That's amazing, as I remember 2010 to be pretty hot. Hot is defined by me as having the keep the AC on all day. I had a lot of AC days that year. I do also remember some really hot days with super low humidity.

Last year I turned it on once to test it, and never used it again.

This year it was on the Sunday night through yesterday morning, though I'd say it was more humidity than heat. I was riding in the woods every day with no issues other than sweat.

Yeah, we flipped the switch after mid July. We were spoiled with those non muggy days. Humidity definitely is what drives me insane. Just have to suffer through this season and wait for the change.

It's above normal because of the stupid trough in the middle of the U.S, we're getting the return flow. It's been like that today, yesterday, for weeks. Above normal, warm, muggy, sunny..

Check out this beauty Fall storm happening right now,... It needs to be off the coast come October-March to give us that cold and snow we need.



How would you like those temps for midday August? Anomalous Fall like storm providing well below normal temps there.. Normal is 70s, not 50s & 60s.



Fall like storm happened July 29th as well. I hope this is the pattern but it needs to shift East big time otherwise expect an above normal September or Fall.

Do we have to worry about this hurricane that's going to hit Puerto Rico? Looks like a similar path to Irene…..

I'm thinking it should break apart but the thing is feisty and holding up against the shear and dry air. We'll see. Nothing being shown as a threat at all.

No threat to us. Steering winds will take it into Gulf if it survives difficult shear in Caribbean. As for the same path as Irene....no Seadoo...how is this the same path?

Nope...

Bridgeport August mean max temp so far is warmest on record.. 84.9°F. Still 11 days to input.

Mean minimum temp is 5th warmest at 68.6°F.

So this time it's the max. I think the reason for that is the mostly clear days/nights as opposed to cloudier nights.

I find that hard to believe with so few 90 plus (or deep into the 90s) days. Average August high temperature in BPT is 82 so we are higher but not eye openingly so.

I normally would to but Cambium's point may be valid given the unusual amount of days in the 80s compared to normal. I posted earlier how Central Park just broke #2 for most 80+ days in a row (even though there weren't that many 90+ days).

Graph shows how much the max temps have been above normal. Last 7 days really pushed us up. That's solely because the trough in central U.S pushed a ridge up in the East and a Bermuda High setup. Also a rare big storm went from Plains to Canada. Those are the ingredients for warmer trend and high humidity for us..

Pink dots are the normal max temps for the days.
Blue dots normal lows.

You can see last year or other months with link too.

It's really since July 19th we started the warm trend. Use link to see that.

And Hartford's had 2 official heat waves this year.

Relax…. I'm no weather expert. I know Irene hit PR and it looks like this one is hitting it too, coming from the same direction...
