moneypitmike Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Absolutely beautiful heat up here today... crystal clear air, dew points were 20-30F lower than they were yesterday. At 5pm, the Morrisville-Stowe (KMVL) ASOS was reading 91/50 for a RH of 25%!! I actually am enjoying today with a stiff breeze and very dry air. Visibility is crystal clear, too. No haze at all. Rutland, VT (KRUT) was 91/45 for a RH of 20%!! Now that's impressive for the east. Talk about some dry air, this feels like Arizona dry heat with breezy conditions. According to my DP2, the RH dropped to 29% just before 2:00p.m. The current 38% is hardlly unbearable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's some good stuff... getting below 30% RH makes 85-95F feel not that bad. I actually couldn't believe it got up into the lower 90s today because it just didn't feel like it was that hot. Dry air and stiff breeze keeps you nice and cool outside. Perfect for outdoor activities when yesterday I wanted to slit my throat, lol. I just can't believe we had 77F dew point yesterday afternoon and this afternoon it was 50F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weathafella Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 When I saw MET last night, I figured we'd have our hottest day in 35 years. Wrong. It is 85 years. If I have to wait another 36 for this, I will be an even 100. Impressive heat.....the only disappointment was the lack of the all time record of 105 but I'd wager it may have happened wherever they were measuring 100 years ago...it certainly wasn't East Boston though that's as hot as the next place. I was giving a talk in front of many but used my phone power monitoring hourly obs. Impressive heat.......and certainly the hottest day this year will produce....and 105 degree spread from low to high for the year. Fabulous!

Good luck the way things are these days you'll probably make it to be a centenarian. I'd be chilling at a cool 72 if things go well. 114(rounded up) degree spread for me. Its been extreme at both ends this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow Bow Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 84 here but you get more snow I think if given the choice i'd take the extra snow. Feels good to say snow again doesn't it? I can put the ac on to cool it down a bit. Can't put the garden hose outside to add to qpf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With dews getting as low as the upper 40s and lower 50s during the afternoon, I'd imagine we get down into the 50s here in the mtn valleys tonight as long as we can keep the skies clear. Huntington, VT (west slope) at 850ft is dropping like a rock... down to 69F there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny how there has been so much squawking about the terror of a torch when in reality it's a few hot days with little or no impact. The back of the heat is already broken.

I worked out in the sun all day. Lots of water and it simply wasn't that bad. Hot to be sure but what's the big deal? All this "face melting heat" hype comes from people that spend all their time in a/c. You're right. Boston gets to a 'cool' 96-97F tomorrow.

The back of the heat is already broken. You're right: record setting heat is "no big deal" long-standing climatological records be damned. As far as the back of the heat being broken, we've got roughly a month and a half left of summer and models point to more heat next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJBASHB Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Woke up this morning in Baraboo, Wi right before the northern edge of an mcs rolled through. Got a nice picture of the sun rise through the clouds. Then we traveled to Interior, South Dakota. Watched this storm develop the last few hours of the trip and got a great picture of it going through the Bad Lands. It's incredible out here. Enjoy the heat!
