Fire Island (FI) and NYC Weather

🌤️ Weather Forecast – April 16, 2026 (Noon)

📍 NYC & Fire Island

Yesterday, Central Park hit 90° for the first time this season. Today, summer-like conditions will continue again—except along the immediate coast, where it will be much cooler.

For the rest of the week, very warm to hot conditions will continue across the East Coast and persist through Friday. Even NYC may top 90° if there is enough sunshine, though it could stay a bit cooler if clouds linger.

However, it will remain much cooler along the south-facing beaches like Fire Island due to persistent onshore flow. Fire Island may even see periods of fog as warm air moves over the still-cold ocean, though temperatures there will still reach near 70°.

Areas farther south, including Virginia and the Carolinas, are likely to surge well into the 90s as this historic early-season heat wave continues.

Cooler weather will begin to move in on Saturday, but overall, temperatures are expected to remain above normal for the rest of April. True spring-like weather returns next Monday as a chilly air mass moves in for a couple of days, then shifts back to a more seasonal pattern.
