Jmister Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 The tenths are the result of the double conversion from Fahrenheit to Celsius and back again. Notice how the tenths are rarely in half degree increments like .3, .4, .5, .6? The major airports use ASOS (some airports use AWOS which in theory can do whatever they like with regard to rounding) which only measures to the nearest whole degrees Fahrenheit, but obviously they have to convert to whole degrees Celsius for international distribution. The tenths of Celsius remark you see in the metars is so Americans can get back to the original whole degrees Fahrenheit temperature without introducing rounding errors. Thanks! I did not know this. Anyway, 100/51 here in UNV sure must seem nice compared to everyone in this area! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isotherm Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Pool temp 89.5 here, warmest I ever remember it. Air temp down to 98F due to clouds from the T-storm south of me. High was 100.5 so far!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famartin Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Lol.. yeah the minimum wage worker taking the observations who really just can't wait for Miller Time is going to go back and fix an observation because Fox News doesn't let guests on their show that don't believe in global warming. I gotta say that's pretty out there. By the way NCDC gets to decide on official climatology, not the FAA or the NWS, and they adjust official climate records more often than you realize. They used to adjust COOP obs alot. They've backed off on that lately. NWS/FAA obs are much less likely to be altered (but still are occasionally).

famartin Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 That storm near Trenton cooled my parents off alot, they dropped to at least 93 (maybe lower, they weren't watching it continuously of course ), but 5 minutes ago was back to 99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoSki14 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I hit 104 although weather underground gets me to 105, HI 120, it literally feels like a sauna out there, just miserable. I'm actually surprised there isn't any major power outages anywhere or blackouts due to all of this heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Record high temperature tied at Bridgeport CT... a record high temperature of 103 degrees was tied at Bridgeport CT today. This ties the old record of 103 set in 1957.

tornadojay Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 well, I can tell you that my temp is still going up, albeit slowly. I'm up to 100.4... so I've essentially got a low grade fever now.. somebody get me a medic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowman21 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 with no clouds around ? hmmm, wonder how that happened. Advection of slightly cooler air? The fact that we're more than three hours removed from the peak heating capability of the sun? Do you think as long as the sun is out it should just keep on getting hotter and hotter? Does it work that way every day making today an exception? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
