🌤️ Weather Forecast – June 8, 2026 (Noon Update)
📍 NYC & Fire Island
Today will be a top ten day with nearly perfect weather—temperatures in the 70s, plenty of sunshine, and low humidity. Tomorrow will be much the same, but a bit warmer.
A summer-like weather pattern is expected to develop by the middle and end of next week, bringing a daily chance of late-afternoon and evening showers or thunderstorms across much of the region. However, the chances for Fire Island remain relatively low because of the moderating influence of the ocean. It now appears that this summer-like pattern will continue into the following week. The days of cool spring weather are over.
Overall, we remain in a relatively dry weather pattern, so be sure to water your gardens.

Sayville Ferry

Cherry Grove Pizza
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.
