donsutherland1 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 At 10 am, Boston's 91° reading was the hottest in the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast for any large city. NYC's LaGuardia Airport had a 90° reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw someone post inside class room temps getting into the 90s...that's no bueno Before the multi-million$$ reno, the brick and stone building where I work had no AC, though some off-the-shelf units were installed within a plastic bubble after the computers running data generated due to the 1989 Forest Practices Act started crashing from the heat. State policy said that indoor temps over 86 would close the building, but in 1988, 93, 95 temps 88-90 were frequent and one day reached 92 (though we did get released that day.) Logan low of 83 so far. Might be warmest ever? My data says "tie", with 8/2/75. (102/83) Only 8 minima 80+, 4 with 80 and 3 with 81. Only one prior to Hot Saturday was 6/6/25. Others came 1977, 1991, 1999, 2002, 2011, 2012. Also 6 with 79, half of them in July 2013. Edit: Thanks, Don. Looks like a 9th day with minimum 80+, unless there's a cheap sub-80 at 11:59 PM. (Very doubtful) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Fwiw - Boston/Logan cracked 90 by 9AM ... ... by 10 they were 91 ... "10 after 10" says they breach a hundred, as does the "90 by 9" ... I don't see what would stop there... but if it does so at say 98, it's still in the ball park - I'm not a retentive Hun when it comes to those sort of things...

Probably I should check on Climod - doing so for NYC allowed me to add 1869-75 to that site's records. (Another wish-list item is NY-Battery Place back into the 19th century. I can understand closing that station when the official NYC site was moved to Central Park, but tossing the data would seem very unscientific, so it's probably around somewhere.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
