Yeah 93 was the highest I got during that heat wave. It was impressive to be 90+ for 6 days in a row, but it was far from extreme heat. Also pretty impressive that we had only 1 hot week for the entire month of August and lots of low humidity days. July was brutal, but August has been a fairly comfortable month. 

I had 3 days in a row here with two 88's and an 89. I think New Brunswick has 3 90s as well, but the hot spot Newark has 8 like Warlock.   90 is a fancy # we like to use, but like it matters being 88 or 90.  No one on earth can tell the difference.

I immediately break out in hives when the thermometer hits exactly 32.222 degrees Celsius.

locally the June heatwave was the big event of the summer-3 days of 98 or 99 which is impressive for here as we don't even get that many 90 degree days

Three laps around the office parking lot and I worked up a sweat. When the wind dies down and the sun pops out you can FEEL it.

You'd probably work up a sweat at 45 degrees too, that's a big workout.

Yes, I was being sarcastic.  Though, he might if he was wearing a coat.

It's so quiet meteorologically right now in so many areas. Only interesting action going is waterspouts on the Great Lakes!

Was just outside sweeping off the porch in shorts and a t-shirt and it felt great.  Nice and chilly!  Perfect for late August!

On the other hand weather pattern is extremely boring.  Real snooze fest.

IEM is maybe a little overdone here, but very impressive dry pattern. This seems to be the trend these days with dryness August-October, after spring/early summer deluges.

[Picard]

Sussex Airport may only record a trace of rain for the entire month of August?
If the trend continues, which it has a chance to, virtually all of New England sees their driest August on record?
