89.4 (89) for me. Only had 2 90F days to date.

89/78 w/HI of 103

I’m 82/77 w/HI of 90.

From OKX discussion: Timing of onset of convection looks to be late morning into early afternoon for the Lower Hudson Valley, during the early afternoon for much of the remainder of the area, with perhaps Eastern Long Island and Southeast Connecticut not getting the onset of convection until closer to mid afternoon (about 3PM local time). The convection looks to end by mid evening, about 10 PM for Lower Hudson Valley, Northeast NJ, and NYC and closer to midnight to 1AM farther east. Dry weather returns thereafter into early Sunday as the cold front moves farther south of Long Island.

Not sure this was posted:

One of the few days I probably will. Those winds when they pick up a tad knock the temp down only to rebound and repeat the cycle. I seem to go up to 89 and down to 88 as winds gust to 8 mph. At my parent’s house, Muttontown, it hit 90.1 so far. Definitely need to set up the new VP2 I have for here as the fan in the FARS is making noise plus my anemometer is shot.

89.8 (90) so far in Syosset.

81.7 currently, topped out at 87.5 (88) earlier. DP is a nice sticky 70 with a HI of 86.

If winds go East, as forecasted, coastal locations won’t exceed. We’ll see when the wind shift occurs.

Just imagine if a hurricane hit the island. Amazing how long it takes utility crews to get a localized area back up and running after a tstorm. Question whether anything was learned from Sandy.

NYS use to be 180 days, but they could apply superintendent days to it too as I recall. They changed it I think a year or so ago, after so many snow days one year & not enough make-up days in the school calendar, so that hours are now used instead of days. That's just ridiculous and a total waste of everyone's time all around. They should have extended two days 30 minutes instead IMO.

I’ll start keeping an eye out for them nightly now. My 3 year son and I looked last night but didn’t see any yet in Syosset, so I told him I’d ask on here. Hopefully they appear this week in my own backyard.

Anybody have any lightning bug (firefly) sightings yet? Figure after next week they should start appearing since it’ll be warmer and dryer. Just curious if anyone has seen any yet regardless.
