Holding steady at 92/79 behind the “sea breeze front”

94 at 12:20

First time SMQ ever recorded a 110°+ heat index in June and has even risen to 115° in the last few minutes. https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/plotting/auto/?_wait=no&q=155&network=NJ_ASOS&zstation=SMQ&var=max_feel&w=all&threshold=100&hour=12&sdate=0101&edate=1231&month=jun&_r=t&dpi=100&_fmt=png https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=KSMQ&hours=72 Jun 23, 12:05 pm 97 79 57 115

WOW! Air you can wear out there! 12:15pm - 92.5 degrees, 79 degree dp, HI shows a 111! NASTY!

Not cooling down whatsoever here.

MAV now punching a 104 for OWD tomorrow. 101 for BOS.

Mini-splits here have used a total of 2.3kWh since midnight. keeping it very comfortable. I'm sure the ancient central AC that used to live here would have used many times that, especially with the attic ductwork.

Keeps getting more special. 87.5/78

90.3/77.3... Heat Index=104 fuck this shit Im going swimming

106 HI at DCA

I think there’s a little downsloping at play here too, I’m north of the terminal moraine which is over 300 feet in elevation, I know it’s nothing compared to other parts of the region, but what goes up must come down.

Nope, near the top of one of the bigger hills in the area. The closest water is a pond a few blocks away. Currently 93/86

12PM (times verified twic) ACY: 97 EWR: 96 New Brnswck: 95 PHL: 95 LGA: 94 TEB: 93 NYC: 92 TTN: 92 BLM: 91 JFK: 90 ISP: 89

It is just gross outside 93/76 should hit 98 today and 99 tomorrow.

You know... I dunno sometimes it seems sort of self-indulgent to run AC - in my case, the mini split sys. Yeah, it'd take care of it and I'd be all comfortable but I cannot stop myself from considering the ‘physical mathematics’ of it. What's the expense. First of all, cooling the air in here asks the grid for additional energy. The high efficiency of the mini split system, notwithstanding, it's still requesting the grid to provide. Which, generates that power (ultimately) by releasing more green-house gasses. In theory, this adds heat to the surrounding ambience' unrelenting efforts to raise the temperature inside the house ... Thus, the mini split automation necessarily works harder, and in doing so ... asks the grid for more energy. And one can see where this is going - feedback loop. Now, imagine that all households that can, are, doing the same ... to mention the enormous total load requirement when thinking about the total residential and non-residential environmentally controlled environments... suddenly, this is not such a "cooked" up morality issue - it really should be. To combat this cognitive dissonance … I find myself enduring the heat as long as I possibly can. I just looked at it and 80 was the point at which bead of sweat evidenced itself … at that point I figure it becomes a health and safety priority in the here-and-now. To make up for it though … I just don’t run the cooling setting on pedestrian summer days that often.

Truly special

91.6/80 HI 110° here at home at noon. Heat of yore but we want that hundo.

Oh boy

I hope so lol. That and it’s a Tuesday.

I remember going to the beach 7/3/66 and the sand was infernally hot. I think it was Bradley Beach near asbury park. On 8/2/75 (hot Saturday), I was living in the Piano Craft Guild apartments in the south end of Boston. No ac. Stewing in my own juices while trying to sleep. ACK hit 100 that day. The next day a major bd came through and late afternoon temperatures were in the low 60s.

wow, my highest HI was in July 2019 when it hit 99 both weekend days the HI was 117 on both days

Hum, at 11:55am my Davis at 2m in my field is showing 86.5F dew 77.3F. Maybe the highest dew ever? Probably the sun just baking the ground after yesterday's morning thunderstorm.

very similar to here, hovering between 91-92 after a high of 94 about 30 minutes ago. I wonder if the primary turnout for tomorrow will be suppressed because it will be the peak of the heat? mail in turnout has been pretty high though, especially in Brooklyn and Manhattan.

Bumped up to 94. That’ll likely be my high.

IWX kind of on an island issuing an Extreme Heat Warning but with the overnight lows being so incredibly warm, I think it’s the right call.
