This is one we pat each other on the back over, slap hi- fives and tell grandchildren about. An 80 dew is something deeply special

The only think heat-related I remember is back when I was at Fordham coming out of the bars at 1:00a.m. and the temp was still about 90*.

Other than that, I find heat and humidity utterly forgettable.

68/61 at home on Munjoy Hill, Portland

83/71 at home 25 miles away in North Waterboro

 Two summers ago I met a friend in Concord NH  to eventually make our way to Portland.  Temp was in the upper 80s as we drank a beer on his porch.   We got to Portland to see everybody walking the streets in long pants and jackets/sweatshirts as it was 62 and breezy.  Oops,  good lesson and always taking extra clothes with you.

You learn quickly once the sea breeze kicks in.

One bright mid-May day I went to Dept. of Corrections land in Warren-Cushing.  This was pre-Supermax, when it was just the Bolduc Unit and prison farm, and our agency was tasked with managing the woodlands.  Forecast for Augusta was 70s, and it was sunny and 60 with light winds as I departed from the vehicle in Cushing.  30 minutes later came a stiff breeze off the still-frigid ocean, with mid-40s temp and drippy fog.  Was not a very comfortable day in the woods - not one of my better decisions, either.

Going by temps/wind, looks like the ocean taint is reaching all the way to WVL.  Only 2 sites in Maine reporting HX 90+, IZG and FVE.  Not the grouping I'd expect.

Not a surprise for IZG kind of odd that only FVE is reporting that up that way, We dropped back 1°F down to 80°F here.

IZG,FVE,PQI,CAR all showing 85 at 3 PM, but dews, respectively, are 73,71,70,70.  HX probably 89 at the "drier" sites, thus not displayed on GYX obs table.
