Look, my point as well as others is that some meso sites give a real extremely local result for things like dewpoints, especially in the summer because of vegetation. Your backyard sensor will say one thing, but then move it out to the street..guaranteed it drops a degree or two. Than move it down the street...probably another result. I don't understand why people can't grasp that. Soil moisture and vegetation and locally effect dewpoints. Stations like BDL and ORH have trees and/or fields all around it. It's not like dewpoints will drop 5 degrees because of a runway strip...they are all reasonable approximations to the boundary layer.

I would pose that accuracy/maintenance standards are a little higher than meso sites as well. Even AWOS sensors don't receive the same preventative maintenance schedule as your typical ASOS.

As you've said though, circuitous argument that could go on forever.

Seeing most of our buoys blowing offshore now, even the coast is going to roast on the first day of summer.

For sure. Heading north and no escaping it there.
