BOS is already 88F. Went from 83F to 87F in 5 mins.

Legro was determined not to have to estimate another possible CON record. He finally 1-dayed that shit.

Holy shit. https://mesowest.utah.edu/cgi-bin/droman/meso_base_dyn.cgi?stn=KCON&time=GMT

Someone inland will probably do it...especially Sat eve or Sun AM. A few sites did it last year.

They have one. But they'd prefer to be outside.I'd have no birds left without the AC as they'd all die of heat stroke while trying to lay.

scarlet tanager. Did it hit your window?

They seem okay right now. It's usually that 2-4pm period before the western shade creeps in when the panting starts. Tomorrow we worry.

I just put the ACs on. It'll take a little time to bring down the indoor HIX.

86/73 on my Davis....and that's with taking the low dew reading over the last 15 mins.

I'm actually a little insulted you think that that's what I was getting at. I'm comparing the number of recent record highs to the recent record lows. We're still racking off about 5 highs/year just eyeballing that. The lows are more like 1/yr and maybe even less than that since 2010.

Sounds about right, but it may be mostly biased by 12/24-25.

BDL has done the b2b 100s in 1964, 1991, and 2010. 1991 was actually 3 in a row. CON has gone b2b in 1911 and 1977. 1911 was 3 in a row and 4 for the month including a 99 and other mid 90s for good measure.

1911 1919 1944

Yeah MAV is hittin the muthafukkas hard for NH Sunday. MHT 101 ASH 101 PSM 100 DAW 100 Pretty much 100-101 from SW ME into the lower els of SNE.

Anyway, MET numbers are coming down, but dews are going up. I think the same thing happened in that first heat wave last July. 100/70 progs became 97/76. Whatever though. Would you rather be shot in the head or stabbed in the heart?

Sure. I'm just saying with more moisture and higher pwats we're seeing more precipitation. I'm not implying at all that the precip is balancing out any moisture/evaporation increases. Not sure if you were responding to me though. I'm on the GW train.

Well you need heat to melt snow, glaciers, and ice caps. The warming waters and increasing GHGs allow for more evaporation and moisture to be trapped in the troposphere. But we've been wetter too so we precipitate a lot of it out. I haven't followed global humidity and precipitation trends enough though....at least not since I was in school. I'm sure Will and others can comment more on that. It is what it is. We're warming, but the extremists usually need to be ignored. The answer is usually somewhere in the middle.

Sad

Dews. We can't bottom out to set record low mins and we can't heat up enough to break record maxes regularly. If we keep tickling up with the GW I'd presume the record maxes become more common and we start losing the low max ability. Record low mins take a miracle nowadays though...especially for the climo sites with a period of record going back to the mid to late 1800s.

Have they brought up when the vikings lived on Greenland yet?

And some of that is due to the poor farming practices/dust bowl in the early 1900s. We popped some massive central US ridges back then in the summer and it was dry as hell.

Probably because the dews limit the heating potential during the day a bit. We get a lot more 88/75 crap to muck up potential heat waves. If you check the scrolls, we used to pull 90/50 type airmasses back in the days of yore...even in summer. Today, we’re basically just a greenhouse.

Nary a cloud here.

Boundary comes through in the afternoon here last I looked. Maybe it’ll work out like a dryline type trough here...or at least a wind shift to the W-NW to compress the torch airmass already in place.
