🌤️ Weather Forecast – June 1, 2026 (11:30 AM Update)
📍 NYC & Fire Island
Today through Saturday looks excellent, with a warming trend developing across the region. Away from the beaches, temperatures in NYC could exceed 90°F by next Saturday.
Next weekend is currently looking mainly dry and pleasant, although Sunday’s forecast will depend on the strength of a high-pressure system developing to our northeast. If the high becomes stronger, it should keep any rain well west of our area. If it is weaker, a few showers could move in on Sunday. Regardless, temperatures will be much cooler on Sunday compared to Saturday, especially along the coast.
Since hurricane season has begun, I’ve included the National Hurricane Center Tropical Weather Outlook link below. At this time, the potential development of El Niño later this year could help reduce overall Atlantic hurricane activity if it materializes as forecast.

The Sayville Ferry began the Fire Island run in 1894. For over one hundred years, Fire Island - with its wide ocean beaches, natural forests, wetlands and lively downtowns - has been an attraction for people from all over the world. Fire Island's central communities of Cherry Grove, Fire Island Pines, Water Island and Sailors Haven/Sunken Forest, a Fire Island National Seashore Park, are served by the Sayville Ferry, which is located on River Road in the South Shore hamlet of Sayville. Once on the island, the only means of transport is a hand-pulled wagon and the only rubber you burn is the soles of your shoes.
