Overall, besides the 1980s, it has been a pretty rare occurrence for 125 years. Glad we can still pull it off.

This years leaf color should be pretty dull if at all.

Coldest August morning in 38 years. Could do it again Saturday morning.

Here you go:

The low dews are a god send. Any dew above 60 should be criminalized

Downtown jersey city. The closer you are to Manhattan the more intense the UHI is. I doubt Manhattan dropped below 62.

43.9°F here, Was colder last week.

No, but I'm sure they probably hit it more often. I'm sure one of the stat guys here have it at their fingertips

It’s fake cold and fake warmth with these desert dews

You watch…There will be a veritable conga line of storms once that feature goes away (southerly flow)

54 for the low with radiative mid 40s near marydel/woodside sandtown dump area

48° here

46 this morning.

Where are you? I dropped to 55 degrees in east Queens. Doesn't matter much because temps shot up to the low to mid 70s already, I'm actually surprised it got that warm that quick. Kind of a bummer.

On the plus side, it will be the hottest summer on record in the UK. The UK Met Office needs to brace for some unhinged comments from social media users. For some of these guys, 1976 will always be king no matter how hot recent summers are. You can already see some of the trolls from across the pond recycling the same nonsense as the trolls here about airport tarmacs and jet engine blasts: I suspect the CONUS will slot in around 12th place overall, and warmer than any pre-21st century summers except 1934 & 1936, but I guess that's a big victory for the trolls these days. I've already been called out by the usual suspects for not providing a list of record lows. In reality, I'm just trying to take a break from the trolls!

You got the stats for before 2000?

Looking back at temperatures this month, I think this might be the best August this area has seen in terms of thwarting hot/humid conditions since the summer of 2014. Lows in the area will remain near to below normal for the next 10-14 days leading to some spectacular starts to the days ahead. Will gladly accept after what was a MISERABLE late-June and July.

we didn't even try

Disaster month north of CON into the Lakes Region % of normal

This has just been a brutal stretch though. Here is where we were for summer to date through the 15th of the month: And here is where we are now projected to finish:

What's interesting the last few days is that despite the seemingly random radar patterns, the distribution of heavy rain seems non-random- the places that get a lot of rain one day tend to get a lot on subsequent days. Would be interesting to see a cumulative map. We got another 0.07" for a total of 0.40" for the 5-day period.

The Overseas Highway and the Keys is on my bucket list.

0.54” here MTD. 0.50” of that was 1 day.

48.2 glorious degrees this morning! Was a chilly and delightful walk!

Please, please let it be nice when I get home. 2 weeks of ridiculous heat (I mean, I asked for it by choosing to come down here in August) and now I'm ready for a break from this. We've been to the Everglades, Miami and the keys. The Overseas Highway did not disappoint. Quite a contrast from Mammoth Lakes but I've enjoyed them both equally. Heading north tomorrow.
