I really don't know where they're getting this from. Here in NYC we had a handful of almost 90 degrees days, and besides that it has not been anywhere near average. I call BS on this graph.

The map shows the Avg temp Anomaly for the month. Its true. NYC is +4.7° above normal. Thats 6th warmest May on record.
NYC has had a bunch of 80s and 2 90s.
Also look at the lows. Clouds kept nights well above normal helping the anomaly but all those 80s are well above normal.
Dots = the normal min-max for the day
Only 7 days in the 60s and probably 2 which was sunny and 60s. Lol

What are you talking about? I live here in NYC, and I can attest that the first week of this month was insanely anomalous at about 15 degrees above the historical average, followed by a couple weeks of near-average weather and then the last week was obscenely hot too (~8 F above average).
So, the map makes complete sense, you're just totally unaware of the historical averages for this time of year.

Couple of clarifications:
- I work in Manhattan, but live on LI. I can tell you that LI has definitely felt cooler.
- The problem I think are the extremes: it has been either REALLY hot or REALLY cold.
- I can't argue with the numbers (the graph), but I feel it has been torching hot or freezing cold except a few days in between.
In my humble New York opinion, April SUCKED and May isn't that much better .
Quick update: 3rd morning in a row with clouds again. Crazy how these fronts are stalling. Was hoping we didn't get another crappy May again.
and then the clouds left and it went to humid and high temperatures fast; seemed like it started like Monday. Clouds hung around so long I thought it'd hard for it get hot. Tuesday vs Monday
