Recent article I saw on it from Matt Noyes. If you want warm water come to the sound. Water temps have been around 80 for the last 2 weeks here. https://www.nbcboston.com/weather/stories-weather/why-is-the-ocean-water-so-cold-near-the-north-shore-this-summer/2776675/

$600 MWH is nothing compared to whats coming this winter. Natural gas futures are at record highs this incoming winter...

Bad sensors. I'm sure the sensor crew will come and talk about it soon...

GON is making up for the disappointment with another 90 for the high today.

81/72. Nice launch for some big heat and dews

89/72. The dews have been spectacular. Feels like Miami here on the shoreline.

78/72. The overnight lows here on the shore have been an absolute furnace. I live in an all solar electric house and track my cooling degree days. I'm close to +100 on CDD mtd. Average CDD for HVN is 192 mtd and they are currently at 286. HVN is also +4 for temperature departures this month.

HVN is 90/79. https://mesowest.utah.edu/cgi-bin/droman/meso_base_dyn.cgi?stn=Khvn&unit=0&timetype=LOCAL

Some extra special dews down here this morning. Just hit a dew of 80. 88/80 HVN reporting 88/79.

Just spectacular dews and heat here this morning. 82/76 at my house already.

What a furnace there overnight.

The lightning out on the sound today has been insane. I think someone said they saw 400 strikes a min at one point.

What an overnight furnace. 79/75

You need some solar panels on that roof. If the back is facing south you have a perfect roof pitch and zero shade. You would kill it with solar production. Speaking of solar production. Looks like July is heading for another record production month. July has been basically 13 straight sunny days with the last 7 days being clear sunny maximum production days. April, May, and June of this year were record months for production. Its been exceptionally sunny here the last few months.

Congrats Texas. I also read they broke records for highest electricity demand. Of the ten possible heat records yesterday (high minimum temperature and high temperature at five first order climate sites), we managed to tie or break nine of them! Here`s a quick summary: Climate Site | Min Temp | Record High Min Temp (Year) ---------------------------------------------------------- City of Houston | 82 | 81 (2009) Houston Hobby | 81 | 80 (2020) Galveston | 85 | 83 (2021) College Station | 80 | 80 (2009) Palacios | 84 | 83 (2020) Climate Site | Max Temp | Record High Temp (Year) ----------------------------------------------------- City of Houston | 105 | 101 (1998) Houston Hobby | 104 | 100 (1964) Galveston | 96 | 96 (1931) College Station | 111 | 109 (1917) Palacios | 95 | 99 (2005) As astute followers of Southeast Texas climate will know (or anyone who takes a quick glance at the tables should be able to infer), record high min temperatures in this area have fallen at a pretty rapidly clip this century. The afternoon high temperature records have not been falling at quite the same pace, so to have a day where so many records at both ends of the day fall really speaks to just how extreme this July 10 is in the historical record. To really drive it home, College Station`s high of 111 is the second highest max temperature on record, going back to 1888. It is only one degree off the all-time record high temperature for the city, which was recorded on September 4, 2000. It is the hottest July day on record for College Station, eclipsing the 110 mark last seen on July 11, 1917. Houston`s 105 degree mark matches the July record mark, last seen July 26, 1954. However, it is not the hottest mark so early in the year, as June 29, 2013 did reach 107. It also is "only" the 17th hottest day in the official record for the city. Hobby`s 104 degree high does put it in the top 10 all time, tying it for 8th. But it is neither a record mark for July, nor for so early in the year, as it fell one degree short of July 8, 1939 (and also June 29, 2013). Persistent onshore flow meant that while Galveston still saw a daily record today, it fell fairly far down the all-time record ledger. Its high of 96 is not good enough for even the top 50 all- time, and only good for tenth on the list of July records. This is mainly because the really extreme days at Galveston tend to come when onshore winds are suppressed, and can really spike when offshore westerlies can advect some hotter, mainland air over the Island. Finally, newcomer Palacios just couldn`t keep pace with the more established first order climate sites. It did manage to set a new record high minimum temperature yesterday, but fell four degrees short of its record high from 2005. Like Galveston, Palacios` location very near the water likely moderated afternoon highs slightly, keeping the site from really threatening those record highs.

Was pretty warm on the CT coast today with some good dews most of the day. High temps. HVN 89 GON 88 BDR 87

Pretty crazy fireworks gone wrong video.

82/73 here.

@powderfreak Rubbermaid industrial and supposedly bear proof trash can was easily defeated. Its been a very active summer here in Northern NJ with bears at our lake cabin.

Sea breeze just kicked in here as well and it's setting up for a stunning evening.

@Damage In Tolland he knows how to rage it. Magic mushrooms with Stein...

Yep. Its set to cryogenic according to my wife at 65. I'm from Sweden and she's from VT so it balances out. Haha It's all powered from solar/heat pumps so the energy usage/cost fortunately isn't a issue.

I got a song proposition for you. I am going to title it blinded by the dews..

What a special one. 69/69 .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... Forecast on track. Minor adjustments made to temp/dewpts to reflect current obs and trends. Mid-level ridge axis slides east of the region today, with surface high pressure centered offshore. The biggest difference from Saturday is a modest,synoptically- driven southerly flow that develops. This may help dew points climb slightly during the day, especially along eastern coastal sections.

Was hoping for a Sea breeze but that failed. Any mets want to chime in as why its not setting up on the south coast?
