Looks like they tied Somerville at 81 for warmest. LGA had no chance today with the steady NE wind blowing there all day.
Most other places came in at 80.
You do the mansions? The Breakers is amazing and then you can do the cliff walk.
Then check Ocean Ave and see if Kit's Kites is still there by Brenton Park. The kites are a little pricey but they are big and look great flying them there with the strong breeze.
I must be in some local hot spot, all the stations are close to 84 degrees.
The dewpoint is in the low 60s though, amazing how dry low 60s dewpoints can feel when they've been near 80 for days.
I think you're getting used to south Florida weather, the same way they complain that it's cold when it's 60 degrees. Just got used to the unprecedented moisture levels.
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.
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.
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.
