DCMetroWinston Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 GSO at 93, INT at 92. Wake up Triad; this is an epic heatwave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburns Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Why is Winston-Salem/Triad always struggling to get impressive numbers during these heat waves? It seems the Triad just can't hit the century mark no matter what! A plus as far as I am concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaleighWx Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Here are the top 5 hottest months at RDU since 1887 August2007 84.12903 July1993 82.46774 July2010 82.29032 July2005 82.24194 August1900 82.22581 Currently through 7/21 July 2011 is at 82.07F. Our low this morning was 78, if we hit 102 again today (99 as of 1pm) our average would be 82.43 putting it up to third so far on the list. WIth the heat likely to last the rest of the month for the most part, we have a legitimate shot at making July 2011 the hottest month on record at RDU.

POWERSTROKE Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Why is Winston-Salem/Triad always struggling to get impressive numbers during these heat waves? It seems the Triad just can't hit the century mark no matter what! why would you want that anyway? I work outside and it is miserable on my guys so really don't want to see 100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LithiaWx Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 why would you want that anyway? I work outside and it is miserable on my guys so really don't want to see 100 95, 100, 102 - honestly what's the difference really? It's not much hotter on the body and humidity is high all over the eastern US. It's hot, some places are just slightly hotter today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POWERSTROKE Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 A plus as far as I am concerned. I am with you, that is onetime that I don't care if we hit the forecast high Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psalm 148:8 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 A few thoughts.... 1)Didn't see this intense heat (all over)predicted by CPC this spring ...seems like they were going normal on temps...I could be remembering wrong. 2)Alot of those folks up north don't have the AC like we do down here....It's rare here in the south to see a home with no AC..... 3)As we hit the end of May here, temps said "oh, snap!!! let's bring on the 90's".....and it hasn't let up since....thankful that I have my AC. 4)Saw numerous clouds towering on the way home from the grocery store....maybe today it will rain....especially since I have had soooo many near misses the last few days....only got the consolation prize (thunder)....radar still empty .....but if no rain....thankful that I have AC.

POWERSTROKE Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 95, 100, 102 - honestly what's the difference really? It's not much hotter on the body and humidity is high all over the eastern US. It's hot, some places are just slightly hotter today. there is a difference when its near 95, but the biggest problem we have is the humidity. Nasty sticky out here.

MotoWeatherman Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Wow! The heat up north is amazing! Now I feel bad for complaining that I've had no rain lately...currently I'm sitting out on my porch swing in the shade with a nice and comfy 85.5 degrees Benefits of the mountains! 88.5 IMBY on the other side of the range. Maybe I'll hit 90 today for only the 3rd time in July. Last year I hit 90+ 14 times in July. I'm glad it's cooler this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
