Do you even know how to read a thermometer?

I just checked NOWData for KMGJ and don't see any heat waves in that data either so maybe I'm over thinking my station and location, I dunno.

Yeah, I checked, no heat waves yet this year. I'm thinking there are two factors contributing to that. 1) The river and wetlands around me, the added humidity keeps the temps down a touch. 2) I installed a Davis VP2 with 24-Hour Fan Aspirated Radiation Shield last September. The Vantage Vue is a nice PWS but I had thoughts it ran high on certain sunny days with no wind and maybe this helps to confirm that? Here are the Summers I've been here and how many heat waves each summer, note I had a Davis Weather Montior II through the summer of 2011, then the Davis Vantage Vue from Summer 2012-Summer 2019, now the VP2:

Delightful morning, made it to 50 IMBY, KMGJ, just up the road, got down to 47.

Agreed. My dew will always run high because of the Wallkill and wetlands around me.

And the Euro backed down at both yesterday’s 12z and last nights 0z on the heat from the blazing 0z run yesterday. Still hot, sure, but may not even get a heat wave out of it around here. I have to go through my stats, not sure if I’ve had any official heat waves this summer despite it being a warm one.

Im sitting right at 50, KMGJ is at 48.

It was an interesting first week of Oct here in 2019... 10/2/19: High of 87 10/5/19: First Frost of the Season

That has nothing to do with COVID, you ain't foolin' me!

Vivid lighting and booming thunder around 2am woke me up despite the AC and a fan running which typically drowns out all other noise, lasted 20-30 minutes, picked up .65”

I agree, COVID has screwed up the passage of time for me as well, I'm usually fired up for fall starting around now but this year I don't know what day, week, month, or season it is, and that has nothing to do with beer consumption. I find that interesting as following the weather is one of the few hobbies I have that COVID has not affected in one way or another but its still hard to believe we are in mid August already. As far as the back of summer being broken, that is clearly subjective. In my mind, breaking the back doesn't mean no more hot days or warm evenings as it appears to mean to others, it means we get some breaks in that, like this morning with a fresh air feeling 57 for the low IMBY. I have no doubt my AC's will be fired up again this season, probably this weekend, but at least the streak of running AC is broken for me as we look forward to some really nice, windows open, nights this week.

That’s why I go to Hatteras Island OBX every couple of years, I don’t like the beach enough to have people all around me. When and where we go if there is another party set up within 50 feet of you it’s a busy day, that’s how I like to beach.

It’s working as slow as it normally is for me.

Well it hasn’t rained since I got it online....maybe tomorrow...need a shift north. Got it registered with CWOP this week too for what that’s worth. Thanks for asking and thanks from your help.

Just saw some video of it on Reed Timmers page, wow.

I did get to New Hampshire for a weekend in February but that’s it. Labor Day weekend I typically go to Vermont with my buddies for a guys weekend as Mt Snow has their Brewers Festival but it’s cancelled, thanks COVID-19. The last time we missed it was when Irene canceled it. It’s always a good time and it’s a rite of passage for us into the start of fall as we enjoy the cooler mountain air...and lots of beer and debauchery...oh well.

Lovely photo. Northern New England does late summer well pretty much every year. Oh, and don’t forget the sunblock...

Now you’re going to fire up the hot weather weenies

And now you have become a foundation for this forum along with @donsutherland1 and @uncle W likely causing others to join and get involved unlike myself...causing people to put me on block LOL. Best wishes Unc!

A bead of sweat formed on my brow just reading this, thats miserable, glad you found some relief.

@Juliancoltonstill have fireflies here...you?
