NYC SOAKED! APE NEWS WARNS OF WET DAYS AHEAD!

Soggy Bananas in the Big Apple – A Jape News Weather Report

By H.R. Rambe, Jape News Weather Correspondent

Good morning, fellow primates! H.R. Rambe here, bringing you the latest from Ape News on this… damp day in New York City.

Let me tell you, it’s a proper soaking out there. As of this morning, the temperature sits at a chilly 57 degrees Fahrenheit, but feels more like 52 with the wind. And is it windy! Coming in from the East at a brisk 18 miles per hour, it’s whipping the rain around like a troop of excited chimps. Visibility is down to a mere 4 miles, so keep those peepers peeled!

The humidity? A whopping 100%! You could practically swim in the air. Honestly, it’s enough to make a gorilla long for a dry banana.

Now, the forecast for today isn’t exactly sunshine and rainbows. We’re expecting this heavy rain to continue throughout the day, with a high of only 62 degrees. Tonight, more of the same – rain and a low of 52.

But don’t despair, my friends! The weekend is looking brighter. Friday will bring partly cloudy skies and a high of 57. Saturday? Mostly clear, with a high of 60! And Sunday? Well, Sunday promises partly cloudy skies and a high of 61. We might even see some sunshine!

A quick note on other conditions: The air quality is good – a pleasing 13 on the index – but be warned, the allergy risk is high for the next three days. Ragweed pollen is currently low, but other irritants are abundant.

And finally, a word about Hurricane Melissa. She's a Category 2 storm currently moving North-Northeast. We’re not expecting a direct hit here in New York, but it's something to keep an eye on.

So, grab your umbrellas, your raincoats, and maybe an extra banana for comfort. Stay dry, fellow apes, and remember to tune into Ape News for all your weather updates!
