Agree with you there...this time of day is the most uncomfortable and I could probably run the AC for a couple/few hours. Even with dews in the 60s though the outside temp will hit my AC setting (67F usually) by 9pm....and I struggle to pay for AC when the outside temp is the same or lower, ha. This will definitely be a summer evening though, even up here we won’t get our quick 15-20F drop of the past couple nights.
-
Torch pattern and comfortable starts to get blended this time of year though. I agree whole heartedly it’s a torch, but is it uncomfortable? I bet anyone who hit 85+ though feels it’s uncomfortable, as opposed to posters seeing 70s to low 80s who probably won’t have to run A/C. Torch though is empirically clad. Can’t deny the departures. Subjective differences aside as to what is comfy and what isn’t.

We are up to 82F... the 2nd day to hit 80 or higher so far in September. Todays 82F is the warmest temperature of the month so far. I just looked up last September... holy crap. We had 10 days of 80+ compared to now 2 this year. And highest last year was 89F. Now that’s a torch. Makes this look like child’s play compared to last September’s month long torch. -2.0 as of midnight for departures this month, compared to +3.0 last September.
-
Ha I wasn’t sure. I definitely lean colder but it’s a product of environment. 78-82F up here is beautiful but yeah it’s like +15 on the high if it makes low 80s.
-
We are trying to survive. Chamber of Commerce, full sun and a breeze. 78F in town and 75F up here at the ski resort base. Staying hydrated. What a weekend.
-
True, it's probably really enjoyable to be sitting out on Church Street this evening. Good call.
-
59F now while BTV is 71F... poor folks just bake there in the evening. Absolutely no rad cooling.
-
Some shots in mid-day sunshine today. A nice cloudy, dreary day would probably make this color pop. I'd say we are at moderate color. I bet peak is around the first weekend of October...pretty much when it always is on the mountain.
-
Quick 15 degree temp drop again with the sunset... that's the big difference from summer, how fast it cools off between 5-7pm. In mid-summer its still full sunshine right now at 7:30pm and now it's dark outside. 63F, warm enough to keep the windows and sliding doors open but also a sign of the times at how quickly it can cool off.
-
. It's like someone read one post and needed to do a 180 perception change in the next post. Today's sun felt nothing like a July day, lol. June and July is like instant sunburn in 15 minutes and you can feel your skin roasting. Hopefully you found a way to stay cool. ORH looks like it hit 79F today so stay safe.
-
Today is pretty much how you run a torch this time of year. Overnights in the 40s, daytime near 80F with dews in the 50s. True COC recipe.
-
45F this morning to a high of 79F so far. Some shallow Cu clouds developing over the mountains have cut back on the warming recently after high temp around 2pm.
-
30 degree temp rise by noon today. 45F to 75F.
-
BDL with a 43-degree diurnal range today. That's pretty impressive. 38F to 81F.... that's true Chamber of Commerce weather right there. Gotta love the wide ranges this time of year though. My favorite has been watching the evening temp drop when the shadows creep in as the sun goes behind the mountains. This evening we lost 12 degrees in 1 hour, from 71F to 59F with the sunset.
-
Last light up at the mountain this evening right before the shadows swallow the entire east slope.
-
Crazy. No matter what shark it is it’s terrifying ha. I saw Ryan on NBC CT shared a similar type photo from the Cape of a surfer with a fin poking up next to him.
-
A friend who lives in Burlington was visiting the shore and posted these photos from today at Ogunquit Beach... he said he was taking shots of his girlfriend and her father out on the ocean when the shark fin appeared. (photo credit Matt Testa).
-
37F to 75F here, only a 38 degree delta, ha. Love these afternoon temps. Shorts and t-shirt weather after 30s in the morning.
-
GFS now has Monday as quiet the gradient day with FROPA draped across CNE. Just full on pre-frontal torch across SE half of New England. The timing of that should have huge implications in the max temp forecasts. We all bake on Sunday for sure though.
-
Yeah I think we are at 2.25” this month but it’s been real dry for the mountains. The golf course here on Sunday was rock hard and dry. Greens fast and the ball bouncing around like it’s landing on pavement. No water in the top few inches at all.
-
It is, that Ohio Valley into SE US has no relief in sight. Luckily up north we’ll keep getting clipped with some FROPAS around the ring of heat. Tuesday showing highs in the 50s now, with low 60s on Wed... chilly after the weekend warmth.
-
We have been fending off the absolute torch that has been taking place from the Ohio Valley to throughout the SE US. Even long term, there seems to be more chances for cooler than normal intrusions to the north and east. Gradient pattern, gradient luckily to the south.
-
Almost the first two-thirds of September have been pretty cool relative to normal region wide... here are the departures up here in NW New England. Burlington being below normal is a strong signal of a cooler pattern, even with a +2 monthly head start. BTV... -0.9 MVL... -2.4 MPV... -2.9
-
The ol’ 40-degree swing days. This is the PWS right next to the Stowe Country Club... 31F to 72F and now back down 15-20 degrees this evening. Pretty good diurnal swing for a non Airport site, but golf course will have similar climate...cold rad at night as everything drains there, then compressional warming during the daytime in the valley bottom.
-
What a day though! 33F this morning, then full sunshine and it warmed up to 70F for about 10 minutes. Now back to 63F as the sun goes down and the vacuum starts sucking heat away from the surface. These big diurnal swing days have the temperature always on the move. It’s either going up or down but it’s never holding. Like touch the max temp for a few minutes then start going down the backside of the hill just as fast.
