how does that compare to a normal sunny day at the same time ?

 

for example both Sunday and Monday topped out between 800-900 watts/m2

yeah. it's consistent with light to moderate overcast, a rainy day is even less. 

curious what folks with solar sensors on their weather stations are getting for readings

right now my station solar radiation is ~100 watts/m2 (whatever that means), with a UV index <1

just took down the backyard canopy just in case. pretty much guaranteed that nothing will happen here, not that I was expecting anything but you never know. Those outdoor canopies like to become airborn in the slightest breeze

not super hot (mid 80’s here) but the humidity is the real deal. My evening walk was a bad idea, fat guy sweats a lot.

That’s some scary shit

-10 degree temp bust here

smoke 'em if you got 'em

0.000000”.  Been a decent day although a little humid this morning. Glad we don’t live in CT..as always

Definite wood smoke smell in the air tonight…not sure if it’s QB, but I assume it is

fireworks smoke, probably

I have never contemplated the effects of firework smoke...until now!

He beer.

This would be interesting if it were to occur. HRRR suggesting some degraded air quality from wildfire smoke settling near the surface in parts of New England tomorrow. Add in firework smoke, and it could be even worse I'd imagine?

 

you’re concerned about fireworks smoke? lololol

So I drove around a lot of CON the past couple hours…mostly 96/97 on the car and it’s historically consistently 2° too warm so 94/95 matches the ASOS obs well. But there’s always a warm spot on the north end that goes up a few degrees around the 93/393 split up to about the river…basically the NHTI area. Sure enough, went through there and the car thermo went from 97 to 100 to 96 (95 to 98 to 94). There’s definitely a little heat boost in that river terrain carved out by the old Lake Merrimack.

similar driving around MHT this afternoon. a couple areas hit 99 on the car thermo, but low to mid 90’s in others

It was a pioneer clump. I check for it every year because I'm paranoid. I think I got it early enough with all roots before it could send out the rhizomes.

good luck. i have seen knotweed in my area, but not in my 'hood. but i do keep a close eye out for it. I hate the invasive crap. meanwhile, pretty much every beech tree in my 'hood is either dead or dying. sad, as I really like the look of beeches.

Took a walk along each side of the road in front of the house…

Tons of poison ivy on boths sides. Noticed some last year, but it’s nuts this year and  is now trying to work into my yard.

Tons of ragweed starting

And a 2 stalk clump of knotweed about 2ft tall

They use bottom of the barrel fill along the road and let the invasives go nuts. Then they go around with chems spraying the shit a couple of years later.

Maddening

i noticed the PI is thriving this year. i try to stay on top of it and spray it with a targeted weed spray every year (I use poison ivy killer, only targets viney stuff including oriental bittersweet), this year the plants are bigger with huge leaves.

good luck with the knotweed, there are a bunch of different removal strategies out there (most are voodoo), but unless you use ROund Up or similar, you are unlikely to succeed

Wow MEX has 3 straight days of 100° for BDL.

B2B 100s for MHT

102° for CON, TAN, and BAF

f- that. it can be hot during the work week, but Friday is a holiday and I'd like to get some yard work done without dying.

Where exactly?  Which day(s)?  Generic statements like this do not cut it these days.  The details count and the models can parse these out much better these days.

From a MSM media standpoint, it likely is going this way, "NYC is going to be very hot, so that mean *all* the East Coast is going to be a super torch."  Never underestimate the power of thinking a location is the center of the universe!

don’t waste your keystrokes responding to that troll. he does not post in good faith, never has.

someone’s gotta fix the board. I feel,like I’m on AOL dial up

Was up in CON this afternoon. talk about pound town. Over an inch of rain with pea sized hail.

The next drought monitor should be fun.

This is a NH and NNE summer in terms of storms and rains. They always reveal themselves in June and it’s generally the same repetitive areas . Last year that was this area . 

ya because the 0.1” of rain I got earlier was so satisfying

Just had a really close CG. Just getting grazed by a developing cell. 

I hope that stuff stays east of me. Got the grill going and don’t want to stand out in the rain

whole lotta meh here. it got windy for about 5 mins, thundered once right in top of me noggin, and a quick quarter inch of rain.
