Bad day for the IWX radar to be down

half a meter.

Aug 1944 What a stretch

It's why I have the guy on ignore. Him posting his climate stats and obs here, would be the equivalent of me doing it in the Mid Atlantic forum. Now I do post from time to time in the Philly thread, but I'm five miles from Carbon and 8 miles from Lehigh, so sometimes I cross over. Plus...I was born and raised in Bethlehem, so I feel a kindred spirit with those guys down there.

I'm glad we didn't bust.

First time in 85 years per Oceanwx earlier in the thread.

You didnt reach 100. You reached 99.8. Why are we rounding an exact measurement.

development of Typhoon Bavi (now 125 kt)

My power just went out for a few seconds and came back on.

Central Park so far today, 98/84. My Brooklyn area, now 101. I had to be out for definitive reasons today. I fully/personally understand why this kind of heat is not a great look for the elderly. Stay well Rob and all the entire Interior crew. As always ….

101F/DP 75F at 3:05pm. About the same temp as yesterday at this time. DP may be a little lower. Underachiever...

104 so far

New brnsck : 103 EWR: 102

My account was hacked.

100+ on the barrier islands is nuts.

Just hit 105 IMBY. Just going outside makes me tired and I want to fall asleep.

Oh by the way. The 4-day stretch at Detroit ties with 4 other years for 27th hottest on record max temp wise (i recall reading on here previously that we decided to ditch low temps because they run colder now)

So multiple things can be true, and your post is also misleading on several points... 1. Yes, Detroit did see its most consecutive number of 95*F+ temps (2) in this stretch since 2011. Yes, it's currently 92*F and the heating cycle for today is technically not over, but as dewpoints begin to pool upward for the remainder of the day after mixing down to the mid/upper 60s ahead of the MCV over Lake Michigan, DTW will likely fall short of 95*F todsy. 2. Coverage-wise, it is/was certainly the most expansive heatwave since 2012. *HOWEVER* 2. Your claim that it's the warmest stretch since 2011 is debatable at best. Definitely true in terms of overnight lows, but terms of duration for 90*F+ highs (6 days) ans warmest daytme high (99*F), that distinction goes to 6/27 - 7/2 in 2012. 3. Relative to the aggressive highs in the model outputs, the forecast highs in the NWS grids as well as the duration of this heatwave that was originally projected (which was at least through the weekend versus ending today), this event was a bust. There's no getting around that.

BOS 100 back to back

Jeff's one of my favorite meteorologists, but I don't know where he's getting this El Nino supercharges heat domes idea. Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems like developing strong El Ninos have almost always brought cooler, wetter conditions. Case in point, look at 1972. On this date, the HIGHS were commonly 55-59 across northeast Ohio and western Pennsylvania. Can you imagine if that happened today?

Breeze has been noticeable here and making a difference today.

100 on my pws. Still some time to beat yesterday's 101.7.

I'm interested to see if the new Euro will light up in the tropical western Pacific since it was BN last month and only slightly AN in the eastern Pacific.

1st 100 degree reading here on the island in SIC since I have had a station 2012
