12Z RRFS targets a narrow area from SE NY into SW CT. Lets wash away Oxford again.

It's 96 with a dewpoint of 76. Heat Index is 112. Seems a bit high for a mere heat advisory Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

Now up to 97 here, the third hottest temperature of the year (after the 100+ readings in June) and the hottest in July so far!!! Not only are there no clouds today there's no sea breeze either!!!

Tomorrow night but yes. The mesos generally agree that there will be a 3-6" bullseye somewhere between Philly and NYC with everyone else getting 1-2".

Yes, I saw the NWS put out a video about it. I wonder if there's a way to find out what the WBGT was in some of our bigger heatwaves (including this one and the one back in June). It also reminds me of the newer EF scale for tornadoes.

Does WBGT give a *this is what this temperature feels like to an average person* kind of reading? From what I saw, it was an index that goes up to 90? It's a little different.

Good soaker CT into BOS. Well north of mesos. Not sure I buy that area as the jack.

Yes it factors in sun angle, wind speed and amount of cloudiness too. It can be directly measured with instruments.

Think the Completion of the HREF showed as much as 10" MAX in NJ!!

Congrats CT on the 12z Euro

Yeah, the heat index tends to underestimate the heat compared to WBGT. https://perryweather.com/resources/heat-index-wet-bulb-globe-temp/ When it comes to measuring heat, not all conditions are created equal. The heat index only accounts for shady areas, giving a false sense of comfort, while the wet-bulb globe temperature (WBGT) is designed for areas exposed to the sun, offering a more accurate reflection of how the body actually experiences heat. The heat index ignores the brutal realities of direct sunlight, hot surfaces, and even physical exertion. Here’s why that’s a problem:

Euro keeps backing off Fridays rain

Yea but looking at WBGT, doesn't that actually make numbers hotter compared to HI?

So long it doesn't visit me in Kitty Hawk Outer banks I am fine. I will be there August 2nd to August 9th.

No one ever references dewpoints when talking about hot temps. They reference 90 degree temps like you said. Plus we will probably switch to wbgt within a few years which measures real feel much much better than the outdated method now. Kind of how they switched wind chill measurements in 2001. 93

95 by me dp 68.

I just looked through your graphs and it looks like 1949 was really hot too (mins even higher than 1983 and the maxes were right behind 1983), you shared the graph for 1983, what was going on in 1949 that made it so hot?

It's really hard to average that high over a month because all it takes is a few days below average and a bunch of days near average and then even if 20 out of 30 days were a decent amount above normal at night your average gets dragged down. The latest average low in July at LGA is 72. For example if you have 5 lows at -2 departure , 5 days at 0 departure, 10 days at +3 departure and 10 days at +5 departure, even though most lows were very warm the whole month's lows comes out to +2.3 degrees. Central Park's average July low is 70 so for them it's significantly harder to have any monthly average low of 76. LGA is currently 73.2 degrees for the average monthly low despite the heat.

I've read a few articles that the Os could be in on starters with team control beyond this year. I doubt it happens but you never know I guess. The Os will need to be busy in the off season for starting pitching. With Eflin,Sugano and Morton all gone this week or at the end of the season they've got some work to do.

Yes this strong signal from so far away makes it more concerning.

The max is currently around 5th-6th warmest for July. The min is in 1st place just ahead of 2010. The AVG is in 3rd place behind 2010. The heat index which takes into account the dew points set a new July record this month at 91.5° vs 90.0° in July 2010. So the drier heat back in July 2010 made it feel slightly cooler.

Thought this looked cool, though, up in Hazleton.

It's hot but not disgusting out here, 91/67

It’s similar to how I had 6.5” in like 3 hrs here. I think it’s hard in the summer if you’re relying on 850-700 stuff to deliver the goods. Give me a 30kt+ LLJ at 925 ripping over the WF.

Now I noticed a few more things-- 1949 (JFK's second year of history) was the only July that averaged 85+ degrees for the max until July 1983, talk about a predictor for summers to come!! It's still in the top 10 (9th place) and 1983 is still in 3rd place!! for *feels like* 1983 is in 4th place behind the three I had already mentioned and 1949 is just behind it in 7th place!! for mins 1949 is even hotter than 1983?? Neither of them are in the top 5 but both are in the top 10 of all Julys, number 9 and number 10 actually!!
