BDR verified on Monday, but I don't think any other site in the state has hit 100+ for 2 hours. Excessive heat warning is... well... excessive.

N. OF PIKE Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 What is criteria for exsessive heat warnings. And btw i think they are doing the best they can with the products they have to RAISE awareness that it will be a torch outside. With full sun high dews not much wind its very oppressive outside. I guess my point is dont hang yourself on the heat index when there is full sun and lighter winds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N. OF PIKE Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I think they have criteria because they "need" to have something tangible /measurable to make it "official" But the HI has limitations measuring reel feel heat (full sun, winds) and i would think it would be wise to apply it more liberally so awareness is high. I.e no citizens will be complaining it didnt "feel hot enuf" tommorrow for excessive heat warnings. I guess im saying how does it hurt . People arent as use to 95/70 heat here and anyone in the sun moving around for hours can be in danger (mail carriers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I think the advisories are fine. I'm an elderly person strong in good shape and by ignoring the conds today I was weakened by a 2 mile walking errand mid day. It was brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radarman Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 We hit 95.3 this afternoon, just eclipsing the yearly high of 95.1 on 5/31. The last two days the heat seemed kind of meh but today felt legitimately hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People arent as use to 95/70 heat here and anyone in the sun moving around for hours can be in danger (mail carriers) Heat indices in the 90s, even upper-90s, are no big deal. If the NWS wants to bust in dozens of zones every day this week and push their scores down, that's their prerogative. Tomorrow probably won't even be as bad as it was 7/18/2012.

weathafella Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I remember being in the boundary waters/Quetico area on a canoe trip 15 years ago and seemingly seeing heat lightning nightly....until it ended up overhead.....a brilliant and spectacular northern lights display. Big check off of the bucket list that week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last two days the heat seemed kind of meh but today felt legitimately hot. The Valley was hot today. Franklin Co. was hot but Northampton was baking when I was down there so I imagine S of there was brutal. Outside of downtown Greenfield (where there's usually a breeze) it's so rural out here that nights are never oppresive but I think the launching pad starts high the next two mornings so it should be awful. Green River was nice and cold though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
