Damn corn sweat(evapotranspiration) effs things up here and inhibits higher temps by adding more moisture to the air. lol not really. Seems logical, but we aren't the midwest, where all you see is millions of acres of cornfield for miles and miles.

My ridiculous south front porch has now ticked to 106 flat. Don't think I'll be out there sipping no mai tais...

104 on my porch. Had a beer and got too warm.

I wonder how warm it’s gonna be tonight. Breaking a record warm low perhaps?

Looks like Ridgely briefly hit 99 just after 4pm.

101.7 on my pws in suburban sprawl hellacape next to a field with corn planted. Easton's meso hit 98, did not look at Easton airport which would be closer to downtown Easton vs the meso which is at the wwtp on the Choptank

Uh oh Charles Town is currently 97/79. That makes it feel like 115 degrees. That reel feel is truly representative of places like south central Texas. Charles Town has been up to 103 degrees this afternoon. If that 79 dewpoint was in play at that time, the heat index may well have been in the middle to upper 120s.

There is NO WAY it should be this hot in Charles Town, Not only are they too far north for this, they are too high up in elevation.

In a very perverse way, this is like the summer version of an I-95 snowstorm that hit everyone from us to New England - of course you can't really "enjoy" it because it feels like death outside, but everyone got to experience the extreme-ness.

still holding at 100 at 6 pm. amazing.

Hearing MRB may have had an intra-hour high of 101, which would be 1 degree short of the record for the date from 1931.  Should be confirmed within the hour.

Project my son and I did today. Way more tolerable this evening since we were in the shade even though temp was technically warmer. Still look like I jumped in the pool with my clothes on.

My AC was recently inspected and had no issues, but the unit for upstairs just cannot keep up today when the roof is in direct sun. The attic is just too hot. Running nonstop and still 85 upstairs. :axe:
 

This is how it was on upper level of my split level with the short attic .  Last fall  I put 14” blown insulation in and new gables.

Today I was able to maintain 75 upstairs  with AC on for 20-25 minutes, off for 7/8 and back on 20-25.  
 

What were others settings and time frames today?

Thanks

Same issue for me; up to 79 with upstairs unit running. downstairs unit doing fine - lowering that temp to help it keep up.
