August 2005 on the Cape where I was working was oppressive AF. That was when I was ACATT and hated that stuff. Now as we age and the globe warms, its welcomed.
Some of the most oppressive weather can come in August. Sun angle my ass, when there is a stream of sweat coming off my crack, last thing I’m thinking of is sun angle.
Actually, recent summers although maybe not last year, have had hot weather July in August. June has been kind of cool. Not this year, especially second half.
2.3 is solid though….you aren’t getting +6 here in July. Furthermore the dews have likely helped from not getting to the upper 90s. So maybe high temps aren’t insane, but the heat index sure as hell is hot.
