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.
It has been ongoing for several years now. I don’t remember anything like it either in terms of multi-year persistence.
Can see any time there’s a NW flow or trough in our area it’s a straight conveyor belt of smoke from the Canadian fires out in the prairies.
