All Activity

hopefully like the last one no sea breeze (at least for one or two days)

it might as well hit 100, there is no perceptible difference between 98, 99, 100....

WF moving north. Will be 70s and more humid this afternoon. Go cut some trees.

I grew up near Prospect Park, and spent my weekends playing frisbee in there growing up :-)

Earlier in the month had a bunch. But as usual, BN days are meager compared to how we run AN days.

No rain but heavy misery mist. Dropped into the '50s for a bit. Oh well, I've been told thatt mild for June and near normal.

Didn't 1966 have multiple 100+ degree heatwaves in quick succession? Based on the records, I counted three of them in less than 4 weeks.

Some of Richmond's hottest summers were also ours, fascinating how this kind of intense early heat was a harbinger of things to come in many of these historic summers.... Records:Highs:EWR: 99 (2021)NYC: 96 (1991)LGA: 96 (2021)JFK: 98 (2010) 2010: The maximum temperature today at the Richmond International Airport was 102 °F which not only broke the record high temperature for the date, but was close to the 104 °F record maximum for the month of June. Both June 27th and 28th had a maximum temperature 102 °F. Richmond has never had back to back 100 °F plus days before in June. Only three June days have been hotter: (June 30, 1937 103 °F) (June 19, 1944 103 °F) (June 26, 1952 104 °F ) June 2010 also had 19 days of 90 °F or hotter temperatures the record was 20 in 1943. The Richmond International Airport reported the mean temperature for June was 81.1 °F which was a new 113 year record. This breaks the old record of 79.2 °F set in 1943 and was a +8.7 °F departure from average. June had 8 new daily temperature records and all were for heat. (Ref. Richmond Weather Records - KRIC) 2010: Richmond, Virginia, set record for the most days in June reaching 102 degrees F (June 24, 27, and 28). (Ref. Weatherwise U.S. Weather Highlights of 2010 page 8 ) also looks like the extensive heat of 1980 started in Texas around this time before moving north and east. 1980 - The temperature at Wichita Falls, TX, soared to 117 degrees, their hottest reading of record. Daily highs were 110 degrees or above between the 24th of June and the 3rd of July. (The Weather Channel)

wow I wish there were more streets like this, this looks like something from Italy.

And this ladies and gentlemen is what we call "tempting fate"

Yeah I noticed that, was thinking you may have just missed out on everything. I’d really like to mow before it gets brutal out this afternoon but everything is just too wet right now. Maybe I can sneak it in around noon before the clouds start to break and heat up. I’ll be watching the visible satellite closely this morning ha.

Thank you B W. I’ll walk the street to see if I can make a match. The church spire in some of the photos is interesting. The two spires remaining in the neighborhood are St Paul’s on Court Street and Sacred Hearts on Hicks Street. There were others, with the spires now removed. My block, Tompkins Place was once gated and cobble stoned. Some of the old stones can still be found in back yards, retrieved and used for doorstops, way back. When I was clearing my cellar I found a portion of the original 19th century floor which was rough stone, not cobble, the lally columns were brick. These were the wealthy upper middle class houses. The ones on Court Street had dirt floor cellars and tree trunk lally columns. Some of those natural wood support columns, I believe, still exist today. Thank you again, stay well, as always ….

Same, mucking up outdoor work plans for this morning

big jump toward an eastern ridge

Yeah. Light mist and drizzle for a couple of hours but not showing on radar. Looks like it will clear out slowly.

It’s been raining all morning with not one blip on radar

I'd call it summer lol. Heatwave is over and temps look normal for a while. I'm doing some last minute gardening before summer cranks back up.

BOS has had 14 BN days during the month of June 13 AN Overall +2.0F. Last Sunday-Thursday really hammered the AN home

How many BN days

64 here as well. Minus exactly half an inch of rain. Rain shield abruptly stopped just west-northwest of Mount Joy yesterday.

Went down to Popham after dinner last night.....a special place. Meanwhile, today's weather blows. Down to 56 and RN+

Still cloudy, damp and cool here this morning. Enjoying the last of it with a cup of Joe in the backyard before the furnace turns back on.

55° DZ FG Not a promising look for warmth later up here given the 13z temps across the region.

One of my favorite spots in New England. Spent many a summer on the New Meadows River. Spectacular weather. Popham Beach, phippsburg, bath, love it.

Its a shit place. In general, Maine sucks. It is what it is
