Yesterday's high occurred very late in the day - my highest number was at 6:17pm!
I dunno - I'm already at 82.2. My 90 degree day barometer is in the 80s by 11am. Well past that threshold.
Edit: Wait, what? Today is your 1st AC day???
My goodness.
I received 3.42" of rain from Sandy. My station in no way is able to record wind speeds accurately but I do know for certain that we had hours of 50mph+ winds. I had to take many detours the following morning to work, trying to find a road that wasn't closed due to downed trees and power lines. WAY more than a thunderstorm here.
The main difference between Sandy and a thunderstorm was the duration of wind - sustained 40+ with gusts near 60 for several hours.
