Yea, I was nitpicking and knew what you meant. Just a reminder that Florida (and often common in much of the southern and near southern US) levels of heat and humidity are a different experience from that.
I don't think I would love Florida summers at all.. I can handle dry heat, but I think 30C+ with 20C+ dew points is just too much, I can understand why a lot of people on here complain about their summers now! Thankfully we don't get high dew points often at all
As long as you are not too far from water, to jump in and cool off, Florida is perfect in the summer. Actually the thing that literally "bugged" me was the bugs. Huge ass mosquitoes and flying cockroaches the size of your thumb. I mean we have terrible mosquitoes here too since Chicago was built on top of a swamp, but our climate doesn't allow them to get that big (that's why ferocious winters are good )
Speaking off winters, Badtardi tweeted this earlier this morning

@BigJoeBastardi: winter forecast went to clients in March based on enso much like 02-03,09-10. US models now starting to see it
Tom might be right about this upcoming winter being another beast
Unnecessary rain band approaching from the south and nothing behind it, doesn't look good for decent tstorms tonight here. Just heard thunder.

Here's Omaha from this awesome site. Just click on location and click real time. The dot represents the most recent balloon launch. Omaha this morning was 14C but the other day was 8C which wasn't extreme but well below normal.
So looks like Omaha has never been below zero at that level from June to August. Considered extreme the rest of months except Dec-Jan-Feb when it's pretty much normal.
Yup thought that you would've had reached something like 27-28°C at mid-levels, looks like the crazy 850 hPa readings are more of a Great Plains thing. Your record low 850 mb is quite impressive for the latitude though. Thanks for the link!

When on holiday I prefer temps of 28-30C during the day and 19-20C at night as I spend most of the time outside.. at the end of August I'm going to Frejus for a couple of weeks which should be just about perfect
Aside from not seeing threat for 90s here next 10 days.. I don't see 90s with this pattern next couple weeks north of Philly. Status Quo. Violin playing. No heats. No 90s. Or at least hard to come by this year.
Euro Monthly showing beginning of August not "hot" in the East. Tame the roar of the heat baby.
Ironically... Last year 1st half of July was 2nd warmest on record, here we are again having a warm 1st half of July. Does that mean we follow last year and had a tolerable/cool August?
Either way... 90s was never a big threat this year from the start for NorthEast. I think we all sensed that and kept mentioning it in May and June.
I've got 10 nights in Egypt in October. 90+ highs, 75+ lows, not a cloud in sight. Can't wait. Its been too long since our last holiday.
That will be my summer.
