A big part of the entire country got a chance to experience some impressive high temperatures during a seven-day stretch that finally came to an end Thursday night.
It covered New Hampshire for seven consecutive days with high temps on all of those days ranging from 91-96. With no rain falling, vegetable gardens and flower gardens took a hit unless they were watered every evening.
With all those warm nights, vegetable gardens shot up, however. A day of steady rain soon would certainly be appropriate and most welcome.
On July 4th the high for the day was 70 at the Mount Washington Observatory. The record high of 72, recorded in 1939. withstood the challenge. That record high was set in 1939.
According to the Mount Washington weather summary, the broad weather patterns that triggered the intense heat wave in New England began to move out of the region on Thursday. High pressure that has been pumping hot southerly air into New Hampshire will finally move out to sea. The report stated.
As that wind was headed east, cooler air moved in during the early evening hours accompanied by high winds that helped move the temperature downward. In fact, it was jacket weather.
There were some downpours of rain, however, most welcome by vegetable gardeners and farmers.
