far back. I think Uncle was already a senior citizen in the late 90s or early 2000s lol

Wait unil we get the new normals 2001-2030. We are going to lose our last decade that still had a couple below normal years and replace it with the 2020s inferno.

One day our below normal temp winters would have warmed so much that they will still yield shittty snowfall results.

Not that a good year still won't happen. I wrote that part for the people who don't understand statistics.

I don't like the 30 year periods for specific locations. Just use the whole record. If everything is plus, so be it.

updated my May decade records for NYC...have to update the long-term averages to make it from 1870 to 2026......

Today will be the 11th of the last 13 days with below normal temperatures. Sunny and dry through Saturday. We should finally see some warmer than average temperatures by the end of the week and into the weekend. Rain chances look to increase by Sunday.

Below is the May 2026 Chester County Climate Summary. We finished May with an average temperature of 60.8 degrees across all stations. This was 0.7 degrees below the 1991-2020 average May temperature of 61.5 degrees. This was the 56th coldest May in 134 years of records back to 1893.

Of note here in the philly burbs of Chester County PA Spring of 2026 was the 14th warmest Spring since 1893 - conversely Winter 2025-26 was our 14th coldest! Our weather does have a way of balancing out! Below is our Spring Temperature trends since 1893....only some slight warming is shown.

Tomorrow seems like a good day for wall to wall sunshine.

Monday could feature something tough to do around here in June. Breezy (possibly windy), full sun, and below normal temperatures.

June 1972 had a few days like that...

I remember in July 1979 on the 5th NYC had a max of 69 and min of 53 with sunny skies...this is the only time I saw a July day that didn't get out of the 60's with no cloud cover...it was a sunny breezy day...on June 11th 1972 NYC had a max of 69 and min of 46 with sunny skies and breezy conditions...July 9th 1963 NYC had a min of 54...I remember that morning being a breezy day with leaves blowing in the wind...It was a dry period and many tree leaves were on the ground as if it was the fall...The worst July 4th I lived through was in 1978...it rained all day and the max was 62...low 50's in the Poconos...Aug 14th 1964 had a min of 54 with strong winds...I remember playing stickball and hitting a shot that was my longest hit with the wind...At the time in Yankee Stadium Mickey Mantle hit a high drive to Center that was caught up in that wind and ended up going 502ft...He thought it was a pop up when he left the batter's box...It was so high in the air that the center fielder had time to run to the 461ft sign and with his back to the wall looking up...Mantle joked he was trying to hit it out of the stadium because the wind was blowing so hard...That was Mel Stottelmyre's first start as a Yankee...I think they won 7-4...
