Now it's even hotter

Yes, we've officially joined the "Century" club. No, that's no relation to the "Mile High" club. ;) It hit 100F here yesterday, and it's officially 100F outside now as I type this. (38C doesn't sound quite as hot, or record-breaking.) Fortunately the central air in our building seems to be coping with the heat without any problems.

So, any bets on ( Read more... )

Still only 97 in Nashua. It was supposed to hit 101 today but might not make it. I won't complain.

Only 97? That must be close to a record for Nashua.

"So, any bets on how high the temperature is going to go today?"

Too? :(

It was pretty awful here in eastern Mass., but a bunch of thunderstorms came through around 6 PM and it's much less awful now. Which is good, because our multi-room A/C was shutting itself off several times earlier in the day. It's been behaving itself since, though.

Sorry to hear about the A/C misbehaving. We seem to be missing all these lines of thunderstorms that are supposed to cool us off -- well, cool us off a little. Then again, since the last line of severe thunderstorms that went through here caused scattered power outages, including where I live, I don't really miss them. A little cooler would be nice though.

Apparently, Adam and Ailsa's area did not miss the thunderstorms, although they escaped pretty much unharmed. We just got a lot of thunder, some wind, and a little bit of rain here. It was hot today (Thursday), but it was a bluish and white sky, not the mock turtle soup gray of high humidity. It's much cooler out now (9 PM). The high in Boston (Logan airport?) on Wednesday was 98.

Maybe someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's a new (cooler) mass of air moving into an area that drops temperatures. The thunderstorms are just a by-blow of the current and new air masses colliding.
