powderfreak Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Highest temperature here for the last 8 days of July was 76F...and that 76F was still -6 (normal 82F) as the warmest day in the past 8 days. That's another pretty crazy stat for peak climo time of year. As Tippy likes to say, New England is in a world of its own relative to the rest of the country. Just this past week's departures.

CoastalWx Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 This has been a great July. Decent rains (about 4"). Great temps and stretches of some heat to enjoy water activities. The vegetation look from this time last year to now is night and day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's really only been a couple terrible days (the highs of 60F with 1" of rain days) but there have been an over-abundance of low-dew full sunshine days. A true Chamber type month for the most part....any July that averages 75/55 is pretty nice. I could've gone for a few days of hotter temps here and there (as those higher heat days make the Chamber days all that much nicer) to add some spice to the month, but overall very pleasant. July was much drier than June here locally...I think I'm around 4.25" for July but will have to double check. Plenty wet to keep the vegetation happy and garden nice, but not enough to swamp it like in June when we got 8-9" of rainfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today was something special...just like yesterday up here and same with Friday. All Top 10 type days with full sunshine and low dews, higher diurnal range type days. Can tell the airmass is dry as we just lost 10 degrees in 1 hour as the sun went down...from 73F to 63F from the 7-8pm obs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody is more comfortable in discusting heat and humidity compared to a perfect day like today. Because you want it to be HHH when you spend most of your time in an air conditioned environment, does not mean your body finds it more pleasant when you are exposed to it. Show me any old fashioned thermometer that shows 90s in the "comfort zone". Doesn't exist. There's a reason why heat advisories are issued for those conditions. They are not only uncomfortable, but downright dangerous for people with outdoor jobs or without AC. But the fraud wants warmth in April to save on utilities yet wants conditions that warrant the running of AC 24/7 all summer. I get it, if it's really hot, people want to see extremes met for records. No sane person wants that for months on end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not being disrespectful to you at all. I don't know how old you are but from reading your posts, you are probably a younger senior citizen. You also like hiking. You cannot tell me you prefer 90/70 to do an invigorating hike than 80/50. Besides sitting on a cool NE body of water, a normal human body is much more comfortable with the latter. Again, if you are in an AC environment all day and go out for a little bit and enjoy HHH, I get it. Show me a cop, fireman, utility worker, DPW, street vendor, construction worker that has no choice but to be out in the elements and there is no debating what is preferable and healthy.

Lol...young senior. I'm 70. When you're older, your joints love heat and your skin loves humidity. That said, if I'm going on a hike that requires some effort I prefer wx that enables me to keep going and not carry 5 liters of water. As far as folks working outdoors, particularly police and firemen who have hot uniforms, most like the general population prefer cooler and less humid but a minority probably prefer HHH. We are a cold and snow bb. Few of us lament the plight of outdoor workers in mid winter when we're high fiving each other on a cold day with snow on the way.

On the other hand, my little village is probably one of the most conservative in the state. Much of the Quabbin area is pretty red. I'm a fish out of water, but like my neighbors and fellow townsfolk for the most part. Anyone who picked this week for a vacation week just may have won the lottery for the summer. Just had another tremendous walk with the dog and wife. No humidity. Bugs are minimal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah this forum shouldn't be used as a normal barometer for preferred weather by the public. Probably at least 75% of the public hates cold/snow in the winter....but we love it. I don't mind a good solid heat wave once in a while either...though I def prefer the 75/55 days on average to the HHH days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
