Hold up. Where in CT has gone 12-13 days without a dew point greater than 70F only once since 1949?
I feel like we used to have entire summer months, even down there, without dew points in the 70s?
Yeah it's up at 1,000ft... it's exactly like using ORH to show regional temperatures. Same game is played in southern New England lol. Here's the ORH temp, only hit 89F, not that hot out.
I dunno, these setups don't scream good radiational cooling. But I guess if touching like 67-70F at night makes the cut, then yeah, could be worse.
Dews could be in the 70s, true. Instead of 65-70F.
that "climo" of 76/52... and it's rattling off 86F, 90F, 93F, 94F, 88F, 83F, 85F, 81F.
Climo drops 2F in highs over the next week... from 78F to 76F.
Good grief those departures are going to sky rocket in flight.
Pretty impressive that not a single day in the next 7 up here has a high temperature forecast to be less than +5 above normal.
Normal is 78F... "coldest" NWS max is 83F next Thursday lol. A couple 92s on Monday and Tuesday.
Normal low is 54F and there appears to be nothing lower than 61F, ha.
Positive departures are going to escalate rapidly.
It's funny, sensibly so far the month is still considerably cooler than BOS.
Our mean temperature this month is 65.7... Boston's is 69.0F.
I guess normally we are running 8 degrees cooler than BOS in the means, instead of 3-4F.
84F.
Today should wipe out the residual negative departures to turn the month positive.
Only one day so far in August has seen below normal (78F) maximums.
Ha that doesn’t even make sense conceptually… what an interesting cat. Usually if the core of warmth goes over the top to the north… the region under it is an absolute dew bath. I’m not sure I can remember the humidity/dews going over the top with the heat unless it’s onshore flow… which this time of year will be dewy.
The air quality and smoke has been something this season. So many hazy orange evenings on the mountain.
The sun is just this orange crisp disk in the sky.
