It was fairly hot and humid in New Hampshire today. Mid-90's.

I looked at the weather in TV. 105, with a Heat Index of 126?

I've played golf (18 holes walking) with a heat index of 103/104 ... but 126?

Did people actually go outside today?

It was hot but I’m not sure it got that hot. I was out most of the day, not playing golf, and it felt like a normal summer day. Hot and sticky.

I was outside lots, because it wasn't that hot. First of all, the 105 temperature is bogus. My thermometer max was only 95, which matched the closest official NWS sensor at Leesburg ... Aviation Weather Center (https://aviationweather.gov/data/metar/?id=KLEE&hours=48) Furthermore, the heat index was only 99 degrees. Most importantly, this heat is primarily the result of Tonga volcano. And guess what -- it's been hotter in the past, when CO2 was much lower.

My Tempest weather station had a short spike of 101 with a heat index of 117 but stayed around 96 with a 101 heat index late afternoon.

At 10 pm, temp is 86 with a heat index of 97.

Exactly right - it is the hottest in recent history - but not for the full historic record. It's now hot for 3 reasons (and none are CO2 related). 1. The AMO (Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation) is still in its warm phase. 2. Sunspot cycle #25 is peaking. 3. Last and most important is the unprecedented amount of water vapor (earth's primary greenhouse gas) that the Tonga volcano ejected into the stratosphere - 10 miles up and higher - which is causing an unprecedented global warming spike as seen in attached satellite temperature graph. Updates on Tonga and Hurricanes will be presented during all Weather Club meetings this summer season. PS ... contrary to what the media claims, the Atlantic and Pacific tropical cyclone season was late getting started ... find out why at the Weather Club.

Is your temperature sensor at least 100 feet from building or pavement and about 3 meters above the ground? These are official NWS temperature observation siting rules -- which many official NWS observation sites fail to follow and thus read too hot -- which is why the climate crisis claim is bogus. This will covered in detail at the September Weather Club session ... The Villages Weather Club (https://www.theweatherclubvillages.com/)

No Tongan eruption effects here in UK.
Last year, summer was washed out with El Niño, this year the Jet Stream is too far south, and temperatures struggle to get into the 60's during day, and drop into the 40's at night.
Plus, we now have the Wimbledon effect, and it's bl**dy raining most days! :cus:

It’s the “feels like” temp that you need to be careful of. The humidity here is no joke and will get you when you least expect it. They have issued heat advisories the past few days and though I didn’t spend much time outdoors, it’s been fairly overcast which has made it tolerable.

That's exactly what it means, and it is no different for thousands of years. There will always be a "hottest summer" of the last 30,100,500, or 2000 years---until there is another one. There will also always be a coldest summer as well. What I object to is the subliminal messaging now incorporated into the TV weather reports. If the high for the day is predicted to be 96 or 97, they report that as "near 100+". If the high is only 88, they report the "heat index" will be 100, and put up the area map showing heat indices rather than actual temps. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but it certainly looks like the MSM is either actively or passively pushing the fallacious "climate change" agenda.

I doubt it. I played golf yesterday (Sunday) afternoon, walked with a pull cart, and though it was hot I think I've been out there when it has been hotter. I was far from the only person out there: on very hot days the courses are pretty much deserted.

It is like the cold up north. Nowadays it is a big deal with ultra-cold temps seemingly leading every newscast, but back in the day we'd check the thermometer in the mornings: if it was -20 or so it was "cold" and anything below that didn't matter. It was just more of the same. Some mornings it was below -40. How much below we didn't know because mercury freezes and breaks the thermometer at that temperature.

People obsess about things like that and media merely feeds the frenzy. Cold--hot--take sensible precautions and don't let it control your life.

I worked in the yard yesterday, yes it was hot but I didn't think any hotter than normal for this time of year. During a break in front of a fan in the garage, i heard on WVLG radio the temperature was 98 ° with a heat index of 110°. This was probably between 3 and 4 pm.

As usual, it is not so easy to parse the data and conclude that Tonga is causing an increase in temperature. Usually volcanoes cause a decrease in temperature due to the reflective nature of particles ejected into the atmosphere.

But Tonga also ejected a huge volume of water into the upper atmosphere and the water vapor would increase earth temperature.

The article below points out, that the reflective nature of the Tonga particles was overlooked in the first Tonga analysis. The water vapor in the upper atmosphere would heat the earth. The reflective Tonga paricles (like dust) cool the earth. The net effect from the Tonga volcano is slight cooling.


