What a summer.. With strong Bermuda high in place, a S/SW flow will allow plenty of moisture to be sent our way. This combined with above normal high temperatures brings some potential for a heat wave, with heat index of 95-100 currently expected Wednesday and Thursday, and 100 to 105 for many spots on Thursday. LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... ***Key Points*** *While still some uncertainty, there is the potential for a heat wave to continue Wednesday through Friday for many areas with max heat index values between 95 and 100 (2-day Heat Advisory Criteria) for Wednesday and Friday and 100 to 105 possible for Thursday (1-day Heat Advisory criteria). *Relatively active pattern with chances for several days of afternoon showers and thunderstorms.

You know the dews have been so special when your local news puts a muggy meter...

Yeah. I think it's time for some dew charts. Definitely a historic dewy July underway for BDL.

Must be record Creemee sales up there?

What a week coming up for some great dews. Muggy then hot/muggy.. followed up by some uncomfy..

Yeah. Running my sprinklers right now. Looks like BDR with only .04 and HVN .05 overnight.

77 for the overnight low here.

I ripped out a rotted window sill once that had a yellow jacket nest in it. I was like 25ft up on a ladder and took a half dozen stings to my face. My face swelled up so much I could barely see for a day or 2.

Great night for Fireworks out on Pt Judith.

What a day out on Pt Judith fishing with my Nephew. Low 70's and a nice sea breeze.

This is the spot for the ACATT crew. Been 73-75 here most of the day at Roger Wheeler Beach/ Pt Judith in RI.

SW CT and the New Haven area have mostly non profit water companies with dirt cheap water. I run my irrigation every day and it adds maybe $40 to my bill. I think a CCF which is like 750 gallons cost me like $2.

You need to move down to the shoreline. Just got back from another special 5 miler along the shoreline. Expect a typical warm and humid summer day region wide. The region will be just north or along the northern periphery of a stalled frontal boundary to the immediate south. Dew point readings will be primarily in the middle and upper 60s through the early afternoon. A sea breeze gets going for the afternoon and will usher in slightly higher moisture values with dew points approaching 70 late in the day and evening along far southern locations

BDR putting up the 90 for the high..

Your minutes away from Tolland where it's 91 and the hottest temp in the state...

Same here and I think I'll hit it. What a day.

73 for the low and up to 75 already with full sun. Another special summer night...

Yeah. Some great dews this evening. The forecast area will also reside in a very muggy warm sector tonight with dew points getting into the lower 70s before the passage of the cold front.

Turned out to be a nice sunny and warm/dewy afternoon here on the shoreline with a high of 83. Suns been out since around noon.

I know a bunch of people have solar. Interesting article from WBUR Boston on how much behind the meter solar reduced the grid demand during the heatwave. I produced more than my home and central air used Mon-Weds. I was also exporting a ton back to the grid to my neighbors on those days as well. https://www.wbur.org/news/2025/06/24/behind-the-meter-solar-peak-demand-iso-new-england

Starting to notice a lot of tree damage from the heat around here. Many of the pin oaks/red oaks have outer sections of very light green/yellowish leaves. Many young trees seems to suffer the worst and dropped a good portion of their leaves. My neighbor's young river birch probably dropped like 75 percent of it's leaves.

From ISO New England. Consumer demand for grid electricity unofficially peaked Tuesday evening at 26,024 megawatts (MW), the highest level seen in the region since 2013. The all-time record for regional electricity demand was set on Aug. 2, 2006, when demand reached 28,130 MW after a prolonged heat wave.

My sister's at her house on Pt Judith this week and said it was cold on her morning run. Haha. Looks like the high was only 78-79 yesterday on a few wunderground sites there.

Someone should go check on Wolfie..
