APRIL
April will see warmer-than-average temperatures. That won't be the case everywhere. The Southeast and much of the Midwest will be near average. The average daytime temperature in New York in mid-April will be in the 60s.
We may not have to wait until next month to enjoy some mild weather.
While most of this week looks to bring temperatures in the 40s and 50s, we could see a high temperature reach 60 by Sunday, according to The National Weather Service.
MAY
The above-average temperatures are forecast to continue across portions of the Northeast, including New York and New England. However, areas a bit farther south can anticipate near-average or slightly warmer than average conditions come May.
Average daytime temperatures in New York in mid-May are in the 70s.
The May temperature outlook may be cooler than currently indicated due to above-average soil moisture in the Northeast, and if El Niño conditions persist, The Weather Channel says.
JUNE
The start to the meteorological summer is June 1, and initial predictions indicate we're in for near-average or slightly warmer temperatures in the Northeast. Average daytime local temperatures in June are in the low to mid 80s.
Heading into the summer, Weather Channel meteorologists say "climate model solutions are indicating warmer-than-normal summers in the Pacific Northwest and Northeast, with best chances for below-normal temperatures across the Plains."
