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)

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.

Since dew points aren't officially tracked climate data, there is no way to search the records besides by hand as you did.

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...

Wow.. Looks like we may "TORCH" that record for lack of a better term lol. 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. Mins in the low 70s and daytime highs around 90 hasn't resulted in the furnace you get with a 100/77 max/min day.

I have a window unit in my bedroom... otherwise a fan in the living room, office, and ceiling fan in dining room/kitchen. House is not bad at all now. Thermostat reads 82.

Yeah but I think the problems most folks are having is the high amount of moisture and wetness in the air. 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

Yeah window unit in the bedroom at night for sure. 

 

I may get central air next year. I have forced hot air so I have all the duct work. With a 1700 sq ft cape it probably won't be that expensive.

Is there a way to extract the data to import in MS Excel?  You can do all kinds of stats from there...that's what I use.

With dew-points I don't think so. I can access the data from NCDC, but I don't believe they list dew-points by day/hour.
