14. It has been humid too with high dewpoints

since late last week along the I-95 corridor. They just dropped our heat advisory here in Philly last night. There is a front coming through now that is starting to drop the dewpoints and it is probably finally reaching NYC...

In the congested cities like NYC and here, the density of the stone, brick, and masonry buildings, concrete/cement sidewalks and other objects, plus miles and miles of asphalt streets, make it a literal furnace when you are in the central parts of these cities during and just after heat waves... and the temps are usually higher in those locations than the airports where the "official" temps are taken.
