Funny how normal dews (~70°) feel noticeably dry. Made it up to 92° and it didn’t even feel that hot.
My max dew points so far this month:
8/01 - 78
8/02 - 80
8/03 - 78
8/04 - 78
8/05 - 76
8/06 - 76
8/07 - 78
8/08 - 78
8/09 - 77 (midnight)
I’ve actually had more days with 75°+ dews (25 days) this year than days with dews between 70°-74° (20 days). Insanity.
Best light show I’ve seen in years. Photogenic lightning in all directions while driving on the LIE.
Saw a bolt come down dead center over the roadway and branch out in opposite directions (like an upside down letter T), each branch was miles long.
Wow just had a close CG strike just outside my window, probably within a few hundred feet. Saw lightning and heard thunder at the exact same time.
Pouring now, but the best part of the storm looks like it’ll miss me.
90 here, down from 94. Not sure if the cool down is from the clouds or the sea breeze, or if the two are related.
9th 90 degree day here, 21st day of 75+ dews.
