Good thing about cutting grass is you at least have a breeze, moving on the mower. High was 96 here, still 91/78 right now. Great night swimming coming up the next few nights.

jm1220 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 The difference between Long Beach and Midtown is like night and day. In Midtown at 6pm there was almost no breeze and just a stifling, broiling, engulfing heat mixed with thick humidity. Just about unbearable. Here at 7:30 there's a strong south breeze and moderate/borderline heat, but nothing excessive. There has to be at least 15 degrees difference between here and Midtown.

I haven't been outside yet today. I'm about to go to Columbus Circle. I would take the subway (versus walking--20ish blocks) but it's the choice between slowly boiling and rapidly broiling. I'll chance it with the former, I think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way anyone can even pay me to take a subway today. I was in them for last summer's heat and it's almost impossible even to breathe. I ruined a shirt from the sweat also. I walked from near Grand Central to Penn Station-bad not not as brutal as taking the shuttle or 1-2-3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its hot out, very brutal while doing our work. Atleast i can say we work during this heat wave, makes a man out of you. We did about 12 today and got done at 3. .we only skipped 3 lawns this week but Fridays lawns on the schedule are mostly browned out so we probably only do a handful. Next week is when we really catch up on all our trimming. I will say this. I agree with you, it does make a man out of you, makes you mentally tougher and makes you more disciplined., people who work in offices have no idea what we go through so I just laugh at any of their complaining I still dont know why you guys load up all your cutting on two days though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jm1220 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 It looks like the models (GFS) that predicted the high dewpoints were on the ball. Even when temps are in the mid 80s, dewpoints in the 70s are atrocious. When it's 100, it's unbearable. Tomorrow should have some better mixing of lower dewpoints due to WNW wind as well as mixing of lower dewpoints from aloft, but the higher temps could make it just as bad. Saturday too. This is pretty much Texas or deep, deep South weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DGEX agrees. http://www.meteo.psu...WF_0z/test8.gif Amazing how the heat's caught up over the last month, after so many of us were kavotching over the wet/cool Spring. We're lucky we had that wet spring and snowy winter or else many of us would be facing drought now. In many ways it's awesome how variable our climate is here. Multiple 1-2 foot snowstorms last season with blizzard conditions, to 100-105 degree heat and 110+ heat indices now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
