Say hello to June and the start of Meteorological Summer, Hudson Valley!
While Summer starts when the Summer Solstice occurs (which is Sunday, June 21st at 4:24 a.m.), for better record and data keeping, meteorologists use full months for the seasons. Meteorological Summer starts June 1st and goes until the end of August, on the 31st. The new month brings us warmer days this week, with temperatures climbing from the 70s to 80s. Thankfully though, the humidity won't rise along the way to unbearable levels. You will notice it by Friday, and may have to turn the A/C on.
There is a small shower chance later this afternoon. It is isolated, so not everyone will see the raindrops come down. But it is not a bad idea to keep the umbrella on standby or at least a ball cap. Along with those accessories, a long sleeve shirt is probably best as temperatures will trend towards the upper 60s to low 70s.
The rest of the week will be trending dry as the temperatures slowly warm up. Records will not likely break, but temperatures will trend about 10-15 degrees above average. There is a chance some spots hit the low 90s by Friday and Saturday. There will be some nice beach/pool weather on the way to start the first weekend of the new month. There will be some cooler temperatures, with an increase in rain chances for Sunday, however.
