Mr Torchey Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 It doesn't mean you can't go to the beach and have beers. Especially since this is the temp I love. Clouds would be one thing but when the sun is the strongest it gets, and the skies are sunny its perfect, granted 95 and humid would be better but we make the most of our weekends, Saturday was 77 or 79 I believe which was incredible. Sunday had a nice east wind which let the kids boogie board and the water almost felt warmer than the air. The HHH's will come, I enjoy it all as long as the sun is shining.

Tropopause_Fold Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Simply Sewage? lol i'm being serious. LOL. i had an ex that went to FU...they had beach parties down at the shore all the time...it just didn't look like water that people swim in (and no one did). i just figured with that armpit BDR literally the next town over, that the pollution level was too high.

Water quality is definitely worse down that way than areas east of New Haven but in general it's pretty good in Long Island Sound. It's improved substantially in the last 20 years too. That said I wouldn't swim most places following a 3"+ rainstorm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure Phillip. I have only been here for 5 years now, and while its not Truro, or parts of the RI coast or back home, its all we have. The beach is packed every weekend, and the water is packed with people. On the east side of Penfield Reef its an all sand bottom which is rare for this part of the sound. I have never had an issue with the water, never met anyone that did, but like Ryan said swimming in any sound or bay after a heavy rain would be ridiculous. Have a good night!!

I probably wouldn't go to any of the public beaches in CT... far too crowded and just not that great... but most of the private/town beaches are pretty awesome.

Damage In Tolland Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 From Sunday in Branford. Is that the barge from the Japan tsunami with all kinds of nasty sea creatures on it washed ashore in CT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted June 18, 2012 Author Share Posted June 18, 2012 Big heat looks to stay SW on the ensembles. Seems like it offers the chance of some rain though. While the end of the run warms, it has the kink WF wave signature to our south. Early July 2009 redux? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ski MRG Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 65/56, a high 68, (64 @2k). Here we are on the 18th of JUne and still no high heat. Looks like a day or two of ugliness then back to schweetness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a day or two of ugliness then back to schweetness. Pete... I realized that we are only about 3 months out from "possible snow" here in the Northern Greens. I'm not sure about the Berkshires, but mid/late September snows are possible up here at the summits. A couple falls ago back in 2009, our first snowfall was the night of September 30th into October 1st... really only like 3 months and a week away. Just the thought of the possibility of walking in snow in 13 weeks is enough to get through this hot spell. October 1, 2009 It won't be long...

All this blathering on about a few days in the upper 80's (maybe a 90) as if a molten glob of the sun is going to engulf us is very amusing. I'll work and sweat and then go golfing and walk the course not ride. No big deal. It is awesome that we are about to turn the corner and start heading downhill (NPI). 10/4/87 (I think) was our earliest significant snowfall that I can remember. It's still below zero and snowing on Denali. Sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
