Frederick's 93 I think is the top temperature in the country right now (setting aside the Inner Harbor reading)

I don't know how I feel about FDK today. Many have questioned their temps and most times my Davis VantageVue is close in numbers (I'm about 4.5 miles away). Today, we're way off.

11:50 AM

KFDK: 99F/72F = 108 HI

My backyard: 92F/74F = 103 HI

Based on temps at BWI and DCA, the temp may be correct but the humidity sensor messed up. We know FDK is in a bowl but 7 degrees over 4 miles doesn't sound accurate at all. Most other wunderground stations are reporting 88 in western burbs (over 1000') to low 90s around Frederick. I wonder what equipment they use?

I'd ignore all stations except the 3 airports and properly calibrated and placed home stations

Thanks for the interesting table, which shows how anomalous extreme events can be. Only 12 of the 30 days in June have recorded a 100-degree or higher reading, but June 9th -- with a 1981-2010 normal high of only 82 -- has recorded three days of 100+, including the only two 102-degree June days. On the other hand, June 27th -- with a 1981-2010 normal high of 87-- has never recorded a 100-degree day.

Interesting to watch JYO in conditions such as these. Absent the W wind, we are 2-3 degrees cooler than IAD. Add in the W wind, and we'll be 2-3 warmer than IAD easily. That's quite a spread.

Note the W wind component has been conspicuously absent during this most recent heat wave. And temps have been much closer to ho-hum despite dire predictions. Still feels hot though.
