North Balti Zen Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 My wife's school is unairconditioned and in the middle of the Baltimore heat island. Thankfully, BCS letting out at half day. But she says it is already intolerable from the jump, what with the school having been shut tight over the three day weekend and the morning starting out so hot. Miserable four hours ahead for them. Probably not a lot of learning going on for the kids at any rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good that they are getting a half day, but they shouldn't have to sit through that anytime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good that they are getting a half day, but they shouldn't have to sit through that anytime Yeah, only reason they are in is to "be open". She was begging parents via e-mail to send water bottles with the kids to try and help. They are in a basically windowless room in a brick school with one box fan for her class (that she provided). For Wire fans, she teaches in the school that was the setting for the school scenes in Season 4. It's now a charter public school, but the physical building is not set up for handling this kind of heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 74 with a TD of 49. FTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradeWinds Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 yesterday was horrible. I doubted the 99 degree reading on my car thermometer until I saw that the airport was reporting the same thing. It was even hot hiking though Cunningham Falls yesterday Did FDK hit 99F yesterday? All of the hourly obs show a 5 hr span of 96F although they did record 97F in between obs. My thermometer hit 99.2F in the shade and I suspect it's been running about 1F to 1.5F too high. It appears thought that Northern MD was in a hot spot yesterday with 97F+ consistent from FDK to BWI.

Yup. Check out the temps around 14:00 yesterday http://www.weather.gov/data/obhistory/KFDK.html shows it fluctuating between 97 and 99 for about an hour.

DCMetroWinston Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 What is the general rule about the correlation between 10 am and noon temps and the likelihood of reaching the century mark? Usually, doesn't it have to be 90 degrees by 10 am to have a realistic chance at 100 degrees? Or does it have to be 94 by noon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solo2 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I'll take the over no matter when it is on when FDK will have a properly placed and calibrated temp sensor Correct. My temps are always 3-5 degrees less than KFDK in the summer, and I am down in the valley....like them. I am at 89.2 right now. KFDK is at 93.
