75/72

Perfection! 

[Sn0waddict]

Spent most of my day in the Berkshires on my way back home. Was cloudy the entire time, so temps didn’t get out of the low 80s. Still humid though. Got home and finally caved in and turned on the central air for the first time this year . Sure feels like the first true day of summer though.

MAV/MET update

[moneypitmike]

Only managed a low of 65.  The forecast was for 63.

looks like a beaut in store today before tomorrow’s mild-up.  Progged high today is 80.

Gooooood morning! Beautiful day in Arlington MA!

[Chrisrotary12]

Woof is it gross out. 

[Damage In Tolland]

Took advantage of the gorgeous air and morning earlier with a nice 4 mile run. Get out there and do whatever you want!

[Prismshine Productions]

low of 67.8, up to 70.2 already... we climb

[HoarfrostHubb]

65 for my low. 72 attm.  Should get to 92 or so.  
heading to NYC though.  Ugh 

[weatherwiz]

Working outside today...debated if I should or not but I am already coated in a thin layer of sweat. This is going to be special. I may take a joy ride later today and just listen to the hums of AC units cranked on full blast. There is a gratification to it, like taking a joy ride around the holidays and seeing all the outdoor light displays. Want to see pictures of people sweating, people at the beach, people fanning themselves, sweaty cracks, lines of people at ice cream places. There is really nothing more special than this.

[Prismshine Productions]

took a 30 minute walk while we had the chance, temp shot up 3 degrees while me and the wife were out

8/2/75 is my #1…IIRC a couple of places in MA hit 107


.

BGR reached 102, and even BHB had 100.  We picked blueberries in Gouldsboro that morning until we couldn't stand the heat, then drove to Acadia and found a place to swim just south of Otter Cliffs.  Only time I've encountered really warm seawater in Maine.
That day in 1966 saw NYC at 103 and LGA at 107.  I spent the day cooking dogs/burgers at a NNJ lake resort.  The temp in the 5 feet between grill and serving counter might've been 140; the coil thermometer 10 feet away was well past the 120 mark.

[dendrite]

IIRC the 107° was the New Bedford COOP, but the airport was cooler. You don’t usually see discrepancies like that today which makes me question instrumentation/siting. PVD 104° and BOS 102° though so it wasn’t too far off. 

[WxWatcher007]

My station is the cool spot in town at a cool 78.5/75. This is pretty common, but once we get to later in the morning I’ve “caught up”.

[Typhoon Tip]

I've always suspected a bit of Mandela Effect with that 1975 heat.  

There's a couple of factors  that ( I feel -) play into that being remembered as something more than it really was.  

1, the preceding 15 years saw fewer notably hot summers ( as far as I can find ).  This may set up civility with a bit of acclimation bias.  Such that making triple digits would sensibly stick out.  As Brian pointed out, PVD 104° and BOS 102° that fateful day were impressive ( no intent to downplay that significance here ) but we did comparable readings July 2011.  So in terms of significance, I'm not sure 1975 August is more.

2, the 107 ( suspect ) reading then plays into that sensible bias; at a society scale, there weren't any efforts to refute the 107 number/instrumentation second consideration ... etc.  So, given time this myelinates the memory.

Heat in the summer…shocked and in awe.

[Typhoon Tip]

86 by 9 ...  not bad. 

Today wasn't supposed to kiss a 100's nuts anyway, but we'll also see where we are at 10.

"90 by 9"   ...   "10 after 10"

I like those two, but I've always thought that 90 by 9 sets up 10 by 10.  Like if it's 90 at 10, it was bear min required, but 90 by 9 gives you the option of an aberrant alto stratus plume ( like now ...heh ) coming along and parlaying a 99.4 for a high later in the day.   If you do that at 11am, and it was 90 at 10, then 10 after 10 seems more likely to fail... 97 to 99,  in this very delicate,  very intolerant setting or else it fails region.

There is heat and then there is heat. This is the upper echelon of our heat here...until we're somehow (and some day) able to get to the next level which would be widespread 105-110. It's the opposite spectrum in the winter with the cold (outside of I guess NNE) we don't get sub-zero cold frequently.

He knows better. This is about as high end as we get. New Haven is already 90 and has had a heat index of 100 since 8:15. 

It’s just the academic question of whether we can tickle 100 today and then if we can put up back to back days.

EWB’s highest hourly was 99°. If you want to give them an extra 1-2° in between hours that’s 100-101° which passes the smell test more.

Give me 90 at 9 for the urban centers and 10 after 10 for the interior rad spots. I feel like there’s still some low level recovery in the valleys at that time especially if lows are 65-70°.
