CT Valley Snowman Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Combination of dews and heat has been impressive. The dews may have helped on a few occasions from realizing the true atmospheric potential on the thermometer in terms of triple digit heat hear in the valley, but the combo along with the tropical rains have certainly been impressive. Next week looks hot regardless of how much of a door/ocean/cloud cover influence attempts to try to temper things. Seasonal trend has been for that to be overplayed. Hopefully we see some more chamber weather 2nd half of the month. Haven't looked at it much so that's more of a sentimental notion. Ready to start moving beyond this and start thinking about frost covered pumpkins and foliage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I remember years ago when you’d see beginnings of fall color and leaves fading from deep green to faded now. This year as in ones recently ,, there’s no color and everything is deep green like mid July. All over New England. Times have changed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a break in the "constant" heat and high dp's in my book. I guess if you want to ignore those stretches, it has been constant. Even worse than the 30 day stretch in 2013. 59 minutes ago, Damage In Tolland said: In my area it has been the hottest and most humid August on record. Iron clad lol, clown.

It has not been constant though. 24 out of the past 62 days averaged BN...how can that be if it's been brutal except for several days in July? I'm not pretending that I haven't put up two top 10 warmest months or had constant stretches of high dp's but I'm not going to ignore the empirical data that I've had breaks for several days or even a week at a time. I’m going by first order stations. It’s been one of the hottest and most humid July-Aug ever. Even if temps were hotter in other years, the incessant dews have added another metric that has been unprecedented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's because the temperatures tell less of the story this summer! A high of 77 with a dew point of 74 still feels hot and uncomfortable. A lot of the days with negative departures did NOT have that 'cool' feeling. Like this morning it is 73 in NYC and it feels like fall because the dews dropped off. JFK has had 34 days with a dew point of 75 or higher. We have had very few days (really if any) in July and August with a dew point in the 50s. With a pregnant wife all summer, I can tell you that our cool days have seemed sticky to her. But yes we have had some breaks. This morning though just feels strange to me. It is funny how the body can just adjust. Although the one thing I wish I could control is how much sweat the body decides to produce when I have to walk between buildings etc. I just wish I could say "body I'm going right back into the AC, calm yourself".

Coolest morning of the month, about 45 here. HUL touched 40. Month will finish about +2.0, significant departure for a summer month. (Would be meh in winter.)

Missed my yard, however, where the white birch by our driveway is doing its usual early-color act. Also the red maples by the pool down the rod, also...

There's plenty of those early changing trees showing some color. Not a lot, but they are there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was like an entire month without a break so the recent bouts with higher dp's as impressive as they are for repeated bouts over the past couple of months has happened before. I don't how anyone can just brush off that 30 day period of constant humidity and dp's in the upper 60s and low 70s and say that the past couple of months blows that out of the water. If we didn't have the week long breaks I'd say sure but the data is what the data is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Nice early morning mowing done. Fresh air nice breeze whats not to like. Going to enjoy another break before the next onslaught. Makes it tolerable knowing we get these breaks. The calendar is turning on yet another August, man time flies. Enjoy your holiday weekend everyone.

I was looking at several stations around southern New England and the amount of hours spent above 70° dewpoint blows anything out of the water.
