    Lol you really dug to find that one.

    Friend Kris sent this

    Just came southbound on Route 32 and I have never seen anything damage wise like I just saw. It looks like a tornado went through the entire stretch from the 32 connector all the way up to Connecticut College, powerlines down, trees down everywhere. Roads are blocked off in some places and meanwhile at my house there’s not even a leaf that fell off a tree lol

    Oh yeah, but I’m just saying where people live those temperatures are real to them.  Heat islands are absolutely a thing but those temperatures are what are being felt too by millions and millions of people.

    Of course but actually even in cities just outside downtowns temps are cooler especially with vegetation. The original post you responded to asked a valid question

    Toss silly Euro Timmy Might be a few scattered showers and humid, but no washouts or anything remotely similar 

    Long range ensemble guidance is in good agreement in the upper

    level ridge breaking down and a tendency towards lower heights

    next week. This will bring an end to the extreme heat, with

    readings more in line with typical summer. Guidance is also

    increasing PoP towards Tue as a weak upper low drifts or opens

    up as it crosses the region. Precip chances remain low

    confidence however, with large spread between the 25th and 75th

    percentile QPF.

    You mean how do we monitor surface temperatures as if there weren’t 7 billion humans building stuff all over the world?

    Ultimately, humans are highly concentrated, living on less than 1% of the total habitable space. Heat islands are a thing. Shit NWS allows 2 degree drifts in ASOS meant for planes but quoted as climo. Earth is warming but individual days mean nothing

    I know.  Those pesky solar panels.  Our system went online exactly 2 years ago.  We just put them on our east/west barn roof not our south facing house roof as I didn't like the esthetics.  With a few more hours to go this June it produced 1.1 MWh.  at our current electric providers rate of .21kWh that has saved us about $235 this month.  It paid all our electric bill and kept my electric Mustang Mache charged as I only charge on sunny days. Currently we also have a $140 credit from May.  It will be nice to run our 3 window AC units full blast the next 5 days although we don't have battery storage so we do have to pay for electric at night.  The nice thing is during the days we sell excess power back to the grid.  That helps the grid on peak usage days.  Bring on the heat!!

     

    Ours only online since June 4th
