What was the humidity like?

Some of the friends took a cruise last year and stopped in JA...we were just talking about it the other day...the friends down there took them on a tour and a meal...she could not stop talking about how hot it was. I thought she was overeacting...but 102.

Unheard of...if this is along with 70%+ humidity? Ouch.

Really?

102 is the highest ever?

Are you kidding? I have never seen it go past 91 or 92 growing up in DA.

So if we are now getting 10° higher in an area where the temp barely change 10 degrees over nite to day, that does not bode well.

102 is the highest ever?

I read/heard it that Jamaica's record high temperature was 96°F.

A rise to 102 would be that drastic a change.

It is a rare event for JA to reach 100

That is exactly what we're talking about a three or four degree increase is 'massive'.

Saharan dust or whatever blanketing large sections of the region. The result is higher temperatures and significantly reduced rainfall.

Is that your underhanded way of saying that it's a result of the much discussed topic(s) of "Climate Change and Global Warming"?

Just saying what could be impacting the weather.

I drove over to Port Royal on Monday - the Sahara dust presence was clear - hot and hazy.

I hope this is not a precursor for a major hurricane this season in the region. Sea must be hotting up rapidly.

You mean even after the month-long sanctification and canonisation?

np 2019-06-26 19:14:30 

In reply to Ewart

that man could never and can never be sanctfied nor canonized based on his total history ... UNLESS it is a different Maaas Eddie. However, I'm sure peeps like nitro would find nuff excuses for such canonization. There have been occasions where he has done a few effective things on the socio-cultural aspects that can be counted as useful, but THOSE ARE OVER_SHADOWED by the many disgraceful stuff.

Hence I'd go for him getting a good cat-o-nining though!!

102 °F recorded, but with the humidity it must have felt even hotter.
In Miami today it is 92 °F but it feels like 103.
