1880: 1

1881: 1

1911: 4

1919: 2

1925: 1

1926: 1

Thanks Will...very interesting. They seem to come. I clusters. When I lived in la, 100 was nothing...it would happen at least once every year and sometimest day 3-5 dqys in a row. One big weenie day was late June 1990.. I worked at a sprawled out facility and I had a meeting I needed to attend. Going there features temps in the 90s. Coming out an hour later something had changed....you could feel the hot winds blowing down from the canyons. It. Hit 112 for their hottest day in record. Phoenix hit 123 that day and the airport closed due to lack of lift for take offs.

I just got back from the lake house (Adirondacks).  Was there from last Sat. till now.  Uncomfortable dews are rare there, but we had them this week.  Lots of temps in the mid 80's, and higher then normal dews.  All while I was there I was watching NYC news (via directv), and every day the weather dude would say "It was bad today, but tomorrow will be worse".  I dreaded the ride back today, and rightfully so.  I left the lake and it was 76 at about 12:30pm.  When we got to Saratoga the car therm. read 101f.  Obviously that thermometer is probably not the most accurate thing, but seeing the 101 was crazy.  Stepping out at the rest stop was like stepping right into Kevin's swamp-azz fantasy land.  Nasty, nasty stuff.

 

Worst.  Summer.  Evah.

Yeah lots of couplets or clusters for BOS...1880/1881, 1925/1926, 1948/1949, 1952/1953/1955, 1975/1977, and 2010/2011.

 

1911 was epic with the 4 in one year...though that was before the site moved to the current Logan airport location in the 1920s. (though the actual airport didn't open until the '30s). But looking at the ORH obs from their old site in 1911, it was still sick. Even taking into account the lower elevation, the current site would have had like 3 days in a row over 95F which is unheard of. Too bad we don't have upper air maps from then.

 

One thing sticks out at me historically speaking for our high end heatwaves in New England...we weren't really a big part of the 1930s epic heatwaves that got the plains into the OH Valley and even Mid-Atlantic...we stayed mostly north of them. The numbers are mind-boggling in those areas, but we barely make a peep during those. We roared in the late 40s/early 50s instead.

BOS has hit the C mark 24 times. How many times has ORH hit 95 ? Roughly the same ?

 

 

I think its close to 55-60 times actually...but so many of them are prior to the current airport site which was 400 feet lower in elevation.

 

I think only 13 of them are at the current airport site. The current airport site has never hit 100F...they did hit 99F for their all time high on 9/2/53...and I have no idea how they did that...nevermind the obscene date they did it.

Well let the fat lady sing.  Right on cue as we pass the climatolgoically hottest day.

 

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...

-- Changed Discussion --

HEADLINES...

 

* DRY AND SEASONABLE INTO MONDAY.

* SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS RETURN FOR TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY.

* AN ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN SETUP CONTINUES THROUGH THE LATE WEEK.

* NO SIGN OF OPPRESSIVE HEAT AND HUMIDITY RETURNING ANY TIME SOON.

 

Warm night nonetheless.  Was 71.4 just past midnight and have since climbed back up.  Too bad the MCS might screw things up for anything of significance out this way.  We'll see.

 

71.8/63

Must have missed this?

EXPECTED SOUTHERLY FLOW. SHOULD SEE THE RETURN OF MUGGY CONDITIONS.

Well, it probably has an exception for you who live in the tropics.  :)

 

How was the run?  I'll be going once my wife returns from hers.

continued solid model agreement at this point that we are done with "real" heat / humidity for quite some time...at least through month's end. mean atlantic surface HP has shifted well out into the central atlantic...by day 10 on the ec mean it's at like 30W, as opposed to about 90W during the middle of this week.

How can you say we're done with humidity when most of next week is humid with dews near 70?
