Why has it been so cold in the Northeast?? It was warm for a while, like back in March, and now it is cold again (like 60's and 70s). it is June it should be much warmer than this for this time of year.
Will it ever get warm again?? Why is the weather like this? I thought "global warming" was supposed to be raising the normal highs....temps are below normal!

The problem with the entire "global warming" concept is that it's net Earth warming- in fact, it can be a lot cooler in one place and warmer in another, and it averages out to be above average temperature.
Weather and climate are funny things... they can change at moment's notice. Currently, it's cooler up north because of the position of the subtropical jet stream. This has dropped south, giving us milder, cooler air that is circulating from Canada and other areas. Normally, the subtropical jet is further north then it is right now, giving us warmer temperatures as we recieve air from the Gulf of Mexico.
So, it's milder because of the prevailing wind patterns. Give it a couple of days, and it'll get warmer.
Quite frankly, though, I prefer weather in the 60s and 70s. It's just about perfect.

The weather pattern overall has been cooler than normal in the Northeast this Spring...and wetter too.
Long range outlooks show much warmer temperatures later this month.
Global warming doesn't affect temperatures in one season that quickly. It's a crock.
Don't even start thinking about El Nino or La Nina either. From what I heard, it's in between, or neutral, right now.

Wait until early next week when it is likely to be in the 80's - maybe above 90 - and you'll see it is all part of the variability of weather - cold & warm spells. Saturday was indeed quite cool for a day which was not overcast this time of year.

It's because there is a low pressure front circling all around us. The warm pressure front is being pued into the west now since there is a Tropical Storm in Florida. The warm front will come later.
