What was the hottest place? Somewhere west of Albany according to the map, looks like 97-98 was the highest temperature.
Rochester didn’t do too bad at 93 (34 C), but still disappointing given the forecasts and the potential as it was so hot so early.
So the stupid ass cock shower that ruined the heat today and cooled the temp off during the hottest part of the day...only 0.14” (4 mm) and NO THUNDER. What a fucking waste.
At least a combo of 93/75 is pretty epic for us, heat index of 105 (41 C) was the highest since at least 2016, maybe earlier.

That would be considered epic here. |

97 in Albany ~ so jealous! The town of Binghamton itself probably reached 93-94, airport reached a rare 90F. Elmira with 96F, damn 92F high in LaGuardia Airport. Second day in a row reaching 90F, and sixth time this year...already matching the crummer of 2014  Hopefully we'll end up with around around twenty 90F days again |

Although you’re dry heat is pretty epic in the opposite way, like when you get like 105/15 combos. It's very rare. If it does happen, it'll be a short-lived spike with a heavy shower/storm on a hot day. I can't ever remember it happening for a prolonged time with a general airmass of tropical origin. Dews of 20-21C are usually the max in that situation and can last a full day or more. The local microclimate around the river and wetlands can be muggy af on hot, still evenings, my local dewpoint got to 27C in Jan this year. But it's a very local effect, and if a breeze kicks up, then it's all over. |

Our highest dews are usually 22-24 C, so not much higher but ours are much more stable, below 10 C is pretty uncommon for summer. |

Flooding in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan last weekend. Pictures: imgur.com/a/8iZFbPwseveral sinkholes opened up and some roads are completely destroyed. Houghton, where these pictures are taken, averages 2.8"/74mm rain in June. NWS coverage of the event: www.weather.gov/mqt/fathersday2018weekendfloodingSome animations of weather radar there, and more pictures. Up to 7 inches/175mm of rain overnight. Last three days weather: w1.weather.gov/data/obhistory/KCMX.html >> 2.35 inches in an hour! 4.54" in three hours!
Madison had some flooding too, but nothing close to that.

I experienced a 97/79 combination in Little Rock, Arkansas back in July 2016, it sucked balls, heat index was 116°F. I felt like I could drink the air |

It was actually a 39/27C reading, but like I said, very local, and only lasted a short time before the breeze blew in. Was legit unreal while it lasted though. Away from the local microclimate, dews above 10C are relatively uncommon in summer here! I live right on the river, but the shopping centre is "inland", and in summer you can literally feel the difference in temps and humidity between my place and the shops. |

Dews going to drop fast. For western Massachusetts, dews in the mid40s forecast by afternoon. Was 71°F at sunrise. Deep blue sky, getting California weather.  Dry air aloft, again taking time to mix in after the cold front. Here's the skew-T plot you can see how the cold front dropped air mass temperatures by looking at Mt. Washington. Not dry aloft there; air temperature is colder at that level in Vermont and New Hampshire, maybe that's why it's saturated?  |

Damn, 39 C with a 27 C dew point is a 52 C heat index, that's insane! Would love to experience that sometime. Most I've experienced is terms of heat/dew point combo is probably like 36 C with a 26 C dew point, around Waycross, GA during July 2007. |

I felt like I could drink the air I experienced 88/84F (31/29C) in NYC in August 2016, heat index was 112F (44C). It felt like I was inhaling water, and I did feel a very very slight drowning/choking sensation at times, like I was taking in too much water if I breathed too deeply. |

I experienced a 76°F dew point in the Loire valley. The high that day was 95°F, though at the most humid it was a reasonable 85°F. Had dews of 75°F multiple times in Nice, but never above. I think it never went above 78°F there. Those 75°F dews could happen in the middle of the day or in the middle of the night though, leading to epic 80°F+ lows. Btw, this pattern of boring stratiform clouds lasting from the morning until mid-afternoon is getting real old, innit irlinit? These useless clouds can go to hell as far as I'm concerned. Gimme my epic storm clouds back, or let the sun shine.  |

Highest dew point I can remember experiencing was 23C one day in the summer of 2011 in Saskatoon with an air temperature of 31C, pretty swampy. Also experienced dew points in the 20-22C range on numerous occasions here (as well as on a pretty regular basis when I was in Montreal last summer). I remember one night in late June of 2012 when it was 25C with a 22C dew point at 11:00pm when I went to bed and I had no air conditioning in my apartment, quite a sultry night.
I wouldn't want tropical dew points all summer long but I definitely enjoy them on occasion and I'm disappointed that they don't happen more often here. We can usually expect maybe a handful of days with high dew points every year here, and usually it's just for a few hours in the evening, not all day or anything. And while we do get a decent amount of days with dew points in the 15-18C range, those are still the exception - most days are very dry. But I guess that's to be expected when you live at 52 degrees north, 500 meters in elevation, in a semi-arid climate...

Tropical wave so far has been disappointing here. Hardly got any precip despite high chances the past few days. Still good chances remain the next two days.
Meanwhile, around a foot of rain fell the past two days in Port Arthur in southeast corner of Texas.

Gimme my epic storm clouds back, or let the sun shine. Damn right! It’s been cloudy in the morning and then partly sunny in the afternoon getting very clear in the evenings since Saturday when I got here, today is an exception where it has been sunny and almost hot all day 😁 definitely can feel the UHI effect similar to London in the evenings, I’ve been fine in shorts every night when I’ve been outside |

Hopefully we'll end up with around around twenty 90F days again
