70.7° overcast
Looks like there’s some convection in N NH and N VT that’s trying to drop SE. it probably won’t make it down here, but I wonder if that messes up the heating during the morning.
MOS is still kinda meh for the next 2 days in the hot spots. I keep waiting for them to bump up, but not yet. I still say the numbers are a bit low.

Looking at everyone’s records...this last week of July is pretty weak for record highs. There’s a lot of 95-97s in the torch spots with a few a degree or two higher depending on the site. Today’s 95° for BDL is the lowest record high for July. So the next 3 days should be a lot of records evenif we “only” manage mid to upper 90s.
Tried that. They’re terrified of it. We just water it down from time to time and they dig holes and lay in them to cool off. I doubled my covered portion of my run last fall and the bamboo has gone wild so there’s a lot more shade in there than previous years. Even that one 90+ day we had there wasn’t a lot of panting. 2018 was a stressful stretch...especially with the heat and dew combo around the 4th.
Almost totally clear now. 83.2/66
Mine handle below 0° better than 90°. When they start panting out of control there isn’t a lot we can do unless we bring the worst ones into the basement.
