so their equivalent of the Bermuda high stalled and created the marine heatwave and it's been happening every year for like 5-6 years now Chris?

Wow, if that ever happened here....

 

It’s part of the record subtropical ridge expansion this decade across the Northern Hemisphere.

Don, looking ahead to August, is there any respite from the heat and humidity? Seems that July has been brutal in recent years with a break in August and then return to hot weather in September.

I suspect that the first week of August could turn cooler and less humid for at least a time, as a powerful heat dome retrogrades to the Rockies. But above normal temperatures will likely return during the second week of the month. However, as that's still far in the future, the guidance can yet change.

Hoping for the South Shore desert to do its job next weekend. I need it to be dry in Patchogue for the Great South Bay Festival. Let's see what we can do to juggle the forecast around to make it happen

The lineup is amazing!! May go just to see pigeons playing ping pong

Figures on our low dewpoint day it gets cloudy.

So much more comfortable today, 80 degrees here. Last night was one of the warmest nights I have seen in my area. It was actually great pool weather and the breeze was warm and made the temperature bearable.

82 with a dewpoint of 59 here right now. Feels good out there.

I'm looking forward to early next week when dewpoints will go even lower. They might get down to the high 40s on Tuesday. Monday and Tuesday it will be top 10 day of the year type of weather. 

Take advantage of the great weather early next week before the heat comes back late week. The Euro is saying we could hit 100 next Friday. That might be a little overdone, but it'll be at least mid to upper 90s.

If you go I'll be easy to find, my wife has a booth in the vendor area. Look for the Looming Madness tent.