Plain Language Summary as provided in the article below:

The Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai submarine volcanic eruption on 15 January 2022 produced aerosol and water vapor plumes in the stratosphere. These plumes have persisted mostly in the Southern Hemisphere throughout 2022. Enhanced tropospheric warming due to the added stratospheric water vapor is offset by the larger stratospheric aerosol attenuation of solar radiation. The change in the radiative flux could result in a very slight cooling in Southern Hemisphere surface temperatures

That article does a good job of minimizing water vapor and highlighting aerosols. But it fails to mention that the water vapor was much more extensive in space and time, while it neglected to note that the aerosols are falling out faster. Even though published earlier, this better paper fairly examines both factors in greater detail -- clearly concluding the net effect is significant warming ... Global perturbation of stratospheric water and aerosol burden by Hunga eruption | Communications Earth & Environment (https://www.nature.com/articles/s43247-022-00652-x) . Furthermore, you really don't need these "sciency" papers to tell you want is happening. "Common Sense" tells you Tonga is the primary reason why the Tropospheric temperature spike (see below graph) is so dramatic as compared to past spikes.

The Smart Meter tech couldn't fix the problem. Said for us to call SunKool and who said we'll have to wait four more hours for a repairman. The SM tech said this was not a rare problem but it does happen when installing their system. I wonder why would they choose 100 degree weather in Florida to do this installation when there are many elderly people here.

I never heard the term heat index growing up so I googled it.

“The heat index was developed in 1979 by Robert G. Steadman.”

However, I don’t recall it being widely used until the last 10-15 years. I first noticed it when the weather forecast on tv showed temperatures in the 105-110 range but the forecast was in the mid 90s. I remember thinking the forecast was wrong and then I heard the term heat index. They should put both onscreen - the temperature and the heat index.

I wonder what the heat index was when I was a kid and the actual temperature was low 100s. And we didn’t have air conditioning. But a lot of things were easier when we were younger.

When the power is interrupted and stops the compressor momentarily and rapidly restarts it, there is not enough time for the system pressures to equalize

When power is rapidly reapplied, it tries to start against a high head pressure and can be hard on a compressor. Or the motor start capacitor

SECO could advise people to turn their thermostat up before they swap out the meter to reduce this risk

What did SunKool find?

Played 18 this afternoon in the hill towns of western Massachusetts during the hazy, hot (mid 90’s), and humid dog days of summer. According to the weather channel, the heat index was about identical in the Villages today. Can’t wait until next week when we will be at our Villages home. If we are going to deal with the heat, we might as well be in the Villages where we can enjoy central air conditioning and our pool after playing golf : ) This heat sucks without air conditioning, but you can’t put ductwork in the walls of a log home and a ductless mini split doesn’t cut it in an open home with vaulted ceilings.

Not at our house (Lake Sumter area) for sure ! It was about 92, worked in the yard a good part of the day, and certainly hotter than any summer I remember for many years (Florida native) but 105, no way.

If the temperature in the Gulf of Mexico with trillions of gallons and 2-mile depth in spots could climb to 105, why wouldn't the pools in TV be boiling. Where were all the dead fish???? Meanwhile, they had a reporter standing right on the beach----why not show him putting a thermometer in the water and show the world the "105 temp". Yep, we all know why. With $168 trillion proposed to fight "climate change", I wouldn't put anything past those that stand to gain.

You are right. When the temperature gets below/above a certain point, it really doesn't matter. For me it was about 10 below (in Minnesota). If my car would start and there wasn't too much of a danger of black ice then it was business as usual. I hope to never have to live in that again. I'll take the heat any day of the week.

"Real Feel" was developed by AccuWeather as a tool to better report what the temp feels like under different conditions across the temperature scale over 20 years ago. It is indeed trademarked by them, the developers.

https://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-news/accuweather-realfeel/784

Interesting, the 'wind chill' index years ago (early 1940's) was noted to have an error in the calculations (or a result of how it was developed) not found for many years and was overestimating the 'chill'. This apparently lead to the plethora of other representations for what the temperature feels like.

Wind Chill Chart (https://www.weather.gov/ddc/windchillddc#:~:text=History%3A%20The%20earliest%2 0wind%20chill,suspended%20from%20a%20tall%20pole).

I trust the 'Real Feel' more then the others for what that is worth over the temperature scale.

I saw a short clip from WESH2 News yesterday (8th) that showed the “feels like” temp for The villages at 118, which was the highest temp shown on their Central FL map. At the time my Apple Watch was showing the temp here where I live south of 44 to be 91. Crazy that their weather map wasn’t showing the actual true temp. We laughed at the 118 because it felt nowhere near that to us.

