Humidity way up today, feels horrible. 96°F, but with a 100°F heat index at 11am thanks to a muggy 65°F dewpoint

Does it make a difference in terms of how it feels when you're inside with A/C on?

Number of 90s this year so far... I circled all the locations that have "over" 15 days of 90+

What is that 22 north of Albany? And the 24 in MA. Crazy. Burlington has been a "hot" spot in the Northeast recent years. Anyone want to inspect that station? Hartford too. No other location around CT has more than 10 and they have 19 today

Indoors feels the same either way if you're running AC. It does feel better getting in your car and blasting the AC than when its dry out

I saw that thread on the Phoenix forum where a landlord was asking for advice on how to fix a tenant's A/C 'within a few days'. Relying on that in Phoenix would scare the crap out of me. I mean granted I'd plan to buy, so it'd be on me to ensure backup options. I'd guess a good generator is pretty much standard?

Earlier this month Agadir Airport apparently recorded a new record High Temperature of 49,5°C/121,1°F.





This Station is a bit closer to the coast.

Big hairy deal. Try my area with a temp of 96f and dew of 76f+.

Another hot and humid one with no rain.
Is it Fall yet?

^^^^^^^^

Do you remember dial up internet?

We had some pretty extreme humidity at the 10pm obs, but then the wind shifted and the dews dropped.
