officially my first heatwave...some not so lucky

Monday: 90
Tuesdsay: 95
Wednesday: 93

should bump up a bit tomorrow and Friday...Saturday has potential more cloudiness and perhaps some showers moving through that might keep highs closer to 90

Sunday though may be the hottest of the heatwave with highs in the mid to perhaps upper 90s

Atlantic City no hotter than 84 degree. Very strange
Talked about this earlier. You can really see the influence of the S/SW winds off the still-cool ocean/bay in today's map (and same has been true the past few days) of high temps in NJ, with highs in the upper 70s into the low/mid-80s along Delaware Bay and the Atlantic Ocean and even inland 5-10 miles from each.

Anytime I hear the phrase "one hit wonder", I think of him first.

A couple of things: Mungo Jerry was a band, not a person. In The Summertime was their first single, it was a worldwide #1 hit which is why it finally got exposure in the US. The band was out of the UK, and had a number of other hits after this one in the UK territories (Aus, NZ, Ireland) and in Europe, but nothing ever hit the charts in the US.

Around 2013 I rode my bike in confirmed 107 F. That was in NY where the governor just excitedly reported that NY had never hit 100 F before.

Yesterday the drivers were really sloppy and bad. Three localish fatalities that I know of. Way too many state road construction projects (part money laundering operations) in small areas.

Had our company picnic yesterday, just too damn hot to do anything in the sun other than go in the pool. Definitely cruel to be out there. Spent the time in the shade or in the pavilion.

When it’s that hot you don’t even want to eat that much.

The summer is going to be hot? Wow, never would have guessed that.

What's next! Possible snow in the winter? :)

Today I drove from Washington Township in Gloucester County to Atlantic City. About 45 miles. I watched the outside temperature on the car thermometer drop from 96 to 78.

Wrong thread?

Sometimes the roads make temps rise. Back in the 90s when I was going to Jersey a lot the temps would go up 10 degrees every time I hit 287. Concrete and asphalt absorb and store heat.

Speaking of heat, I'm watching my 10th Era Tour gig (UK this week) and realized Taylor swift never sweats. Maybe they have blowers or something? Do some people not sweat? I would be soaked after 2 minutes.

Here's a decent vid (Cardiff) if interested (sound get better after a few minutes but the visuals are great)

Try May in Bangkok. 21 straight days of 100+ degree days. High one day was 107, temp not heat index.
Back in the US for three weeks. Was a chilly 86 today in Tampa.
