I will say there is probably more of a bias toward more hours in the ASOS era since obs are more reliable (automated) versus being sent out by human observers. There were frequent missed obs at hourly sites pre-automation. There was a period there between the 50s-70s where many sites only reported every 3 hours too…although those may be the groups of years “blued” out for too many missed obs.
What is this nonsense? I don’t mind certain weeds, but this crap is taking over a section and is thick and wiping out all of the grass and clover in that area.
75/69 here…not too bad out right now with overcast skies. I’ve only been 90+ 1 or 2x this year. People lived without AC for thousands of years. We can get by too.
Maybe…goes hand in hand with dews though. Except it’s a deeper humid airmass versus the shallow pooling types that mix out a bit in the afternoon and then muggy back up in the evening.
Yeah they're actually mixed out. Looks like a bit of an inversion mid mountain though? 77F at 4300ft, 72F at 3300ft, and 74F at 2300ft. Unless there's shadows being cast on the lower els of the autoroad.
Not as bad up here today. U80s to L90s and dews falling into the 60s into C NH. Pretty swampy in SE SNE and warm at HFD though…BDL shot up to 95° after this map time as well.
