The weather station's high temp yesterday reached 83, tying the last 80+ occurrence in September. Elsewhere, Concord, Manchester, Lebanon, and many other places reached or surpassed 90.
Today things are cooler, but still summerlike. The biggest difference between yesterday and today is that you can feel the humidity today. Temp hasn't been higher than 72 but the dewpoint has reached 56 today -- at 60 it starts to become oppressive. Higher dewpoints play a large role in warming the lake.
Boat traffic yesterday was normal for a July day. It is a little quieter today, but still very active for April.
One thing that had me laughing: A few days ago, on Earth Day, I saw loads of people screaming, "Stop the warming! Look at all the record highs we're creating!" Yesterday, I saw loads of people saying, "Record highs in April! This is great! If only it would stay this way!" This is not a commentary on the issue itself, but rather an observation of human behavior I thought was hilarious.
