Summer update II: As of July 10, SNE region's 4 primary climo sites are all solidly above normal nearing mid July

[Ginx snewx]

A throwback summer for me. Most my age remember this one as similar to those of our growing up years. Wx has been spectacular. I've added several vacation days to spend at the lake in NH.

Nice dude, enjoy. I put several more on schedule myself.

Beautiful hot humid summer day in CT. Heading for day 3 of the heat wave

Noon dewpoints is 59 at BDL.

KALB has had nine 90+ days this year. Yesterday may have made 10.

Meanwhile only two here.

But the vast bulk of ALB's 90+ has been in the very low 90's....

We really have. It's just been consistently warm, but looking at the temp departures...you would have thought way more 90F temps as compared to 2 this month. We've been banging this drum for a while..since June. Night temps have killed Logan, but look at the list of highs. Those temps aren't very impressive. Humidity has also been kept in check for now.

Where on the Lake? I'm up there a lot now that my parents got a little place there.

[Logan11]

Bastardi keep claiming we are back in the 50's with the 60's to come.

My early childhood mind has a few memories of the tail end of that snowy period of the 60's/early 70's ...but of course we are talking summers here.

Rick, your summer adjusted for elevation appears to hotter than mine so far. It would appear that 150 mile closer proximity to the mid country dethroning ridge is the reason? Boston has had 2 AOA 90 days in July (yesterday was one) and 4 in June for a total of 6.

Home stations in mid-upper 60's..which as we've discussed are where people live, work, play..

Not the big one. My friend has a well appointed camp on Pine River Pond in Wakefield, NH, about 20 miles east of Wolfboro. Beautiful lake and the economy has thinned out. The rowdy a holes who bought during the boom overextending themselves. We've spent time there every summer going back 20 years. The typical day is breakfast, hike, swim, read, eat, drink, sleep in that order.

80.4F here with a nice sunny afternoon.

Youre right, far more accurate to use weenie purchased equipment vs official ones.

Dews on a scorched tarmac are going to be lower than areas that have trees, grass and vegetation. Both sensors are correct for the environments they are in. That cannot be argued

64 at CEF and 61 at BAF.

Oh I know where that is. Nice place. I love it up there. I try to go up as often as I can. We are on the Center Harbor/Moultonboro line on Winni. FYI, there is a nice place to hike by Squam (which is probably my favorite lake of all). Rattlesnake mtn...which is only about 1200' above sea level. Views are epic though.

His sprinkler is probably hitting it.

So then we can use local temps to justify this torch. Cool. About 5 less 90 degree days.

Why not? Ginx does

What, dude if this is a torch high humidity day I will take it everyday.

I'm getting 83.6/64 here. I call almost 84* a hot day, and the dp certainly points to the humid side of the scale.

But, there's a nice breeze blowing, so sitting on the deck in the shade is down-right comfy. Taking a break from mowing--sad time of year to mow. Mowing on the 4" setting more just to keep things at a uniform height than anything else. Bring on the rain.......

4? Holy heck

Yes..you absolutely raise the blade as high as it can go..4 inches is the summer recommended height.

1)It helps prevent grass from burning

2) Keeps disease and insects out

3)Longer grass chokes out weeds.

I always laugh when i see people cutting their lawns at like 1.5-2 inches..That's the absolute worst thing you could do for a lawn.

Hail Memorial Middle School, Tolland,ct has current temp of 85 with a 59 dew.

On a torched asphalt roof.

Look at the "home " stations in Tolland on the mesomap site..All in the 60's

[weathafella]

MEX has a Kevin special through Wednesday.

I am about 3 miles from there, confirm. Sitting in the shade, enjoying the breeze. No sweat from the players, low dews.

Lol...it's not in the fukn roof or it would be reading 107...

The kids would lose their balls in the grass, oh wait.

Probably so Jerry... Go further west toward BUF and they are really feeling the heat this Summer. Lake Erie near record sst levels, etc.

We are going to Woodwards, off route 93, near Lincoln, NH for the hike club weekend this year. It's Oct 26-28 so we got a $78 double rate that includes a full breakfast.

Probably still good Fall hiking wx, but wouldn't bother me if we had some early season snow.

Oh I know where that is. Nice place. I love it up there. I try to go up as often as I can. We are on the Center Harbor/Moultonboro line on Winni.

I dunno who the great brain was that decided we should put all our main wx sensors near airport tarmacs. Might have made logistical sense, but pollutes all the readings.

Dews on a scorched tarmac are going to be lower than areas that have trees, grass and vegetation. Both sensors are correct for the environments they are in. That cannot be argued
