I know that a lot of people that I have spoken to across the country have noted that this week coming up could be the hottest it's been in awhile, especially here in Pennsylvania (Last year, Pittsburgh had one day over 90F. Now, all week is forecast to be in or near the 90s, with the highest temps to be tomorrow and Wednesday, both at 95, according to NWS. Philly, you ask? 100F, with humidities expected to increase as a front nears the region.) Lots and lots of record highs expected to be set.
I would expect that since a lot of you live along the eastern seaboard, that you're going to see likewise in the next couple of days.
Now, for discussion's sake, a couple of questions that I'd like to have answered (and I'll answer myself):
-What do you usually do to cool off when temps are this high? (Stay inside mostly, although occasionally I'll cool myself spraying a hose on mist straight up).
-What was the hottest day you remember? (Probably for me, OCMD, in 2004. ~96 and a ~73 degree dewpoint, heat index ~111. Thank God it was the beach.)
-Do you like hot weather as opposed to cold weather? (Yea, mostly because it's easier to turn on the A/C as opposed to heating up my car.)
The good thing is it's weather and not climate, so it should cool off later in the week. (Or so we hope.) :D

This heat and this humidity is just murder. Not to mention the air conditioning is out of order at work, so I sit all day in a 90-something degree office.
-
Over in Vermont, the humidity is not oppressive.
Nothing like Missouri in June, 2010, which had dewpoints like Florida!
The dewpoint in Missouri was right near 80 F!
-
76 F right now. And relative humidity at 85 %.
-
In Michigan it was humid and hot... got into the 90s with heat index's into the high 90s as far as I know... however, i'm a lucky duck. I was in the 70s with rain in Iowa :bleh:

Actually your humidity is only in the 30s with a dew point in the mid 60s. This is a mainly dry heat for most in the Northeast for today.

78 F across from the town hall.

Hot this morning too. 82F at the moment. Just had an air quality alert issued.

Already 91 in Fall River, MA (http://preview.weather.com/weather/today/02721:4:US)
and 94 in Kenyon, RI (http://preview.weather.com/weather/today/41.446605,-71.624891+60+Sherman+Ave::1kg2e565dw546v6t5z1t2b2ir306z5q584e1q+02836:4:US)

It's 95 already and it's only 11am.

91 Degrees here in East Lansing, with dewpoints in the 70s... and an Excessive Heat advisory was issued not to long ago. Theres also an air quality alert issued for Monroe county and Wayne... probably more counties are affected.

It's only 91F right now in State College, but I was outside for an hour (Arts Fest, big outdoor art trade show) and was sweating like mad. I drank two bottles of water and almost passed out on the bus after I got in the A/C.
Philadelphia appears to have gotten the taste of a good-size sea breeze front which apparently cooled it off a little bit, which is good. We're going to probably remain high and dry (but hot and humid) for now. Frontal system tomorrow...not great lapse rates or shear, so just regular ol' thunderstorms, but you can never rule out a good soaking. (Bad thing is there's probably half a million dollars worth of art out for display across State College. You know, you give, you take.)
-
Staying cooler in my area now that an ULL is just spinning right off the coast for us. We could really use a bit of rain for VA

Thanks to this heat wave from last week, a lot of the Mid-Atlantic is flagged for abnormally dry or drought conditions. You can check out the Drought Monitor for yourself. I sure hope we get some rain soon, or it's going to be a really hot and dry summer.

Yeah it has been. We've had very few days with measurable rainfall and it's needed for the crops and plants down here.
