Community enjoys unseasonably warm weather

Temperatures soared into the 80s Tuesday, bringing a summer-like feel to Coney Island, despite it being late October.

Locals and tourists flocked to the boardwalk to soak up the sun, with some even taking a dip in the chilly Atlantic waters.

The average temperature for this time of year typically hovers around 62 degrees, but the unseasonably warm weather has caught many by surprise.

The city is also on track to have the driest October in nearly a century, with 23 consecutive days without measurable rainfall.

Experts warning that the extended warm, dry conditions could have a lasting impact on the environment.
