Just an observation and disco thread about the heatwave so we have it separate from the monthly thread in case some records are broken
99.5 here but my Tempest is situated between my yellow vinyl siding house on one side, and my white shed on the other. Sunlight gets reflected onto it, literally hottest spot on the property so I'm sure it always a couple degrees hot right thereForgot I started this thread.
98.6 today
Currently KIXA 88/81 HI 106.... let it cookRR Airport always has higher DPs (proximity to Roanoke River) but should lend credence to those stupid HI forecast
Hopefully after Tuesday the worst of the heat this summer is over.Our epic heat wave is now basically 3 days in the upper 90s then a front comes through![]()
As for MBY, looks like 98 for today. I went up to the Great Balsams and hid in the elevation for the day, even up there just above 5k’ it got to 78.8!GSP appears to have clipped 100F for the first time in 13 years today. If it was a rounding oddity on the 5-min obs, 100 will almost certainly come in the next few days
That's what my car was reading going down 40.102.7 today. Thrilling
Yeah kinda strange really. This was supposed to be the coolest day out of the wave with a forecast of 96 but made all the way to 100. CLT all the way to 101 with both locations beating out CAE which only got to 99. Both CAE and AVL (only got to 90) underachieved so I kinda feel cheated to be honest. Maybe there was some down slope heating or something?GSP appears to have clipped 100F for the first time in 13 years today.

More mixing did occur in a pocket from the Upstate of SC thru a good chunk of NC where some locations mixed out dewpoints into the upper 60s, low 70s. Most locations closer to the coastline never did mix out as much and stayed in the mid 70s to 80 dewpoints.Yeah kinda strange really.
