HoarfrostHubb Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 High of 82F here in August. OMG!!! Overall temps so far this summer have been very much AN. My pool temps attest to that. 3 90+ days here. I think 92 was my highest. Mostly good pool weather. Lots of AC use No record highs though 1988 I didn’t live here but that still sits in my memory as the most miserable summer for me temp wise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Discounting a summer a not hot b/c there wasn't records seems kinda silly...that's like discounting snow winter as snowy b/c it didn't produce a historic snowstorm or a snow event that dropped above"x" inches. Perhaps we didn't have record high's...perhaps some of the top climo stations didn't obtain impressive thresholds of certain temperature readings...but IMO duration is much more impressive than a daily record. And the duration of the warmth this summer was quite impressive. Once that switch flipped in late June or early July we just didn't look back. Hell, we couldn't even buy a legit cold front to move through...at our latitude that is quite impressive (even for summer). The consistency of days pushing 85-90 was quite impressive. Even during our "hot" summers we tend to get days of crap mixed in. Those were very few and far between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And honestly I feel like I've heard that argument here... above normal snow but lacking in a true signature 12"+ event so meh.

Yup...this is why it's best to go with science and not personal opinion. If the science says its hot...then its hot. If Uncle Jo doesn't think it's hot...well than more power to Uncle Jo but what Uncle Jo thinks doesn't alter the facts.

We remember singular events more than a constant drumbeat of whatever in most cases.

Sorry heat weenies. Yeah the conversation devolved from "The hottest summer of your life" to "They don't think it was a hot summer." Those are two very different things. I do think there's an area in central New England that missed the record NNE torches early on, and then also failed to get into the BDL/TAN heat during the second half of the summer. Probably like Hippy to Hubb Dave to your area seemed to be more moderate in both cases when the heat was far NNW over the top, and then again when it was valley torches south of the Pike.

weatherwiz Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 During the month of June (I think it was June) when SNE had that period of being under the influence of the mid-Atlantic cut-off lows and NNE was torching...had that not happened BDL would probably easily be near 45 90F days and you could probably tackle on several more for PVD...maybe a few for ORH and perhaps BOS too.

Sorry heat weenies. Yeah. I just told kevin I’d remember this summer as hot. But not like 2010-2012 years when we were busting out 95s and 96s at ORH. Same reason people don’t remember a 23/-10 day with calm winds and radiational cooling as colder than a 14/0 day with ripping CAA. The “Science says” the 23/-10 Day was colder but nobody is going to remember it like that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The “Science says” the 23/-10 Day was colder but nobody is going to remember it like that. I have no evidence to back this up, but for the summer temperature rank (high, top 5) at many sites there seemed to be a lack of heat headlines from the NWS. At least up here, I feel like 2017 had more heat advisories up at BTV, as that was also a top tier summer. I know Snowman is good at finding number of advisories/warnings stuff like that, but it would be interesting to see how this year compared to other years in NWS headlines.
