You guys are funny. Get one day out of two weeks where it’s like closer to “normal” and ya’ll acting like it’s some travesty.

56F and upslope rain showers. A refreshing change of pace from the 70F mins. Minispliits off for the first time in what feels like two weeks.

Good breeze up this way too today, 10-15mph, gusting 20-30mph in the valley. South westerlies ahead of the FROPA provided some air movement. FROPA is moving through the BTV region now Windy NW gusts and dews are dropping.

DIT struggles to drop into the 40s at night in October and November. He might touch 58-59F in the next week.

0.66” from the line.

2.50”/hr rates. Quick 0.50”+ and still going.

Ha I was thinking that… a 36F car topper.

Maybe some below normal mins for once?

Ha, I saw lows in upper 50s and low 60s and was like that’s not how I envision later October or April. But yeah, Halloween is heading towards 75/60.

BTV had an official low of 80F last night. Hard to top, ha. Nothing like a heat index of 87F at 2:30 in the morning.

For as good as Friday will feel with dry air… tomorrow afternoon/evening will be rough if the ASOS spots are pumping mid-70s dews. Backyard stations going to be hitting 80F.

Man that’s crazy, clicking around on that almost all of them are Heat Indices of like 98-103F.

The station in Woodstock at 666 feet was showing 90/74 for a HI of 100. That's some tropical stuff.

Even just looking at temps, widespread 90 - 95F and the dews are all like 68-74F, so easily mid/upper 90s HI. The I-90 corridor from BOS to ORH is littered with 95's as ambient temps. The minute you step away from the water in BOS it goes 92-95F without factoring in the dews.

Really? Ha, I thought it was just a 30-year straight average. That's egg on me then.

Looks like MVL hit a 90/70 observation for a HI of 95F up this way. Now back down to 90/64 and only 91F HI... but we don't have an advisory.

Ahh ok, I see. You are basing it off wherever these numbers above are from? I wouldn't consider those official, the other data you shared with the actual climate data are the real numbers. Is this some local project or something (the above charts)? They don't even have a time frame. Maybe that's just a 10-year average instead of 30-year average.

I guess I'm not following. Where is this normal that was raised? So if you go into the NWS climate page for Cleveland and Toledo... the climate data says they are using the 1991 - 2020 climate normals like everyone else. You're telling me they just added degrees to this? Everything I'm finding right now on the F6 and climate pages show it is based on 1991 to 2020.

Yeah, it's a very set 10-year adjustment. Maybe on some other page or stats they have some rolling average on their own?

The lows matter greatly for folks without A/C or the ability to cool off at night. Sure, tucked into bed with the A/C humming you don't notice it... but then again sitting inside with A/C you won't notice 96F either, ha. I still know some people up here who do not have A/C and it has been brutal. Each year more and more schedule mini-split installations because of it.

I know but do you know what the actual normal value should be? Maybe it is 1.0 and 1.9F? I'm just trying to figure out how you know they are playing "loose and fast" with the normals. Those sound like very possible amounts for mean temp increases in a decade.

How do you know that? Do you have what the actual new "normals" should be or did someone tell you that?

Looks like BML ASOS average minimum in July should be 52F. They haven't been below 60 degrees in 9 days now.

The increased moisture and dews just remove the radiating from the radiators and man the temperature departures get out of hand in a hurry. These are the current 30-year normals... I can't wait to see what it looks like after we bake this decade in: Saint Johnsbury... 80/58 Morrisville-Stowe... 79/55 Montpelier... 78/56 Mid-July normals are highs near 80 and lows in the 50s. That implies there should be a bunch of days cooler than that level too. It's just hard to even imagine running a current July with those averages. All three sites are +5.7 to +6.1 on the July through the first half of the month.

Oh it is. Up here feels like what I remember CT being as a kid in Woodstock. Like I've been saying, our average minimums should be solidly in the 50s. Which usually means dews in the 50s. Our average low this month is 62F and running +6.1 for July in the means at MVL. That is INSANE for a summer month.
