Here it is on graph. Been a hot month. Lots of 90s there. 3 Heat waves this month. Well above normal July locked in. Look at those lows too! WTF. I hope they just check out the fan on that sensor there.

Been driving around Hartford / West Hartford today. The car thermometer has registered in the 96 - 98 F range. What the heck is it with BDL?

Got to 97 here. Higher temp but didn't feel as bad. Yesterday I couldn't step outside without pouring sweat. No issues with that today.

More sun too, my dining room (where the AC is) is 1-2 degrees warmer today on the same setting.

Went for a very early and short walk at 6 am (even then was too humid with no air circulation), watered the plants, stayed inside all day with central air on and shades drawn and made it a reading day (which was tough because it looks so nice outside that I kept getting tempted to go back out). Went back outside a little while ago to check on plants and water my new birch trees again and could barely breathe except for when a breeze would come over the pond behind my house. Staying in until tomorrow morning. Other than some rain Monday-Tuesday, looks like a dramatically better week coming up.

A 72hr loop in 24 seconds of the Heat Index Values with Radar & Satellite.

Note as everyone's heat index values disappeared at night, NYC still remained.
Then daylight came and we all heated up 100s for many

Hartford (BDL) felt like 109° 3pm July 20th then 105° today at 2pm and 5pm.

Bridgeport 95° at 5pm July 19th, 106° at 6pm July 20th and 103° at 3 & 5pm today

Boston felt like 107° at 5pm July 20th and 103° at 5pm today.

Philly felt like 104° at 4pm July 19th, 105° at 5pm July 20th, and 107° at 5pm today.

Atlantic City felt like 105° at 4pm July 19th, 110° at 4pm July 20th, 111° at 2pm today.

I think the less haze than years past is from the cleaner air?


I mean does this look like it feels like 100°+??

It's funny I never thought of this, but today (before reading your post) I noticed this too. Today was "visiting day" at my daughter's sleepaway camp (in the mid-Hudson Valley area) and I noticed this both on the drive up around 11am and the drive back around 5pm. I had joked to my son, "you know, this looks like the sky of the perfect hiking day to somewhere with a view. Except that it's about 25 degrees too hot." My car thermometer (usually reads high in my view) showed 101 at the time.

Most impressive stat so far I found is the 83 degree low so far at Boston/Logan Airport. If it sticks (i.e. something like you describe above with storms doesn't happen there before midnight or they don't suddenly get a backdoor cold front or massive sea breeze), it would be (I used your NOW data trick to figure this out ) only the 11th time ever they had a low at or above 80 in 147 years of record and the first time it happened 2 days in a row (their low yesterday was 80). The 83 would be their all time highest low temperature (current record 82 set on August 2, 1975)

To give you an idea of how rare it is there, it is only the second time they had a low that high 2 years in a row (the other time being 2011 and 2012). They did not get one at all until 1911, and then didn't have another one until 1925. They also went from 1926 to 1974 without on and after the 1975 record mentioned above didn't have another one until 1991.

I looked at the mid level (5000') and upper level (27000') flow in the atmosphere and it was from the West and slightly NW. So there was partial flow from Canada helping keep the air (above the surface) "cleaner". If we had a south flow it would of been hazy for sure. Plus I believe our air is cleaner too vs the past.
