No doubt - but those aren't indicative of all areas. I was forecast to reach the upper 90s the past 2 days and have not done so. In fact, the worst of the heatwave was to be the past 2 days, but Monday was the worst.
My comment/question was really intended to be more fun than critical. Maybe I'm looking for positives to help stay cool.
Even with all of the records that have already been set...is it fair to suggest that in some small way that the heat has actually underperformed just a bit?
The 97 on Monday was impressive. It seems like the past 2 days have fallen a little short of "what could have been."
For Lanco, MU is going 96-100 for today, 94-98 tomorrow, and 90-94 for Friday.
Currently in Maytown it's 88.3, which is the hottest it's been prior to 11am in 2023.
High yesterday in Maytown was 95, falling 2 degrees short of Monday's 97 reading. This morning's low was just 72.2.
18 days this year at or above 90, yesterday was the 5th day I reached at least 95.
Thank you! I forgot to mention that very thing. Every day during the summer season the beach patrol clears the water, regardless of surf conditions. It's sort of comical to watch people line up on the beach and head directly into the ocean the second that the beach patrol hits the boardwalk on their first steps off-duty.
Rehoboth Beach has informative signs posted at each public beach access point with diagrams and instructions for Rip Currents. Each individual still owns some responsibility to use and educate themselves.
Someone lost their life in a riptide in Rehoboth over the weekend. It happened 30 minutes after the RBP went off duty.
Fall swimming is potentially very dangerous with tropical activity offshore and unguarded beaches.
Yeah, not much mowing happening these days. My yard is worse (dead) than at any point this year. Driving around, it's striking just how brown everything is.
It is disgusting - my dewpoint was 62 at 4pm, it's now 70.
And this has to be close to uncharted territory...it was 84 degrees here at 7:30pm. At 8:45pm it's 86!
