I feel coolish because I have a fan on blowing on me, but when I turn it off it feels stuffy after a minute.
I'd like to flashback to a month ago today when it was in the low 40s with a brisk wind. Good biking/walking weather.

How about several weeks with daytime temps in the high 60s with a dew point under 50°F. Good compromise?

And nice biking /walking weather.

Fan's going back on; I keep switching.

Fine.

I've been going back and forth with my fan the past month. Still haven't installed the A/C window unit yet. Trying to hold out as long as possible.

I'm on the top (3rd) floor of a building in an attic-like spot so the last few weeks I've had the fan on most of the time or it gets stuffy and the heat collects. I'll be moving to a new place on a ground floor soon.

Judging from your temperature preferences, I'm thinking you might want an A/C this weekend.

People have been slow at posting spring photos, thought I'd post a few before the season is over. Took these a little less than a week ago on a long bike ride. Temperature mid to low 80s, dew point something in the low to mid 50s ? (Can't remember exactly but not noticeably humid). Morning was hazy and then it cleared up into a deep blue sky. Vegetation is hard to distinguish from summer vegetation; everything's been out for several weeks. Even the leaves in the hills look completely full.

Sheep!



Covered Bridge over the Green River was blocked. Doing construction to fix a dam that was damaged from floods last September. Didn't want to backtrack but found with someone's advice a way through. Here's the inside of bridge:



Lift fence to get through:



Green River Road:





Green River:





Bridge over Green River with helpful safety sign:



Dam along Green River. Built around 1800 to power a factory.





Sign atop bridge says "Two Dollars fine for crossing faster than a walk".

Dirt roads get dusty:





The tallest peak in Massachusetts is visible in the background:



Now at Deerfield River:

You. Are. Having. A. Laugh.




10°C on 1st June? Is this a freaking joke? Why the hell can't we get more than 1 week of decent summery weather any more in this God forsaken hole?

@Weatherfan

Is that the GFS? If so I'd take no notice of it.
