Yeah...I really don’t care about persistent 65F dews. This summer has been overbearing with the 70-75F+ mank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hours spent above 70F dew are unprecedented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the data is there I have no problem admitting that but when I look at 30 straight days where the temperature never went below 68° and with many of those days only bottoming out in the low 70s and then I look at this year and see breaks in the high humidity, I think arguments could be made either way.

CoastalWx Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 For July, BDR in 2013 beats 2018....BDL, 2013 just surpasses 2018..But for DXR..2018 crushes it. So some variety it seems. Also, I believe the error or variance with dewpoints reported probably has a higher standard deviation of error...thus giving some differences in results. Even if not error....environmental and geography can locally effect the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapturedNature Posted August 31, 2018 Author Share Posted August 31, 2018 I will say that that if you look at the number of hours of 70+ dp's at BDL for JJA this year blows past years away. Then again, the data set only goes back to 1973. 7 minutes ago, CoastalWx said: For July, BDR in 2013 beats 2018....BDL, 2013 just surpasses 2018..But for DXR..2018 crushes it.

I think therein lies why this year would be special - having back to back months under the same regime. Thankfully we got some breaks but I do think that stretch in July 2013 is impressive in it's own right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every morning I make my 6 mile trek to Duncan Donuts in Bristol NH and back. I started a dear squirrel count in my head. Up to about 50 squirrels. I don't count chipmunks, racoons and other animals. The numbers are really increasing in the recent weeks but I think its because acorns are easy to see on the roads. It's a massacre out there.
