BALTIMORE — Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of summer for a lot of people. The air temperature will be in the mid 70s to even low 80s!

Here is a look at the numbers as of May 24th.

You can certainly swim in that, but it is on the chilly side! Be sure to take plenty of precautions. It takes a lot more energy to warm up the water vs the air. There is a lag effect meaning that the water will stay warmer after the air gets cooler later this fall.
We get our measurements from buoys out on the water!
