Freezing here. 93.8

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.

I’m in the Reqding area waiting for the Big Boy!

Shocking but l will take my trophy nonetheless

98.2 currently at both my stations.

Even if its off by a few degrees, these DP's are no joke added with this heat. It feels pretty close, if not dead on from last year's heat wave in late-June. Oppressive

Baltimore Inner Harbor (KDMH) hits 100°

I’ve been seeing dews over 80 out here that way in eastern Loudoun. I’m skeptical, but many other pws show the same. Maybe it’s more or less correct? If so, wow…

na, it was just a horrible md and outlook adjustment. nothing supported it, not even the wofs that they specifically referenced. the area was capped, there was no boundary nor anything to force development across eastern iowa or northern illinois.

Can confirm. Dew points in the upper 70s to low 80s over here. It's NASTY

EWR had 102° for 10 min...lol

He seems like the guy who counts driving his truck and walking inside from a parking lot as "working outside".

Back for one more year of disappointment I see https://russianmachineneverbreaks.com/2026/07/02/alex-ovechkin-return-washington-capitals-contract-one-year-retirement/ https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2026/07/capitals-sign-alex-ovechkin-to-one-year-contract.html#ref=home

As of 1 pm, the following areas have set new records: Atlantic City (101°); Poughkeepsie (99°), and Wilmington, DE (101°). The following locations have tied records: Manchester (95°) and Providence (98°). The following locations have also hit 100° and are approaching records: Harrisburg (100°), New York City-JFK Airport (100°), Newark (102°), and Philadelphia (100°). Central Park has reported a high of 98° so far. The statistical model (r2=0.941) based on the pre-tree overgrowth period has an implied 101° reading there.

100 here as of 1PM.

Just up the road, Wilmington, DE hits 101°.
