It will swing wildly until we reach a new normal. A normal many of us won't like very much. 86F at our local airport this afternoon in the Upper Valley of the Connecticut River That would be toasty for us in the dog days of summer. In mid May that's a little much. High 60's, low 70's is normal this time of year but who's to say what's going to be normal going forward.
