My area would’ve had several heat waves by now if it hadn’t been for the constant clouds.
No rain of course, just clouds.

Yep, it's par for the course these days. Doesn't get real hot and doesn't get real cold because of all the moisture in the air.

You’ve never once made a post like” damn the next couple days or weeks look hot and humid” Or “ there’s just no normal or BN in sight “ It’s always that an op run shows purple colors 

yes I have you just don't notice it because you see hot and humid and don't think twice..

Do you find you run better in drier air?

I hike after work on days I don’t lift, and I find I can shave time off the route fairly significantly on days like today.  Like a usual 46-48 minute up and 34 minute down in the heat and humidity (roughly 4-5pm)… turned into 41 minutes up and 30 minutes down today.

I was wondering today if folks like you see an uptick in aerobic speed in this weather.  Though you hit it early AM.

Well typically Fridays are off days for me on running so today not good example . I will say initially after the winter .. as we move into summer.. the first few runs are harder because the body isn’t acclimated yet. Same thing on the first few cold runs . The past few weeks have been fun because I love the dews. I sweat probably more than the average human and always have. I ran 4 miles yesterday morning lost 3 lbs in water weight, and carry a sweat rag to wipe sweat out of my eyes / face . I’ll run 5 tomorrow morning and will be thinking the whole time about the higher dews coming back in the afternoon

You really don’t need the whole month to be hot.  You just need mild nights.

BOS is probably the most irrelevant station around, literally on the water, with onshore flow giving some below normal days… and it’s STILL at #10 so far.

The interior sites are running higher.

Especially the one on a 500 square mile lake. True representation of Vermont?

Ha, I’m with on that.  In the dews this summer I’ve had to have a sweat rag at times too and have noticed more and more people out there carrying something to wipe face and head.

It does feel like a good 3-5 miles out there can lose a pound of water/sweat per mile when dews are over like 67F.

Ha that comment struck a nerve.

BTV is the coldest site in the state relative to normal because it doesn’t radiate to begin with.  

I think I’m pretty consistent in posting both the interior sites and BTV.  C’mon, you know BOS isn’t indicative of much except the first few miles of the coast.  Even the BTV ASOS is 3-4 miles away from water.

July…

MVL +6.5

MPV +6.2

1V4 +6.0

BTV +4.4

My least favorite runs are when it’s anything below about 20 degrees with a lot of wind. I’ve run countless times in single digits or even lower with wind and it’s miserable . Typically will draw the line if it’s zero or dangerous wind chill. My second least favorite is cold rain. I ran the HFD marathon one October in 44 degree rains the entire time and it was pretty much the coldest I have ever been . I was shivering for hours after . Sweating running, but cold rains.. soaked to the bone . I had to sit in the truck for like 30 minutes before I was able to drive safely

I get it, it’s kind of a sickness.  I’ll do the same in the mtns.  Like shitty windy misery mist day, could just stay home… but end up going out for a couple hours and get back to the car raw, cold, wet like “well, that was dumb but I still sort of enjoyed it” in a twisted way.

We'll see if the +'s outweigh the -'s at BOS.  Could just be a wash and hang near top 10 (which is pretty much dead-on with my thoughts a few weeks ago)

I  don't think there's a disingenuous bone in your body. At least from what I've observed

However,  Massachusetts has more than 1,519 miles of coastline where a great majority of the population lives.

I’m certain there will be more + at BOS through the. End of the month than -

Anyway, there is an early fall feel in the air tonight.  It's 70's but with the low dews and sunset, it's a noticeable change.

How about the other sites . BTV, ORH, BDL. Easy top 5

Easy top 10 or even 5 but we only use BOS *

BDL stands at 4th hottest using the average. Average temperature means s***. You're not having a cookout at 2:00 in the morning. Who cares if it's 55 or 62? 

 

BDL in 2020 had 39 days at or above 90°. This year, 13 lolz...

Worcester isn't even close to top five even on average. Christ it hasn't even hit 90 since the beginning of the month.

So 4th hottest and it’s only the 18th. With a ton of heat coming last 14 days. Interesting

Doesn't matter it's cheap overnight temps. Only matters to Nutjobs.
