  1. Past hour
  2. The high dew point and smoke combo this evening is terrible!
  3. 5 straight days under -34 is pretty impressive 16 Jul 2026 1013.27 1018.25 -36.50 -25.58 -18.73 15 Jul 2026 1012.10 1017.65 -40.01 -24.45 -18.16 14 Jul 2026 1011.36 1016.35 -36.56 -23.53 -17.62 13 Jul 2026 1010.44 1015.10 -34.53 -23.20 -17.20 12 Jul 2026 1009.89 1015.20 -38.53 -23.21 -16.92 It looks like the last time the 30-day was below -30 was 1983. We are -25.58 Since 1905 30 day has only hit -30 twice. 4x since 1876.
  4. Just went outside for the first time since about 3pm and I can definitely smell the smoke.
  5. I have a Kohler 22KW whole house generator (2013) no issues, has about 310 hrs. on it. I do annual service on it, have replaced the battery every 3-4 years.
  6. Power back on here at 7:10 PM. I hit a couple of détours trying to get back to Flying Pond on 41 from Farmington due to downed trees and wires.
  7. That cell is incredibly unusual. Vis down to less then a mile now at jones beach .
  8. We’ll likely exceed 1997’s 72 days, which would put it as 2nd longest on record (back to 1991). But #1 (from 1998) is way up at 100 days. I have no idea if it will get that high. With that still being 33 days away, it would be quite awhile before I could even try to forecast whether or not it will be reached. Since that would be quite the accomplishment, I feel chances are well under 50% as of now. Let’s see how things go.
  9. Had to play a 6 hour round of golf for a golf outing/fundraiser today. Horrific
  10. Even with the smoke and a wind off of the lake, both ORD and MDW hit 91° today.
  11. Even with the smoke and a wind off of the lake, both ORD and MDW hit 91° today. ...2026 90°+ Day Tally... 10 - MDW 10 - ARR 9 - ORD 9 - RFD 9 - LOT 8 - PWK 8 - UGN 7 - DPA
  12. At just before 8PM, I started getting mainly light to occasionally moderate rain. The relevant convection had developed nearby as a result of an E moving outflow boundary colliding with the seabreeze front. But what had been a heavy thunderstorm weakened by the time it started here. So, whereas this is measurable, it still isn’t much.
  13. How is it looking? You’re pretty good at guessing what the SOI will be in the coming days. Will we break the record?
  14. Almost like 2023 with the red glow during the sunset and through the smoke.
  15. From our bedroom in Mt. Airy, Philadelphia... between the smoke, the heat, and dew points hovering between 75-80 the word oppressive does not even do today justice!
  16. Sunset here… I can smell the smoke.
  17. forkyfork explained to me that those storms are caused by a smoke-induced differential heating boundary
  18. From our bedroom window... 95 here in Philadelphia today... and with the smoke, plus dew points hovering between 75-80 this afternoon it was absolutely miserable.
  19. Yesterday
  20. Today, we made it to 67 straight -SOI days, which puts the current streak in 3rd place back to 1991! So, this one is behind only two from the 1997-8 Nino. Reaching and possibly exceeding 2nd place ‘97’s 72 days is likely as of now. How long will it go?
  21. That’s been the biggest issue/ complaint of the majority of posters here and they refuse to change or fix it . My guess is it would be would cost them to upgrade so they’d rather not do it
  22. It’s noticeably worse here. 178 up in York. Air now has red boundary right at the md pa line
  23. I work for AC Power Solutions in SE MA. We install and service whole house Generac generators. I have also installed many Kohler generators as well. I don't have a preference for brand. But I would definitely recommend just doing the whole house and not dedicated circuits. It might be a little more expensive but it's way more convenient
