Unbearable Heat Up Here!

[ict1523]

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.

It was 95degrees here, and I hate it

We hit 85 here in the north sound of Western WA, that's pretty hot for our standards. No A/C in my house, so I got the box fan blasting in the window to try to cool my bedroom.

85 would be excellent right about now, it is going to cool into the low to mid 80s tomorrow but the humidity will still be around. I'm just tired of this unbearable heat.

Hang in there.. hopefully it will cool down there like it has here...

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.

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.

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.

Wendsday was 100 for the first time since august 2001 here too

then storms with 55-60mph winds ended that

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.

And the unbearable heat is coming back. Mid 90s for the next three days at least. And it cools down in the weekend only to heat back up next week.

You guys might have to come to Florida just to cool off!

Seriously that is some unreal heat.

[ict1523]

97 today.

98 tomorrow with heat indexes getting to 105+.

[Hurricaneman]

[ict1523]

Well yesterday broke many records here. Hit 97 in Central Park, record, 96 in LGA, record, 98 in Newark, record, 93 in Montauk, record, 95 in Islip, record, they were all over the place.
