You get them in between hourly values? I would think not... unless you're using one of those crazy not-used-for-climo stations.

Got a vantage pro 2. And before you say they are messed up. I got it calibrated correctly. I am sitting right around what the airport KHGR is right now. Temp and dewpoint.

PWS = Meh, but probably correct. I just wanted to know where you were getting your data from.

Just got done my run too. Even after a cold shower and sitting in the AC I'm still sweating. Luckily I've got some broken cloud cover in the area so the sun doesn't feel angry yet.

We did two stadiums both sides then laps then 100 yard up downs and then 100 yard rolls.... all as a 6'5 300 lineman.. such a big FML

78 which is still amazing.

do you know, off the top of your head, if there have been back to back 100s at MRB?

Yes. Longest stretch was 5 consecutive days twice: July 19-23, 1930 (100, 103, 106, 105, 103) and July 26-30, 1930 (102, 105, 100, 101, 104)

1930 also had another 4 day stretch 8/3-6 (100, 102, 108, 105) and a 3 day streak 8/8-10 (105, 100, 102.) What a fun summer that must have been.

that is simply amazing--thank you. I was going to ask you if you thought those were realistic readings or if perhaps there was a glitch in the thermometer or the site that summer, but then I am reminded of the Dirty Thirties and that is is possible that it was the result of being caught in the overflow of the great drought.

I'd like to do some cross-checking with other stations nearby to be certain. A fun project for when I find the time. But yes, I think the temps from the 30's are probably legit.
