Another oddity this May was the monthly high and low temperature relationship between BTV and EWR. BTV doesn’t usually beat Newark by 9 degrees for a May monthly high  temperature. The monthly minimum temperature is also not usually within 2 degrees at both stations.

Up to 80 Thu for third straight day.  Clouds in the way of first 90s  Thu-Sat.   First 70 degree dewpoint this year today.

Cooler dryer air in time to open June.  Then a moderating back to normal 6/4 - 6/6.  Beyond there we'll see if we get the ridge to build in a more favorable spot for the seasons first heat into the region.

ULL and persistent onshore flow last 10 days + with ridge axis too far north and cloud cover the past 2 days curbing the heat here.  Beyond the very anomalous cool coming Sunday  - Tue it looks to be more normal overall with next ridge looking to build around June 7th or 8th on the latest guidance.  Persistent troughs going into the west coast.

Fourth overnight and morning in a row of dense fog and heavy mist. Yesterday never cleared and dried and it barely dried the previous two days before the wet set in again. The surface of everything is wet and soggy, mold is setting in, mushrooms are thick, skeeters and gnats are happy and some of my garden is too but the slugs and snails are out early this year as are other plant eating bugs. Strange things is it's just the surfaces that are wet, 1/2" or less below the surface and it's bone dry.

Warm and muggy. Just wish it wasn’t so cloudy, it’s 75 degrees at 10:40am it looks like it may inch to upper 70’s by the time the afternoon thunderstorms roll in! Typical summer day almost! Just wish it was warmer

Tomorrow's 80s with dewpoints in the 50s should feel nice

It’s interesting that we had the coolest April and May since 2003 with such a warmer December through March.

relative to the normal of the time you have to go as far back as the 1890's to find a year with well above normal temperatures and then have a cool April and May...

Yeah, very unusual to get such a cool April and May following top 5 December through March warmth.
