The fact that we this thread can grow by several pages each day over temps and dewpoints is mind-boggling.  People must be really bored these days.  Whatever warmth there is today will be muted by the winds anyway.

 

On to other things:  I believe today is the climotologically warmest day for many in the region--certainly within 2-3 on either side.

 

We've lost 25 minutes of daylight since the solstice

 

Daily loss today is 1:38.

 

The drumbeats growling louder.

Can't wait.  We need some more rains after this heat.  Shooting for the century mark today.  It's been basically 2 years since I cracked it.  I hit 98F a year ago.

 

It basically hangs the front overhead so 50 miles means everything. Either way, temps more respectable and chances of rain. Tuesday could be rather wet.

today's the first time these advisories / warnings are really necessary. places will cook and the dews will stay quite high.

well I do not know about the Govt advising us but yesterday was 96/74 with a HI of 109, I am pretty sure that it was about as miserable as it gets around here.

yes steve i know. i'm just talking about in the context of NWS verification. i know it's been hot. :lol:

odd thing is that they missed the highest HI's consistently. Why not just issue a high heat advisory for the entire region. The silliness of the system as Ryan has pointed out is really the issue. Wonder if we are feeling cooler here today than yesterday, there is a breeze. As Pickles pointed out very smartly HI does not take into account wind or clouds both of which make working outside much more tolerable than sunny and still.

The Govt does not tell you this but has it on their Heat index page so add up to 15 degrees if in full sun and no wind

he Heat Index (HI) is the temperature the body feels when heat and humidity are combined. The chart below shows the HI that corresponds to the actual air temperature and relative humidity. (This chart is based upon shady, light wind conditions. Exposure to direct sunlight can increase the HI by up to 15°F.)
