73/71... that line of showers at least cooled us to near the dew point. Not going to get much cooler tonight though me thinks.

How does that explain BDL averaging 18 days of 90F a season compared to 3-4 on average up north at MVL/BML type sites? Its just been a hotter pattern up north relative to normal, it doesn’t have to be overly complicated. It doesn’t happen often, that’s why we call it summer of yore.

Relative to normal climo there’s almost no way BDL could come close to several of the NNE sites. There just aren’t enough days in the summer. 10 days of 90+ at MVL/BML is probably like at least 40 days at BDL. And that’s not cherry picking hot sites... BML is over 1,000ft elevation. You won’t sniff that at your elevation.

Just started raining, wasn't really expecting that. All it's going to do is jack the low level moisture up even higher. Going to be a real mild night with clouds around.

I don't want to take anything away from you as I know you take this to heart.... but NNE has been absolutely destroying SNE in "summer of yore" status. You can say dews have been higher or whatever, but the records in NNE show this is pretty rare. BML, MPV, MVL, HIE, BTV etc all added another day to the 90+ list that's reached double digits now at MVL and BML.

Yeah not sure that passes the sniff test... odd to do it frequently in a 5 year period and then never do it again over 60+ years.

A bear was back at it this afternoon... came home with groceries this evening to this little guy grazing in our yard. He seems very young and smaller than the one we had seen before. It's hard to tell. He's a little guy, big stout legs though like he's going to grow up into a big guy. Sort of like a young puppy who's paws and legs are much too big for their body. He's been chilling out at the back dumpster now for a half hour or so. Doesn't give a sh*t about humans, think we are deer or something. Just another living thing going about it's business.

The same as once a year cold shots I guess. It seemed pretty hot region wide. I guess it depends on meh... is everything meh that isn’t remembered years later?

BTV has already had a night or two with 80F at like 3am as the southerly flow cranks. Tonight should be special.

Up here... chalk up another 90+ for the ASOS sites in NVT and NNH: BTV... 94F MVL... 91F BML... 91F HIE... 90F MPV... 90F

Yeah that’s what I was wondering, would love to see that graphic.

Yeah normally though it’s the daily average temp... like we had that record hot summer a couple years ago almost entirely from high minimums. Its really hard to judge top summer’s from afternoon max temps.

Yeah I mean I honestly don’t know. Sometimes it’s hard to know if it’s DIT hyperbole, or maybe there was a graphic or something on twitter showing that. Genuinely curious if it’s true.

Is that true? It’s been hot across parts of NNE but plenty of spots are getting first 90s today... I didn’t get the feeling placed like BDL/ORH/TAN/PVD, etc were seeing a top 5 or 10 style summer.

92F at ORH in latest hourly.

Yeah for sure. Even Phin has hit 90F on a hill in Coos County, probably more than once despite the elevation.

Ha that’s crazy, first time. I’m going on number ten I think. 90/66 at MVL.

It was a good jump up but now getting 95+ in the valley spots so ORH makes more sense. Still 91F there seems tough sometimes even if BDL hits 97F .

91F at ORH... that's pretty impressive.

87/66

We grabbed 7 degrees between 11am-12pm, so 10 should be pretty easy. 86/67

Weird not having the NNE ASOS sites on top there... haha. All joking aside, I wonder if they'll mix as well as they did today. I think if they mix out a spot 100 isn't out of the question. If dews stay 63-65F and above, I don't think there's a chance.

Amen. What an evening. IPAs flowing and every single patio in town is hopping. 71/66

BTV?

Looks about the size of the one we have around. I still haven’t caught ours on camera and it bugs me, ha. He takes off into the woods pretty fast. Acts like a 2-4 year old adolescent male with a tough of spaz. Really curious about everything but doesn’t like to be seen, likes hiding in the woods.
