It's always exciting to see anomalous weather.  Working from home this morning for a change, enjoying a coffee on my laptop in the shade outside is actually quite enjoyable this early.  I do feel bad for those working outside, it's brutal, the pavement was 140-160 yesterday while road work continues as normal.  Lucky to have central AC at my home and business to keep everyone cool.

87 at Logan at 8a. 

yeah, this is a recurring ob elsewhere even inland.  

this is a strangely anomalous territory scenario -

what  a terrific stretch of posts.

My sister's at her house on Pt Judith this week and said it was cold on her morning run. Haha. Looks like the high was only 78-79 yesterday on a few wunderground sites there.

HIt 99.7ºF here in Lowell yesterday. Can't remember if I've ever recorded 100. My overnight low was 77.5. Today's forcast high is 103.

Seaweed Beach sounds great

PWS dews are typically higher for local reasons like vegetation and not necessarily representing a well mixed atmosphere. But I’m pretty sure that’s the highest I’ve ever had. Maybe tied.

It was me that reported that my Davis Vantage Pro 2 reported a 81.8F dew at 2:45pm.  I questioned that because it just intuitively seemed too high. Unless you're in a cornfield out west, you just don't see dews that high.  Then I discovered something just now.   I have 2 consoles reporting off my 1 station but the new LED console is showing a dew 2F higher than my older Davis console in the other part of the house.  So I was watching the new LED console.  Why would 2 consoles report different dews off of the same station.  All other parameters seem correct?  Any ideas?  In any event, I'm going to go with the old console.  In that case, my max dew would have been 79.8F

No idea. I run the old cosole. It's very reliable, not to say the digi one isn't, but mabe shoot Davis an email and ask.

Wrong.  Peak climo for temperatures is 7/20-8/10.   Look at the hottest days in New England history-they’re in that date range usually.  This hot spell is not only extraordinary in magnitude but also how early it is occurring.

Yea, our climo this close to the ocean lags the solar calendar by a good month...which is why our cold peaks from about 1/20 to 2/1 and snowfall from about 2/1 to 2/10...right up to warm-tushy-car-seat season.

[Sey-Mour Snow]

Scattered lows 90s popping up on PWS sites before 8:30am impressive..

It is harsh on the body, no question.  

I don't know if "cheering" is the right word.  I mean sure... there's always someone, but for most, it's the novelty of witnessing an extraordinary event.

We nick 100 F on our big heat days, with enough frequency to numb us to the significance of 1-0-0.  But getting a possibility for every site to be 101 to 104? mm that is definitely novel enough to the area to take note. 

It's a special anomaly ... it seems there may be an "air" ( pun hopefully annoying haha) of synergistic heat bomb about this, too.  There are several factors that are likely to propel this into the "rogue wave" territory - the New England version of it, today. 

One observation of note ... there was a peculiar temperature rise of 2 to 3 F at several home sites around the area, which took place at 2am, after we had settled off to 74-ish.   Back up to 77... this happened well before the light rose during the bowls of deep dark night.  And it continued to rise decimals per 5 minute click off through dawn. Now, 90 and 91s are common at 8:30. 

This is how synergy manifests.  I don't believe the models are seeing these idiosyncratic positive feed-backs... 

Anyway, human curiosity takes over.  There's also a ton of scientific significance to novel scenarios.   But imho, I don't think the average observer of this is wantonly cheering on a injury - and if they are, they should be guided to jumping off the cliff first as their poetic justice.

The consoles sample variables at different time increments. So the dew probably changed from the time one console pinged it to when the other one did…just a guess. 

But I had 82° for a dew here as well. The Davis ones can become a little oversaturated with age, but we do get more pooled up moisture from evapotranspiration than wide open airports. 

But temp and dews actually change pretty rapidly with responsive equipment. Mercury thermometers have lag. These digital probes are almost instantaneous. That’s why ASOS uses running 5 minute averages to try to simulate the slower response of the mercury thermometers.

Yeah, nobody’s cheering on heat stroke any more than someone cheering on heart attacks in the wake of an 18-24” KU in January, but I digress..

I’m +3.5° compared to this time yesterday. Running 4° behind HFD right now but I’ll make up ground just as I did yesterday.

[Sey-Mour Snow]

For pure entertainment, a station that runs a bit hot up the street from me maxed at 100/86 yesterday for a 136 HI lol 

[Typhoon Tip]

KFIT has 12 min to come up with 2 F to make 90 by 9

88 may be within error threshold anyway, just sayn'

[dendrite]

Today is a different beast from yesterday. When those westerlies start mixing down the temp is going to spike and the dews drop off.

My dog wanted to come in early today too and hasn't bugged me for her after breakfast walk.

85/71 at 9am, only gets worse from here.

[weatherwiz]

Every once in a while I get a whiff of decaying and drying up (fresh) dog poop...usually it's not very pleasant but for some reason on a day like today its kind of refreshing...just further adds to this experience.

Yeah dews falling slightly already.
