it's been hotter this year

Temperatures the last few days have certainly been summery...finally. Even with highs well up in the 80s Tuesday (Burlington 86, Montpelier 84, and St J at 83), the high heat of late April still stands as hottest this year. On April 27th Burlington reached 89 and Montpelier 86. On the 28th St J hit 88.
Of interest about that heat, is the fact that less than a week before high temperatures struggled to make it into the 50s!
