Unbearable Heat Up Here!
Today it reached 100 at my house for the first time since August 2001, when it hit 104 and July 1999 when it hit 100.
Disregard Central Park numbers and just go with LaGuardia when trying to look for weather here because Central Park has had problems with their thermometer for over a year now and nobody has done anything about it. While all of the nearby tri state area (except along the southern facing coast) temperatures hit 100-102 while Central Park was stuck at 97. I consider it a 100 degree day for the area. It was just unbearable. Heat indicies ranged from 108-118 degrees today. It was just insanely hot and the hottest day in several years.

Yeah, but what's your dewpoint?
Last week, we hit 97F/79d one day, and that was a little cooler than some areas nearby.
The air was so thick you almost strangled trying to breathe it.
At 3AM, it cooled all the way down to 87F/77d.
Yuck....

Dude, I can't imagine Seattle having an air temperature of 100F with a dewpoint of 70F...just like Chicago a few days ago. Isn't the heat indice near 115F? That's crazy stuff.
Yesterday it was 88F with a dewpoint of 49F...and that was pretty warm to me. That's one good thing about Seattle...we NEVER get heat and humidity...wait, we NEVER get humidity period.

Re: Unbearable Heat Up Here!
We had dew points way into the 70s. My weather station at one point reported dew points up to 76. And heat indicies were running anywhere from 108-118 around the region.mike18xx wrote:ict1523 wrote:Today it reached 100 at my house for the first time since August 2001, when it hit 104 and July 1999 when it hit 100.

BTW, a week and a half ago, we had 90s for highs with dew points at exactly 80 here. That was also horrid. The air is just so thick as you said you feel like you can't breathe and run out of breath almost instantly even if you are just standing and not walking or running.

The only thing that ended them here was a rumble of thunder, a flash of lightning, and a 30 second moderate rain shower that only recorded a trace. Shame how those storms fell apart.Hurricane Floyd wrote:Wendsday was 100 for the first time since august 2001 here too
then storms with 55-60mph winds ended that
