Quincy Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Do they even track things like consecutive days or hours of dews over 70? I mean BDL 6+ days without dropping below 70. Does anyone recall something like this? Dating back to 2004, I could not find any stretch of longer than 3 consecutive days at BDL with dew-points AOA 70. As far as high low temperatures ago, here are the three most significant periods I saw from 2004-2012: July 6-10, 2010: 5 days a in row with lows AOA 70. August 1-4, 2006: 4 days in a row with lows AOA 70*. July 15-19, 2005: 5 days in a row with lows AOA 70. *All four days had lows AOA 73 degrees: 97/73 (85) 100/74 (87) 97/78 (88) --- now this is impressive! 87/74 (81) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quincy Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 For what it's worth, it seems that 8 days is the record for BDL's consecutive days with a min GTE 70 in 1975 (We're currently at 7). That's an interesting stat, but those are just air temperatures right, not necessarily dew-points staying continuously AOA 70? EDIT: The dew-point AOA 70 stretch is only on day 5 at BDL. June 30th had dews in the upper 60's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 ASOUT Rev whats highest temp so far in sne. I see 93 in bos so far ... We were picked on and trolled last week when we said this was the most humid period in history . No need to gloat. We just sit back and enjoy. Record snows and record dews .

OceanStWx Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Nice stat... How'd you get that one? We've got some internal access through the NERCC (xmACIS, same program that runs the NOWdata on NWS climate pages). Too bad that's on the tarmac though, where nobody lives. We toss.

mob1 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 There's nothing memorable about a few humid weeks. What do folks remember more about the 70's, the blizzard of '78 or the 7 day dew extravaganza of '75? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a pain-staking process to go back and the other issue is that dews are only measured on the hour (usually), so we wouldn't know for sure if there was a drop to 69°F between hours...

Psh 10,000, our living room unit is 25,000 BTU. These conditions blow, and driving a black SUV with no AC ensures I drive in a mobile sweat lodge.

I had a feeling this was a special period we were living thru My house has actually been pretty bearable at night. The upstairs is hot but downstairs in the kitchen, living room, office have been not bad after dark.

You've got to be running your ac right? How can you sleep ? It's not really a furnace but more like a sauna with folks sweating after just one wiping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
