HoarfrostHubb Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Jerry, the truth and common sense is not allowed First week of August will clearly be above normal, not historical which seems the only way some view above normal heat, yet still above normal. Middle to end of August could very well be an oven, and as you well know September can bake especially with lower dews and downsloping winds. No one is thinking it will be snowy and below freezing Joe I would not argue that August won't be above average. Sept too... I know September can bake...

snowNH Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Anybody see the 12z GFS around days 6 and 7... Looks like a 'cane near the southeast coast while NE gets pretty good rains. Could be an interesting time period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow Bow Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 lol....Bedford is no different than Bow...very high property taxes and huge class separation. It's just too expensive a town, without kids to put through school yet, otherwise there are advantages. Yeah we're looking at a place right on the New Ipswich/Temple line. It's 10 acres ranging from 1350' to 1500'+ in the Wapack range I know was just trying to be ironic. Bow definitely is in the same boat as Bedford lol. And that's why we moved here. I have two girls one eight and one who just turned one. That is the only reason why we moved here I mean sort of you know Bedford and Bow are both pretty nice areas decent snow not as hot as the cities. I could never send my kids to MHT schools nowadays, when I went it wasn't as bad as they are today. But when it comes down to it once kids are done im outta here to a setting more like West Chesterfield, Washington NH, Temple, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 All of you should thank your lucky stars you don't live several hundred miles to the sw. What's going on in the MA area and especially down in the southern Plains makes 2010 look like a cool summer. Our sporadic cooldowns have made the occasional heat spells tolerable for sure. If you live in CNEand NNE...you are loving the last two days or so...as I was. Nights in the 50s and days in the lower 80s with low humidity. At one point, I thought about how great we have it during the summer, as compared to the sauna knows as the MA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Partly to mostly sunny seasonal mid summer day here. 82 now after a low of 57. They got down to 52 in the deep HV in Saugerties below ALB. So can't complain much because it could be a lot hotter on July 31st. All of you should thank your lucky stars you don't live several hundred miles to the sw.

I'm down in SNE and even I'm loving this. 800ft in North Woodstock, CT... currently 82F, nice breeze, fair weather clouds, low humidity. This is beautiful stuff. Only difference is the nighttimes are definitely warmer down here. Stowe-Morrisville Airport (MVL) got down to 50F last night at roughly 750ft elevation; while down here at a similar elevation I doubt it got much below 65F... even though the daytime highs aren't too different between the two locations (low 80s). I guess that's the difference between being on a hill top around 800ft and being in a valley at the same elevation up north. I love the cold nights up north even during the warm spells. I would not want to be living in D.C. right now... or ever really, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Torchey Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Looks like many got to or just shy of 90 as expected. I could care less what happens down south or on top of mt washington, the point is its above normal for sne, where people live, and its going to stay that way for the forseeable future.

Im sure there's several posters on here who would love to experience or have the weather that's going on in the areas you speak of. I totally agree with you though the last couple days have been pure perfection. Low humidity, a nice breeze from time to time and temps in the upper 70's for most of the day then finally reaching the 80's for a couple hours during the pm before dropping back down for the late afternoon and evening hours. All of which makes for one of the if not the best weather weekend of the year. I for one am very thankful that I don't have to put up with that abomination of a summer they have been having out there in the plains, mid-west, and western connecticut. Im sure not everyone feels the same and that's what makes the country we live in so great. Our freedom of choice/opinion and to say what we like.

I will be off of here for 10 days unless I can steal Wifi while I am in Fla HI in Orlando today was only 102 90 feels good when you're old....especially with low humidity. We go to the same camp every year in NH but this year we're having a variation for a family reunion in MI (SW...along the shores of Lake Michigan...a place called Union Pier. Would retire there in a heartbeat. Beaufiful and snowy in winter downwind of the Lake yet still a 2 hour drive to Chicago while rural in its own right. We're treating our daughter for her bday to an overnight at the Ritz Carlton in Cleveland along with a rock n roll HOF visit. Little known fact is that the Ritz gives govt rates at their properties and in Cleveland it's pretty low ($102/night). A driving trip....no airport insanity or planes to catch. I have 3 air trips in September (business, 2 in October and 2 more in November before I shut it down for the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weathafella Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 91/70 at BOS today. We should finish about +3.5 for July. That's hot for the hottest month of the year. Averages similar to just south of NYC? August probably starts out with a big + out of the gate for the first 2 days. All summer people have talked about how this summer hasn't been hot but verification says otherwise for the past 5 weeks. BOS with 10 days of 90+ for June and 11 for the season. I'm figuring 17 for the year. Above normal but not spectacularly so. What's DC have by now....30....35? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All summer people have talked about how this summer hasn't been hot but verification says otherwise since the June solstice. It's been hot no doubt, but we've had some breaks anyways. Nightime mins have really boosted the temps up. We'll be right near last July in the city or even a tenth or so warmer, but I think 1 day less of 90 degrees. My post earlier was comparing our summer to what's going on in that hellpit to our southwest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know it's weird...I never really felt this month has been exceptionally hot. It's obviously been warm, but I never felt like "Oh my God..this is horrible.." Edit: well the exception being the 21 and 22 of course. And tell you what...the numbers last year at Logan are deceiving. Those sneaky seabreezes really kept the temps down, while Boston Common and points west just boiled. For instance look at BDL. So far they are at +2.2. Last year they were +3.4. So I think overall that this month hasn't been like last year...however we have done a good job at getting fewer seabreeze days this year it seems.

It helped too that the hottest 4 day period of the month in New England we were in Baltimore so we didn't experience it here. We left with decent comfortable weather up here and returned to very nice weather. That said, this month will be about a full degree cooler than last July for here. Still a hot month though...but last year was much worse. We've had a lot of 79-83 highs this month so its been fairly comfortable. We didn't ever really offset them with 68-73 highs except maybe one day I can recall...then add in the torch while we were in Baltimore, and you have a pretty solidly + departure.
