wow really. 84?! Dew point records are not well kept in this area but that would likely be a record. I think the record for philly is 82. Some upstate cities records are 78 - 80, so that gives an ideas of the max dew points known in mid atlantic to northeast.
The humidity is more noteworthy than the heat. I cant recall dew pts 75+ here for an extended period of time like this. Maybe some spikes into upper 70s for a day then back down to 70, but several days approaching 80, wow.

This is worse than Miami cuz Mia almost never gets into the upper 90s.

I wish, we had a wetdown for a new firetruck in town, they needed the ambulance to standby. Had 5 patients with heat related issues just after 3:00. Hit 97° with a heat index of 116°. I plan on staying in now until work Monday morning!
