BOS and TAN up to 98F

Wow Brooklyn

There was a reason the higher-elevation NW burbs became popular for housing after the railroad but before AC. The adiabatic lapse rate is your friend.

These dewpoints are simply unacceptable at these temps. Qatar World Cup weather is not what we need for ours! The only acceptable place for such temps/dews is chasing Bangladesh and with a proper hodograph. Otherwise it ain't right anywhere! I figure with more thunderstorms the humidity will hold in. Now looks like at least low 90s highs drags into next week. Heat index will stay 100 to 105. Guess after about a week of 110 that'll start to feel normal though. Until then enjoy the long weekend. Happy 250 America!

WB 12Z RRFS is forecasting some storms on the 4th.

96 here in lindenhurst still but dewpoint down to 65, farmingdale airport up to 99.

Cool I’ll take a MCS .

I remember going to an evening Phills game on a day like this, 1999 I think. Even though the game started at 7:05, the Vet spent all day absorbing the heat and sunlight. Even after the sun had set, the stadium continued to radiate out all that heat like a cement oven for the entire game.

Not bad for a mid-summer easterly flow MCS. Usually 15% is it for wind. We'll see.

You did it Philly! Now go have a hoagie!

Dear god…100, 80 DP!, HI 122!!!

I have 99/75 at 1:30 pm

Honestly, 2015-16 was fine outside of December imo

Freezing here. 93.2

Who needs triple digit temps when it is 97 with a dp of 81? Gotta love the corn sweat on the shore. Feels like 121...

Some folks on my FB page were asking about thermometer siting after seeing some reports of 107 in my area while I am 92.6 I posted the below along with some guidance from the NWS. Some have questioned if they should allow their thermometer to receive direct sunlight. Per the NWS "Radiation Shield: "Never place a thermometer in direct sunlight" unless you have a louvered radiation shield and/or a fan aspiration unit (see my station photo below) My station does receive direct sunlight but I have both the shield and fan aspiration to ensure my reported temps are not sun inflated. Per the NWS "Use a slotted "beehive" or louvered radiation shield that blocks direct and reflected sunlight while allowing air to flow freely.Surrounding Terrain: The thermometer should sit over natural vegetation, such as grass, rather than over patios, artificial turf, or bare dirt.Clearance from Obstructions: Place the sensor away from structures. The distance between your thermometer and any nearby trees, buildings, or fences should be at least four times the height of the obstruction (e.g., if a tree is 20 feet tall, the sensor should be 80 feet away). Artificial Heat Sources: Keep the sensor at least 100 feet away from paved driveways, parking lots, and large concrete surfaces. Additionally, ensure it is far from artificial heat exhausts, such as furnace vents, chimneys, and air conditioning."

For our Delmarva friends:

And? Doesn't change anything. Records happen dry, wet and all in between

Heat indexes above 110 are nuts. Currently 113 heat index here, ranging from 112 to 115 last hour.

Yikes

March hasn't seen the north Pacific flip that boreal winter has over the past couple of years...it keeps reverting to +WPO. Like I said before, this isn't ALL a product of CC, but I'm sure it helps.

I didn't have the data in front of me...I just meant it should be pretty warm. Maybe +6 instead of +13, sure.
