Good morning on this ominous Friday. The skies in this (unofficial) last weekend of summer are looking temperamental. Expect a dazzling day today, with a high near 81. But the effects of Hurricane Hermine, in Florida now, could bring heavy rain and strong winds later in the weekend, according to the National Weather Service.
The silver lining: This might be just the medicine we need. New York is thirsty. We’re in the midst of a statewide drought.
We’ve had a hotter and drier summer than normal, said Carlie Buccola, a Weather Service meteorologist. Summer in the city averages roughly 74 degrees, Ms. Buccola told us, but this year, we clocked in near 77. And we normally get almost 13.5 inches of rain, but this summer, we got just under 12.
