Looks like mid-summer is definately over now, the weather right now feels more like early autumn with a showery mix of wind and sun and highs in the upper teens (C), however during heavy showers it even drops briefly to 13 or 14°C.

But there is still a chance of a beautiful late summer in late August/September.

6:45am temps.
Clouds from Upper Level Low prevented Northern New England from a drop into the 40s again.

Vermont has same temps as northern Kentucky and Virginia.

LGA LaGuardia NYC at 67°F right now.

Central Park 64F. Most areas around them in the 50s.

Mamaroneck NY (outside the heat island) 59F. Paramus NJ 56°F.

I'm at 58°F, Minimum was 56.1!!

I cannot imagine living inside there during a "cold spell" and only dropping to 66

I'm having a hard time believing the Euro saying no widespread 80s north of NYC next 10 days. only local 80s a couple times. Pretty much North of Philly staying cooler than normal. The nail is being hammered.

Warmest frame here which is last frame long range August 26th.

Cool morning. Our low was 55F... this comes after the low was 56F (13C) yesterday morning. http://classic.wunderground.com/hist...lyHistory.html

Central AC is off in the house, windows open right now. It's a cool 61F/16C and I needed to put on a sweater.

Today at 12 PM is the midpoint of the month of August, and it definitely feels like the worst of summer is now behind us. Great feeling.

PS: Don't call it Hotlanta, that is for tourists . It'll make you stick out like a sore thumb as a new arrival here Refer to this thread:

I travel to Atlanta on tue...then to New Orleans Wed to Sunday. It looks like hot tropical weather along the Gulf states and southern USA from Wed on. Not record highs I would think, but a bit above normal it looks like. New Orleans is supposed to be like 93 F and with the high dew points near 100 F from Wed on:

yeah, you might have to escape down south for Summer warmth..

Here's NWS Boston.

So maybe the Euro is onto something struggling past 70s north of NYC next 10 days. Might touch 80s locally or few couple hours maybe.
