Читать книгу Paddling Long Island and New York City - Kevin Stiegelmaier - Страница 27

Long Island’s weather is quite pleasant during these seasons, again because of the moderating effect of the Atlantic Ocean, Long Island Sound, and Great South Bay. Because these waters warm slowly during the spring, they cool the air considerably, keeping the island’s temperatures in the 60s until mid-May. Conversely, these bodies of water retain their summer heat and help warm the land near them. Thus, Long Island can see temperatures hovering in the 70s throughout much of September and October.
