    Can you share the link for that data? Would love to see the data for New Haven.

    52 for the low and already up to 66 here. Hoping we can pull an 80 here on Sunday and a few more this month. Neighbor just said her dock thermometer was at 73.

    Home Depot and Lowes around here have big shortages of common plumbing parts. Had to drive all over looking for a sink basket strainer and some drain parts.

    Was a really warm month here. Anyone know how I can get the monthly departures for HVN?

    The supply chain issues are going to get much worse. The price of coal in China was $50 a ton a year ago and is now over $210. They are having severe electricity issues due to coal shortages that is reaking havoc on everything. Some areas are only allowing factories to run 2 or 3 days a week. I read 60 percent of their electricity comes from coal and with current prices plants are not profitable and taking huge losses.

    September was a torch here with an average temp of 70.3. I'm hoping we get another winter like 2020 with monthly winter averages 36+. HVN's average monthly temp data.

    Same here. The CT shoreline is now classified humid subtropical. I think parts of SE Mass are as well. I run my central air well into October. I have had endless 72+ dewy nights here this month and like 14 80+ days.

    Yep. Don't understand how people live in 400k houses but won't spend the money for central air or mini splits. There are crazy state and federal rebates for splits and central ac in every New England state. My sister has a few rental houses in Narragansett RI and had to install ac in all of them a couple years ago. Its like the top question when people rent in the summer.

    79 here and should hit 80 soon.

    We bought my uncle's house and everything inside was original from 1958. We kept this hifi and all his records and listen to them all the time...

    I use Wondercide cedarwood/lemongrass oil on my fenced backyard our puppy uses. I only use organic stuff in his area. I haven't found any grubs on the sections of lawn I have recently pulled up after having a patio put in. https://www.wondercide.com/

    They got hit hard by the chip shortage and have had many shutdowns. My wife has a 2018 Crosstrek and it's insane how much used ones are going for. It's lost like no value since she bought it.

    It only makes sense if you have cheap or free electricity from solar. New England has the highest electricity rates in the lower 48. It doubt the numbers would work out when electricity cost .23 kwh. States like Washington state have cheap hydro power that cost .08 kwh.

    A friend in the HVAC industry said the shortages are nuts. Parts and new furnaces have insanely long wait times. Said its going to be an ugly winter

    Had 3 nights of +20 departures. It was 77 here until 1 am.
  16. BrianW
    It was 76/72 most of the night here but bottomed out at 75 for an hour. Normal low is 55 at HVN so a +20 departure. It's been full sun all morning and its up to 80/73 now.
  17. BrianW
    Another night of +20 overnight lows. Was 75/72 all night.

    Normal bee spray won't work on yellow jackets in nest like that. Your just going to get them angry. You need to use a professional spray or powder that you use on the entrance hole and they bring deep inside the nest. Do it yourself pest control online sells what you need.

    Thats my pup Woody who's is half Dachshund/Chihuahua. He is a legit true weenie who loves heat and high dews. Its been a special summer for him.

    Didn't realize that cheap Kentucky Bluegrass sod is a available here. The place I got it said there is a bunch of sod farms in CT, MA and RI. The sod I got had come in that morning from RI. Each 5x2 10 sqft piece was $6 so .60 sqft. We had a paver patio put in and it cost me less than $100 to instantly have nice lush weed free grass around it. Definitely worth it over dealing with germinating seeds and all the weeds.

    Can someone post the monthly departures for HVN and BDR? Its been an absolute furnace here and the overnight lows have been running crazy high. Every night is like a 70+ min here. BDR I think tied its record max yesterday of 86.

    Possible world record white catfish caught in Coventry Lake. “I Was Shocked!” Connecticut Angler Lands Potential World Record White Catfish The 21.3-pound white cat doubles the previous state record and potentially smashes the IGFA all-tackle record, too. And no, it's not a channel cat https://www.fieldandstream.com/fishing/ct-angler-catches-record-white-catfish/

    Some of the best swimming of the year here. The water temp in the sound off New Haven is currently 76.3.
  24. BrianW
    You know whats up. Best time of the year for the beach. The sound water temp in Milford is still 75...
  25. BrianW
    It sure is. I'm at my sister's in Milford and the beaches are packed like it's early August. 82/68 according to the closest WU station.
