As I said..... Goodbye well below normal month just from a couple of days of heat.
Hartford was -3.8° below normal for May on the 15th (9th coldest)
Now ....... they are only -0.9°. Basically near normal.
JUST FROM 3 DAYS OF HEAT. Today may actually bring them right to normal.
If the rest of the month ends up even just near normal, the cold first half will never be known looking at monthly data. Just because of 3-4 days in the entire month ruining the data
The houses here are really bad at retaining heat (or too good). It's quite chilly outside but feels sticky and humid on the inside. There is even vapor on the windows, the type you see when you're sitting in a heated car on a freezing day
wind switched from a strong south wind to a west wind. Drying out; 88°F with a dewpoint of 57°F, 66°F in the morning. Forecast to cool fast before sunset, unlike yesterday. Yesterday had a high of 96°F, 94°F at 6 pm, 86°F at sunset, dropped to 70°F a bit after 11 pm post rainstorm.
Temp climbed to 98°F while I was driving on the Long Island Expressway this afternoon. It was 96-97°F almost the entire ride from central Long Island towards NYC.
I know car thermometers can give erroneous readings, but not with the rush of air that comes with driving at 70 mph.
Wow! That must of been incredible to feel. And during the day. I was going to ask if there was intense winds but graph shows winds died down during the drop? Like Day after Tomorrow movie. Lol
Looks like you were having SW winds before the change in air mass, then switched to NW now NE.
With all of the recent unseasonably warm weather the past several days in Indianapolis, the monthly temperature departure according to weather data through yesterday, shows that May 2017 is essentially near average for the month to date so far, and with today's 0.60 inches of rain, it appears virtually certain that May 2017 will be another wetter than average month here in Indy. I suspect that May 2017 won't be any more than 2 Degrees Cooler than normal, even with the below average temperatures for the rest of this month.
Interesting the cold front was so dry while last night had a big storm but no a real cold front. I wonder why? Last night's storms weren't frontal, right?
