GATECH Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 just broke my weather station 5 year all time record. 106! Good news though, HI=air temp, so better than July 2 when I had a HI of 125. Finally I can really say…ya, but it’s a dry heat! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dailylurker Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 I'm seeing the first signs of some rising motion in the atmosphere. It feels like a little boundary came through and the dewpoint shot back up. I'm hoping some action gets focused into my area from that feature. Super hot out there! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t hit 100 either. Rounded, I’ll go 99, 99, 98 for the heat wave. My station struggles when it is humid. 2024 in the dry heat I had several 100s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to max out the next few days with multiple chances for showers/storms as the pattern shifts. Not confident based on every month being below/much below avg here since Feb. Just to your east in DE was baking today, slightly lower dews popped the temps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
