Typhoon Tip Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 DEWPOINTS WILL REMAIN IN THE UPPER 60S AND LOWER 70S THISAFTERNOON. RESULTING HEAT INDICES WILL RANGE FROM THE MID 90S TOAROUND 100...WITH THE HIGHEST VALUES IN THE CT VALLEY AND BOSTONSUBURBS. HEAT ADVISORY CONTINUES FOR ALL LOCATIONS NORTH OF THECAPE COD CANAL. IT MAY NOT VERIFY IN SOME SPOTS SUCH AS THEWORCESTER HILLS AND MONADNOCKS...BUT MOST PLACES WILL EITHER EQUALTHE CRITERIA OR COME CLOSE ENOUGH TO FEEL THAT WAY.

Yeah it seems those headlines have been more for awareness (not that anyone needed someone to tell them it's been hot and will be for a few more days) than for anything else. I feel like most heat advisories fall short in New England except maybe for like record high type days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropopause_Fold Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Is NCDC the best place to sort out things like number of 90 degree days at a certain station during a certain year? Is there a way to select what you are looking for in some sort of database? Looking for climate data is like pulling teeth sometimes.

Is there a way to select what you are looking for in some sort of database? Looking for climate data is like pulling teeth sometimes. I know, it really is... You just lose patience and throw your hands. You go to some of those sites and it's, "Click here for the data you are looking for"; so you click it, and it isn't the data you are looking for. ad nauseam. Instead, you get some crowing egg-head writing an essay about what the data means, and their method of categorizing. Links to another link to nth link, JUST GIVE US THE NUMBERS ALREADY.

I feel like most heat advisories fall short in New England except maybe for like record high type days. It does seem that way. I wonder if internally they have a different sort of policy for heat criteria. By contrast, I'm pretty sure in winter-time they are stricter with snow totaling and what kind of notification trigger to pull -- doesn't seem the carry as rigid a standard with heat.

Damage In Tolland Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 That isn't a sea breeze boundary. It's right on top of me now. It's a dew boundary. Up to 76 here and 74 IJD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Or .txt Yeah I'll try that sometime. It's easier to hack into the IRS than it is to find the longest stretch of 90F days. Maybe it's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Its north of me and temp is 88.0 and dew is 76 Right, hence why your dew went up. Your temp probably didn't change much since you are far enough north to be away from marine influence. Same boundary went through Logan and boosted their dew. Happens frequently.

Same boundary went through Logan and boosted their dew. Happens frequently. It's like in April/May when everyone has 75/30 while those east of the sea breeze boundary are 60/50.
