Just busting your balls.  What’s your elevation out there?

Nowhere near a 1,000 ft

Looking at the BTV temps, that’s about as desert dry as you’ll see it in this part of the country.

Dew points were in the 40s most of the afternoon.

98/47 and 17% RH around 4pm is really dry heat.  Running sub-20% with dews as low as 45F today.

Certainly not the bats. I don’t think I’ve seen one yet this year which would be a first.

Yeah. We have been noticing a lack of bats.

Warmer start this am, last few days were 59-60 and already 68F here now.

We ended up getting several in our house in Worcester.  It wasn't all at once.....it was over several months.  Had no idea how they were getting in.  It was continuously like a scene from The Great Outdoors.

I’ve been enjoying the yore heat. The overnight temps have been manageable despite the scorched earth days.

Maybe somebody gets lucky.

Got down to 62° this morning.
Did fans and windows last night to take a break from the AC.

My hood had them in the spring, then did  not see them for quite a while and they were back flying around this week.

We’ve cooked our ecosystem with all the shit we put in our foods and on our properties. 
Aiming for day 4 today with this current heatwave.

Nothing better than an early lawn watering when it's 77/74 at 6 am. You even get some bonus dews from the hose mist.

Hopefully a few towns can pick up a shower over the next 2 days. 

[RUNNAWAYICEBERG]

The best part of summeh is approaching as the coc expands and starts to dominate.

Weird to see severe in the point/click forecast given the forecast discussion and expected coverage:

Yup.  Just call mosquito squad and soak everything in poison.  Sad!

Solar and mini-splits are the way to go, if you can.  $14K back in rebates helps.  

Haven't paid CMP since installing in December and won't ever again.  ROI in 5 years at this rate.

No multi day heat wave here. Hasn't even hit 90 in Worcester this week. Providence was lucky to get a one day heatwave. The sustained low dew points have been record setting however! Seriously how often do you get heat indexes less than the actual temperature? Something to tell your grandchildren about ...

Definitely pedestrian at best for sne but man what a roaster up north!

[WxWatcher007]

Foggy start here in the valley

[CoastalWx]

Another heatwave this week. We take.

Have we had any temp reports above 1kft in Templeton, MA this week?

Too busy tracking a recurving fish storm.