Ahhh....the Weather Club....more aptly named THE WHETHER CLUB. It is whether you want to believe opinion (theirs) or scientific facts (backed by thousands of peer reviewed scientific publications).

Run by pseudo scientists with no applicable degrees, the Whether Club presenters rely upon fabricated opinion that is not supported by a single peer reviewed scientific publication. Peer reviewed articles are the gold standard in science. If you ask the Whether Club presenters for any peer reviewed article supporting their statements, they will just simply claim that the peer review system is totally political and leave it at that. All they have is their opinions purportedly backed by no science whatsoever!

So, if you attend a WHETHER CLUB meeting, wear galoshes. They are not for the rain but for other fluids that seem to flow in those meetings. Fluids that you don't want your skin touching!

Ahhh....the Weather Club....more aptly named THE WHETHER CLUB. It is whether you want to believe opinion (theirs) or scientific facts (backed by thousands of peer reviewed scientific publications).

Run by pseudo scientists with no applicable degrees, the Whether Club presenters rely upon fabricated opinion that is not supported by a single peer reviewed scientific publication. Peer reviewed articles are the gold standard in science. If you ask the Whether Club presenters for any peer reviewed article supporting their statements, they will just simply claim that the peer review system is totally political and leave it at that. All they have is their opinions purportedly backed by no science whatsoever!

So, if you attend a WHETHER CLUB meeting, wear galoshes. They are not for the rain but for other fluids that seem to flow in those meetings. Fluids that you don't want your skin touching!

The appeal to peer (or pal) review is dangerous. Einstein faced numerous such challenges, and ignored them all, because politics is based on consensus, while science is based on data. The Weather Club uses data to illustrate why there is no climate crisis. Anyone is welcome to bring proof to the contrary -- but so far no one can -- although many have tried.

It’s the “feels like” temp that you need to be careful of. The humidity here is no joke and will get you when you least expect it. They have issued heat advisories the past few days and though I didn’t spend much time outdoors, it’s been fairly overcast which has made it tolerable.
Also wind speed is a factor. Low wind speed like we have had lately makes a person feel hotter and makes exercise in the afternoon more dangerous than usual. Florida normally has wind speeds like around 15 MPH.

I played tennis yesterday (Monday morning) and all of us said it was the hottest we have felt. We cut it short for the first time that I recall in the 16 years I've played here. I didn't check the real temp. Just jumped in the pool as soon as I got home.
I would say that this is a good PRACTICAL warning. Age is also a big factor. A 55 year old may be able to handle the heat - whereas a person in their late 70s could be endangering their health. Playing tennis is for both fun and improved health. If it is too hot to be fun, then it might be detrimental, rather than beneficial, to your health. The same would be true for pickle ball, golf, and softball. The only sports activity that I will do THIS summer is swimming because of my age mainly. Also, the summers are getting hotter and the gulf and ocean waters are hotter each year for the last 15 years. So, there is more moisture in the air, which jacks up the "feels like" temperature.

When the power is interrupted and stops the compressor momentarily and rapidly restarts it, there is not enough time for the system pressures to equalize

When power is rapidly reapplied, it tries to start against a high head pressure and can be hard on a compressor. Or the motor start capacitor

SECO could advise people to turn their thermostat up before they swap out the meter to reduce this risk

What did SunKool find? Sun Kool found the rotor motor was damaged and replaced it for a cool $800+.

Lived in Florida much of my life and have rarely experienced temps above 100. Tampa's record high is 99 deg, lower than many large NE US cities.

Thanks for the snow/hail report. There are "COLD" weather "record" reports occurring everyday around the world, but the media rarely tells you -- but you can find some of those stories here ... Home - Cold Weather Report (http://coldweatherreport.com/)

We’ve been in the mid to upper 90’s for a week up here. That’s why we go to the beaches, mountains and lakes....to enjoy summer. In a month or so ppl will start the ‘sun is setting to early’ or ‘it’s too cold’ whine and cheese talk. Such a short window....the four seasons anyway. Gotta love having options in life

The summer heat and humidity in the Villages doesn’t bother me at all, it’s the friggin lightning that wreaks havoc. Afternoon and evening outdoor activities are hit or miss, and miss seems to win out more often than not. Started rounds of golf the last four afternoons and only was able to finish once, barely. And when I attempt to swim laps in the evening I feel like I’m risking my life. Looks like I need to alter my sleep habits and start getting up early if I want to do stuff outside without risking getting electrocuted. No wonder it costs more to golf in the morning.
