NorthHillsWx Posted yesterday at 01:42 AM Share Posted yesterday at 01:42 AM Topped out at 100.8 and my gosh it was hot. Our heat index cracked 110 as well which was higher than forecast. I know this doesn’t count but 15 min into my drive (not from being parked) from work back home the car thermometer hit 104 several times on 440 near the 64 exit before dropping to 100 in my neighborhood which aligned with my station at the time. Tomorrow looks worse, UNCLE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently 99.9 but we hit 100.1 a short time ago. Likely to max out a bit higher given it’s only 2:30. RDU record today was 99 I’m sure that gets erased Surprisingly RDU "only" hit 100 today, which tied the record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think the flash drought last year affected RDUs readings significantly. This summer my station has been in almost lockstep with RDU and it hasn’t been an outlier in central NC like last year. We hit 100.8 which actually was slightly above RDU’s 100 yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthHillsWx Posted 23 hours ago Share Posted 23 hours ago Topped out at 98.6 which was probably only limited by cloud cover. Still managed a heat index of 114 which was the second highest I’ve ever recorded here, slightly behind last year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yotaman Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago 97 for a high here but with dew points in the low 80's much of the day, it felt like 120 on many occasions. Highest dew point was 82. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still managed a heat index of 114 which was the second highest I’ve ever recorded here, slightly behind last year I topped out at exactly 97.9 today held down by the cloud cover. Got to 98.6. My PWS registered a DP of 84.9 ° at 3:00 PM today, with a HI of 127.6. That seems suspect but perhaps not completely out of the realm of possibility given that our soil is still quite moist from the 8+ inches of rain we got last week. Edit: Looking at the NWS site, it appears RWI was "only" measuring a DP of 73 ° at 2:53 PM so my 84.9 readings seems unrealistic. Still, it's dang humid.

RDU “low” of 80.1 last night was almost identical to my “low” of 80.2 this is absolute absurd heat we’re dealing with.

NorthHillsWx Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago I must be in my own private heat island because we’re pushing 97 and RDU is only 92. I swear my station hasn’t been tampered with!

Looks like it's running with about the same relative offset compared to average as last summer compared to GSO and FAY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
