  1. I've only been to Aruba in the off season, three times in July. The constant strong breeze makes the weather bearable.
  2. I was going to joke how NYC's urban heat island has expanded to a third the size of the United States because only concrete apparently is responsible for elevated lows (nevermind the fact that UHI has been baked into the averages for decades) but your post is very informative so I didn't want to reduce it down to a joke. Just give me lower dewpoint temps PLEASE, I'll take mid 90s until the end of August if I can just keep dews under 55.
  3. All these years (20+) on weather forums and this is the first time I'm hearing about the WBGT.
  4. I personally don't look at the heat index, I just go by the dewpoint number. I already know exactly how every dewpoint temperature feels to me, so I know what to expect. I also take into account if it's cloudy, if it's really breezy, etc.
  5. What's crazy for me is how little mosquitoes have been an issue where I am. Usually they're harassing me when I water the plants but so far they've been kind of absent.
  6. Bro I don't need any instruments lol, I went outside for about an hour and it's already vile Aruba dewpoints without the beaches or scenery or breeze.
  7. It's sickening, you can't enjoy anything outdoors.
  8. As long as we're posting random days here is next week Tuesday and Wednesday:
  9. Ironically out of the last 4 days today is the clearest, sunniest day at the beach
  10. He should be good for a few hours at least it seems
  11. @Brian5671, more rain, higher dewpoints and minimums, more clouds, overall higher temperatures AND @FPizz can't generate as much electricity? Sounds like a nightmare bro, that last point about his solar panels not producing dividends for @FPizzkeeps me up at night.
  12. See all the sneaky ways climate change has impacted you lol
  13. Eh. When I say not good I don't mean unclean. I just mean it's always wavy. It's ocean facing after all. It's also not as crystal clear and most of the time you have to travel a distance to get to the sea. I've been to many beaches on the south shore and barrier islands. They're all very similar in terms of style and type. My biggest gripe is with the breaking waves which come with wind present or not. They're always there.
  14. To be fair all these ocean facing beaches kind of suck unless you're a surfer or something. In summer growing up I would spent the whole of July and August in Greece with family. Calm crystal clear water, low humidity, and maybe you'd see rain two or three times the whole two months. The weather and beaches here are not that good sadly.
  15. Florida weather without the Florida beaches. What a lose lose that is lol
  16. And just as I typed that it started raining again :/
  17. Sadly I'm in Jersey where the drizzle and mist only stopped like 15 minutes ago and still looks gloomy and wet
  18. By mid day my kids don't want to go the beach lol We like to go early, like 10AM
  19. Yea this just enough to make outdoor activities miserable but not provide any rain deficit relief.
  20. Low clouds are fine. There were lots of clouds around yesterday where I am but we still got a beach day in. Today's it's raining on the shore.
  21. Meanwhile what is this crap outside? I didn't expect this dreary mess out there today. And of course it's a Sunday.
  22. Everyone's lows are up, it's a result of the higher average dewpoint. So maybe you used to get in the low to mid 60s and now you get in the mid to upper 60s. You just didn't cross the arbitrary threshold of "70" so it looks less dramatic on paper. No one is immune to the higher average lows since rural or urban the higher dewpoints ruin it for all of us.
