July 2025 Obs/Disco ... possible historic month for heat
WinterSnow replied to Typhoon Tip's topic in New England
I see storms beginning to form in NW CT. Oops, may have waited a little too late to get out and get things done. -
94F / 82 Dew point. Yikes. My A/C is holding up so far, though, so all good.
-
I'm always counting down to the Winter Solstice. Glad we start losing daylight after today. It will be hot AF for a few days, but we can deal.
-
So, wow. That wasn't a lot. Just one small cell came through a couple of hours ago. Someone on social media reported that it hailed here but I didn't see it.

I looked her up and found a GYN that specializes in menopause. Now come on, I'm not that old yet! And then I realized you might be referring to slang instead and I looked that up and... uh. No thanks. I can't stand the smell of that stuff!
-
I was born and raised in this kind of weather. I'll be fine! (Just kidding. It was only like 72 degrees outside and once the sun came out I was suffering. I know you all like to make fun of me, but I think the low heat tolerance is probably medication related, and yes, I'm talking to my doctor about getting off of said medication).
-
Looks pretty! I hope to get to visit someday!

I came from the South. And it wasn't even Florida. And even there I was indeed very sick of the relentless heat and humidity. Where I came from, mid 80s in the summer is considered a cool day. And if you have a single cloud cover the sun for even five seconds it's a major relief. I cannot even fathom Florida. It sounds like Hell to me. Anyway, I cannot understand this whining about a couple of cloudy, cool days a week.
-
I saw this and panicked a little, as a lot of my family is in Oklahoma still but thankfully not the SW part of the state. I still follow a meteorologist from the state on FB and yesterday he posted the worst stuff should be to the south so this tracks. Looks like the tornado warning in the NW corner of the TX panhandle is an active tornado. Seeing lots of active tornadoes in these storms this year.
-
I think you ended up doing just that. I don't think even a drop of rain fell in Bristol. I don't want bad severe weather with tornadoes, but a small thunderstorm and some rain would have been pleasant. It just all just went around me.
-
84 degrees (one reading says 86, I can believe it) and nasty outside. Can confirm, I just walked in it. Hopefully the storms don't fire up too strong.
-
I know, it's really not that far. CT's such a tiny state and all. But I do not currently have a car, so I'd have to rely on public transit to do it and it would take like 4+ hours to get to the shore by bus. It's insane out there in some areas. When I took a walk yesterday I saw it was accumulating in the grass, it's crazy! I'm so grateful I'm not allergic to it or I'd be having a very rough time right now.
-
I agree! I temporarily lived closer to the coast late last summer and got to visit a lot. Would have chosen to permanently live there, but I wanted a little more snow so I ended up settling a little further north. Possibly no beach visits for me this summer. Sad.
-
Hey now, I relocated to here a year ago. I have experienced a CT summer already. I know that it can and does get into the 90s, I just got the impression from last year that it wasn't something that happens a lot in a given summer like it does where I came from (and last summer was above normal, apparently?), so already being hit with this at the beginning of June is yucky. Just hope my A/C can keep up with it. I can't afford to get a window unit for my bedroom right now.
-
The only good news. The weather's so amazing right now it's darn depressing that it could be months before it happens again, but I remember seeing a couple of overcast days with highs in the 60s last summer, so... Hey, that's one reason I moved here. Those projected mid-week temperatures are a big yikes. Feel like I've gone back to the south.
-
In my house, any husband who didn't call yesterday like he promised would be sent packing. I don't mess around with not having air conditioning.
-
I do! I had to do quite a bit of walking today and the weather is just perfect for that. No sweating, no sun in my eyes. Also, it feels amazing in my apartment and I'll be sleeping under covers tonight (as I have been the past couple of nights). All of that makes me happy. Not looking forward to the walking I'll have to do when it gets warm/hot. This weather happening in late May is a blessing to me.
-
50 degrees and overcast. It was perfect weather for my walks today. Tomorrow won't be so great for that due to the rain, but I appreciate it staying cooler! And keeping us from going back into drought is good, too.
-
A nice day. I don't like it being sunny, but the wind was cool enough to mitigate the heat the sun brought when I went out. It feels great with my windows open! Today is one of those days I am glad to have moved away from Oklahoma. Hopefully they won't have any damaging tornadoes like what happened in KS and KY.
-
That must be quite weird to dislike winter but want snow. Most people who dislike winter can just move down somewhere that is milder, but if you like snow you have to be somewhere with winter to get snow. The idea of disliking winter but liking snow is so weird to me. I guess we're all different. As for me, I love winter, snow or not.
-
Well, I don't want to say where in Bristol I live... Even revealing the city or even county I live in is not something I do much of anywhere else online, but I think I live in a decent area. My apartments aren't luxury apartments or anything, but I'm happy.
-
Heavy rains today. Don't know how much because I own no outdoor space at my apartment to put a rain gauge. Either way, loved the temps and it being overcast. Got my windows open again and it feels soooo good. My favorite kinda weather (aside from the pouring rain, but we need it to further fend off the drought). I get to sleep comfortably under my covers because of this amazing weather!! =D
-
Oh, yeah... The bugs. I hate bugs!! They freak me out! I've already encountered so many while going out for walks. Including bees and wasps flying right near my face. The sheer peace of winter and not having them around. I miss it. Frogs are cool, though. I saw some around last summer.
-
It will feel like we're in Florida with that heat and humidity? God, I felt so blessed by the past couple of days. My windows open, letting that naturally cool air in. I don't want it to go away.
-
I got out early because I thought it was going to rain, but so far dry in CT. It looked like something was coming this way but then it went north.
