Thank you! 100% agree with every word penned right here...
Just for fun, and to prove my total ignorance, here are my guesses for highest recorded temps as we experience the wave:
THV: 99
MDT: 96
LNS: 97
Had a few raindrops on our walk this afternoon...totally unexpected.
Looks like July weather is coming this week. Not what I want but certainly nothing all that unusual.
Tolerable is a good word...I "tolerated" it all afternoon long while I was picking sugar peas and other goodies from my garden...and muttering the entire time.
Personally I thought today was far more uncomfortable than I thought it was going to be. Oh well...it's time for the summer weenies to have their time of happiness.
Just picked up .4" from a cell.
I was telling my wife on our walk this morning that this is the kind of day where some areas might not see much of anything today while a few spots might pick up a few inches.
It was windy here...I work part time for Lancaster's minor league baseball team. Yesterday, we had vendors with tables set up with information on their business products and they were getting frustrated because all of their literature was flying around the ballpark. I heard many fans telling each other and or me how refreshing it was to be out yesterday. I myself thought it was beautiful...and I despise hot weather.
Official high for Lancaster was 86. With the wind and lower dews it felt pretty good over this way.
The issue with temperature busts isn't new, and it happens year-round on both high and low forecasts. One thing I noticed specifically for today was it was 76 with full sun at 7:45am. Even with NW flow you had to think it was going to get pretty toasty with pretty much full sun on the last day of June.
Why it happens so much is probably a complicated answer.
I celebrated my last full day at OBX by telling people on the beach that the hours of daylight were starting to get shorter.
For the record, I hit 91.8 yesterday. No idea what it is at home right now...wife says it's hot.
