Select High Temperatures of 94° or above in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic (through 1 pm):

New York City-LGA: 96°
Boston: 95° (near the daily record)
Georgetown, DE: 95° (near the daily record)
Atlantic City: 94°
Baltimore: 94°
Manchester: 94° (near the daily record)
Newark: 94°
Providence: 94° (near the daily record)

New England is well-represented with Boston, Manchester, and Providence.

That's Norwood Airport ASOS.

And it is located in the Neponset River watershed swamp.  I take the commuter rail from the 128 station nearby, and the humidity is truly disgusting.  I like to bike to the train from Randolph (about 7 miles) in the summer, but I've really had to cut back this year.  I'd have to get there an hour before my train so I'd have time to stop sweating. :thumbsdown:

Down to 96.1F.  So today's 98.6F might be it.   Another question.  Are high temps rounded?  For instance if  a high is recorded higher than a .5F is it rounded up?  Would today's 98.6F be a 99F?  It would make sense if 1/10ths are rounded up or down to the nearest whole number.

There’s no tenths. It was probably just 98F...maybe an outside shot at 99F so far. But I’d lean 98F.

In my lifetime, Aug 1988 was always the warmest/most humid I could recall.

This has crushed that one

In part because the 2nd half of 1988 was about 12° cooler than the 1st.  That first 15 days vies with any similar-length period for heat and buries it for dews.  2nd half was mainly low-dew CoC.

90/75. Second time this summer I've actually notice breathing is a bit tougher than usual.

 May not be record temps but that is some special humidity right there. 

88/74 at my house.   The upper valley, for whatever reason, has escaped the nastiest heat but still pretty oppressive.

yes if you add humidity as hottest August ever I agree if you could quantify that for the "ever' record, that would be helpful, 3 days? Friday is 70/60 or so? But we recheck

I was living in Foxboro in1988.  The combo of heat and dews was brutal. I “feel” like the dews this month, plus this heat, has trumped that one....not sure how to quantify that
