It’s too bad we couldn’t have the wind be a little more westerly. ORH might have had a shot at 95 or 96. 96 seems to be the cap for modern times. The airport hasn’t hit 97 since 1953...but I always wonder about the land use around there back then or siting. They hit 97+ several times in the first 5 years from 1948-1953 and hasn’t hit it since. They’ve only hit 96 four times since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah not sure that passes the sniff test... odd to do it frequently in a 5 year period and then never do it again over 60+ years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Just started raining, wasn't really expecting that. All it's going to do is jack the low level moisture up even higher. Going to be a real mild night with clouds around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’ll be a total 180 Relative to normal climo there’s almost no way BDL could come close to several of the NNE sites. There just aren’t enough days in the summer. 10 days of 90+ at MVL/BML is probably like at least 40 days at BDL. And that’s not cherry picking hot sites... BML is over 1,000ft elevation. You won’t sniff that at your elevation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just been a hotter pattern up north relative to normal, it doesn’t have to be overly complicated. It doesn’t happen often, that’s why we call it summer of yore.

klw Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 So about 5:30 I was finishing up my cleanout of the garage (a lovely weekend to be doing that might I add) when I took some wood out to put on the woodpile. When I did this I discovered that a pretty large maple had broken at the base as was not on top of our two cars only because it was snagged up above on another maple. Instead of going inside and cleaning up, I moved the cars and spent the next two plus hours working on bringing the tree the rest of the way down with an axe. Sadly things were slowed by my axe handle breaking and my constantly being swarmed by bugs. Good times. Tree is still up, waiting for a decent breeze or a fixed axe. I was making good progress with a crow bar to get rid of rotten bits. Sadly we are about to get a 7-10 split with the line of storms racing through as I think they would have done the trick. 96 topped things off at KLEB and 95 at BTV. We are back to a humid 73. I doubt we hit 90 here because as soon as the sun went behind the trees at 4ish we went from 97 to 84 in a span of 5 minutes. yes my sensor is in the pm sun for a couple of hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been a weird day watching the temperatures bouncing around. I was low to mid 80’s much of the day but would occasionally get bounced into the low 90’s. 74/68 now.

You already posted ORH further south. 1911 is the gold standard for at least northern SNE and into NNE...it’s just too bad we don’t have hourly obs to weenie-out over to look for wind direction and dews. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
