Technically PWM temperature records only go back to 1940, but the threaded data goes back to 1870 something. July 1876 also average 73.1, but the thermometer was 82 feet up on Exchange Street so who knows how accurate that really is. So definitely the hottest official July and month for PWM, but unofficially tied for the hottest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Looks like ORH finished at 6th hottest July on record at the airport site (back to 1948)....9th hottest if you use the threaded data back to 1892. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If BOS was the only site that did it Scooter would be wandering around the Seaport chucking * at random strangers. It would be more believable if BOS had beat it by at least 1-1.5F (preferably more than 1.5F). Beating it by 0.7F with that MADIS graph though definitely gives it a * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STILL N OF PIKE Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 So PWM is hottest ever and Greenfield is + 4.2 and Taunton is 4.2 seems pretty clear this was a torch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH had a ton of + departures but only 2 that were double digit (the Hawt Weekend). I know it is hard to get +10s during the climo hottest month but was surprised by that. A bunch of +8 and +9s.

Actually there is some, but since I'm not diligent about removing the snow from the davis before it melts, my rainfall totals are not very accurate for the year. Meanwhile, won't be needing to mow or fertilize the lawn any time soon. The front yard is turning into a desert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I didn't track events under 2" (except for last October's 1.5 - well worth noting), the 66.7" in 2019's 2"+ storms held 7.98" LE. Little ones totaled 10.1" SN, probably another 1-1.5" LE, thus my 2019 rain is closer to 19" than the above 28.17". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s def a very unique climate in the hill towns of NE CT. Certainly it’s own little microclimate with idiosyncrasies within the region like you radiating in the valley between hills and me torching on radiation nights with wind , but much colder during CAA. We all kid around, but we live in one of the best spots in SNE. The only thing I think we fall short on is big severe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
