OT: One heatwave ends, another begins, and a sneaky third probable

Lost our electricity from about 6pm last night until a little after 3am this morning. Not cool! Didn't get much sleep so cannot wait to go home from my office later....
 
Odd post??? I said Sunday and Monday would be the peak and that is true.

94 imby today for the high

Looks like several places hit 97 today

Odd?

94 just seems like a regular July day. Not even high 90s. Over-hyped nothingburger.

Should leave weather threads to Numbers.

Crap, that sux, big time!
Mine just went off for 3 seconds and I was thinking "NOT TODAY SATAN, not TODAY!"

Thankfully it's back on

Is there a rule only Al Roker can post? I must've missed that. I think I'll start 50 threads on weather and hmmm...ice cream!

Btw..it's hot AF in Jersey today. It was 85 degrees at 3am. I'm soft, I know. Lol

FYI...bac busts balls every winter thread so deserves it right back for this non-event. 94 ...lol.
 
94 but feels 183.

Lol. What's the humidity?

I've had mid/high 90s all month and believe it snuck up to 100 a couple times. But ...dry heat, ftw!

Still, I try not to step outdoors until after 6 pm.

Lol. Poor dogs.

My dog's a mountain breed with double coat. Not a fan of summer. If we go to play at the park, she will find the only tree there and just plop in the shade the whole time. If there's no tree, she'll just sit down behind me and use my shadow.

Had a late push to 95 imby

Day 1: 92
Day 2: 96
Day 3: 95

Tuesday will be another hot sunny day with a tad less humidity, extending the heatwave to a day 4. Highs in the low to mid 90s

Whether Wednesday and Thursday hit 90 or above depends on cloud cover and the possibility of storms.
 
Also after a brief respite over the weekend with highs only in the upper 80s, there is a potential for a big ridge over the central US to move eastward bringing another possible heatwave next week but models are uncertain this far out

Too soon to start a new thread on that but that could change by the weekend

Went mountain biking down at Hartshorne this afternoon, this is the weather I live for (or will kill me), I love a great sweat.

I rode from Philly to A.C. My goal was to leave around 5:45/6:30 but life things happen and I didn't hit the road till after 7am. I paid the price. The last hour was brutal. Glad I finished but won't do that again in this heat.
 
Wow..good for you. I'd be passed out on the road. Haha
I struggled today. I've been riding a lot but today was not a good day and the weather was just a part of it. Watching baseball late night wasn't a good decision. But...

Man, you were right on bikes. Went to three local shops earlier this month and they were cleaned out! Each one had exactly one bike within range of what I was looking for.

My wife just got her first real bike.
I told her she can't ride out of our neighborhood until she got a helmet.

Any reasonable recommendations of a brand to look into?

One of you weather gurus ,please explain this one.About 18 years ago, I took my middle Grandson,then 15 years old, to Seaside from his home in Westampton,NJ.A very hot,bright sunny day that hit 102 mid afternoon.We went over the bridge,parked and headed for the boards.We noticed that ,at once, it was a lot cooler then when we had left Westampton. GOT ON THE BOARDS ,WINDY AND COLD. Not cooler,COLD.We were wearing Tee shirts.Went into a casino so that Eric could play the machines.Freezing wind.Both of us were extremely uncomfortable.After a very short ,shivering while we gave up and went back to the car.As soon as we got back over the bridge ,I opened a window and we were back in the HOT air again.I reflected many times since, that I should have found a store and bought us a couple of sweat shirts and enjoyed the anomaly.So someone please explain why the actual COLD on the boards..

It's not an anomaly. It's actually fairly routine especially in the spring and early summer. Air temps inland can be in the 90s and in the low 60s even 50s along the beach. Simply ocean temps and winds blowing onshore.

Perhaps you should consult RU#'s about this.
 
It took me 5 seconds to look up what IMBY means. And another 15 to type these sentences. Ugh.
