June 2025 Obs/Disco

[Typhoon Tip]

Very weak gradient in the region may spare shores by allowing the sea breeze to claim .. even some distance inland.

Noticing Logan kicked around to an ESE and no heat out there... It's feeble.  Doubt flags are even wobbling much west of Back Bay, but as we warm the interior that may press inland.   NAM nailed that idea for BOS in the FOUS grid actually.  I was wanting to geek out and test that and here we are.

Wonder if we even see a bit of a breeze boundary on some rad products in the afternoon doing that thing where it's side-winding slowly inland.  

Anyone west of I-95 has no hope for relief.  It's now 86 to 88 at most garden sites ( in between the NWS obs) and some of the NWSers like the Oxbow site on Rt 2 are already 90 - sorry read that wrong, 86, but that is typically a hotdog. Anyway, there's so little gradient we're not getting any natural ventilation.

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°. 

90 at KOWD at 10  (but by the time I snipped and pasted this they clicked back to 89)

that appears to be the exception rather than the rule.  The hottest sites are 86 to 88 but I'll give it the obs through 10:20 out of fairness to perturbation physics ( haha).  

I know you have Plymouth but I like this NWS product that KGRR's office hosts, too  ... most are 84 however, excluding obvious inversion and/or elevations.   Hot day

Going to work until the heat index is over a hundred. Don't think I'll have to wait too long. This place heats up quick

Enjoy NYC Dave.

Left field thought ...

..  I wonder what the local coastal estuary and beach water temperatures will be like next weekend. After these low turbulence heat/compression atmosphere days works over the surface water,  while there's high solstice sun - then if we do get a light onshore wind field Thursday into Friday, that will then draw the surface bath to concentration at the shores.  

That top 6 to 10 foot of SST may get bootleg inflated for a time. 

Then just imagine... we add is some splashing of 10 year olds in 4' of water? ... the mimicry of seal bate will be off the charts.  We could even set off a feeding frenzy!   Heh, how apropos on this 50th anniversary week. And it's even the 4th of July next week, the same holiday weekend depicted in that film.

I'm at 85, DP 73, swampy out there this morning.

I love those maps. I post those here all the time.

Looking at the thermodynamic charts is a knife to the chest. We're sitting under 7.5-8 C.KM mlvl lapse rates and have already generated 2500-4000 J/KG of SBCAPE (we'll end up with widespread 3000-5000) and 2000-3000 J/KG of MLCAPE and should end up with 3000-3500 and LI values -5 to -8. This is about as unstable as you'll ever see it around here and it all goes to waste  

[w1pf]

Feels like Florida!

[Typhoon Tip]

Yeah, today's got what I call "garden site"  ( basically means any site not calibrated by NWS standards) DP written all over it.

You have basically still air failing to mix away exquisitely efficient evapotransporation off foilage in this heat.  There's probably a DP bubble over every individual lawn for that matter.

what's the ML lapse rate ...

It's not really 'wasted' to me, if there's no acceleration anyway.

7.5-8 C/KM.

2-6km lapse rates even up around 8.5 C/Km.

Just hit 80° dew at my home 

[Modfan2]

Currently working in Portsmouth RI near RT 24 and there is an ok breeze that has developed; temp currently 89F

Just love this...sitting outside and my clothes are stuck to me. My computer chair is leather so when I get up, I need to use extra force because I am becoming one with the chair. Someone needs to journal our wonderful stories over the next few days. Just special

We take.. every day rest of summer please

12z MET looks like it ticked up a degree or two tomorrow

Getting 88/75s mixed in on the 5-min data at MVL.

Pure Hades.

[wxeyeNH]

Hum,  at 11:55am my Davis at 2m in my field is showing 86.5F  dew 77.3F.    Maybe the highest dew ever?  Probably the sun just baking the ground after yesterday's morning thunderstorm.

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.

I remember going to the beach 7/3/66 and the sand was infernally hot.  I think it was Bradley Beach near asbury park.  
 

On 8/2/75 (hot Saturday), I was living in the Piano Craft Guild apartments in the south end of Boston.  No ac.  Stewing in my own juices while trying to sleep.  ACK hit 100 that day.  The next day a major bd came through and late afternoon temperatures were in the low 60s.

You know...  I dunno sometimes it seems sort of self-indulgent to run AC - in my case, the mini split sys.  Yeah, it'd take care of it and I'd be all comfortable but I cannot stop myself from considering the ‘physical mathematics’ of it.  What's the expense.

First of all, cooling the air in here asks the grid for additional energy. The high efficiency of the mini split system, notwithstanding, it's still requesting the grid to provide.   Which, generates that power (ultimately) by releasing more green-house gasses. In theory, this adds heat to the surrounding ambience' unrelenting efforts to raise the temperature inside the house ... Thus, the mini split automation necessarily works harder, and in doing so ... asks the grid for more energy. And one can see where this is going - feedback loop.

Now, imagine that all households that can, are, doing the same ... to mention the enormous total load requirement when thinking about the total residential and non-residential environmentally controlled environments...  suddenly, this is not such a "cooked" up morality issue - it really should be.  

To combat this cognitive dissonance … I find myself enduring the heat as long as I possibly can.  I just looked at it and 80 was the point at which bead of sweat evidenced itself … at that point I figure it becomes a health and safety priority in the here-and-now. To make up for it though … I just don’t run the cooling setting on merely pedestrian summer days that often.
