We sun and Stein.  Special special. 

We missed out down here yesterday, only some sprinkles. Today again looks like 84 N and W, maybe northern Windham near Mass line gets storms again. 
 

Humid as balls, but some relief is on site the end of next week

Moderate rain to the north, heavy rain to the south, 0.01" here.  Less tha 0.4" in the past 8 days, no issues yet but if we miss the current systems the garden may be stressed.

On that subject, this coming week we snip the terminals on the tomatoes, to help ensure the growth gets focused on fruit rather than greenery.  Even if we have to wait into October for 1st frost (like 2 of the past 3 years after just 1 in the previous 23), the cooler temps and shorter days tend to grow leaves more than food.

12 mile run with upper seventies dews. One star review. Would not recommend.

:huh:

uh yeeeah, it'd be kind of ironic that an activity whose benefit is in part life longevity led directly to a Darwin Award.

Lake Champlain bath water...

Weird you mention that. I live between two large reservoirs. All summer when I went over the causeway the temperature in my car would drop two or three degrees. Not anymore...

Unfortunately I can no longer run.  But I walk…a lot.  However between the dews and ultraviolet and the fact that my wake up time is pretty late I walk many miles just about every night.   There literally hasn’t been a walk this summer that didn’t leave me drenched in sweat.  It’s been epic tbh.

It’s just summer. It’s supposed to be as hot and humid as possible . The storms aspect certainly plays a part too. You want the season to perform as the season. 80 with a dry dewpoint isn’t summer. You swim you freeze . At night you have to wear a long sleeve . Our summers are all going to be like this from now on. 

I absolutely love it.  When I was in my teens/twenties, it bothered me.  Not so today.

Kids indoors at the Cape. LFG

I remember those bad summer weeks.  Movie theaters and the Hyannis mall.  Then my mom dressed us up like the Gordan's fisherman and sent us out on the boardwalk at Bass Hole to do some crabbing with chicken skins and butcher's twine.

As a youngster I didn’t love it like I do now . Back then we didn’t get many humid days. Humid then was a dew of 66. Now dews of 73-78 is normal for all of New England from mid June into mid September.

Probably because we had better peripheral/capillary blood flow back then, so we were more sensitive to the heat.  There are some old people who dress up like Siberians in this weather.

Ha we all used to argue about 59F vs 62F being considered a humid day or a dry one.  Now it’s just like 65+ for weeks on end.

Can't deny that dews are getting higher, but "all of New England"?  I'd leave NNE out of that statement (except for ASH).

My average summer low is in the 50s and I can’t even get a dew that low anymore.

Why is this something to celebrate?
