Let's try this again! I had to laugh seeing that somehow a zero got added to
all the CT temperatures. Looks pretty hot!
Hi All,
You'll probably have to use full screen for this, but here is a quick
copy of numbers from the Weather Channel for temperatures for Prospect, CT
compared to the numbers for London the Gene gave us. I thought it was
interesting. Take a look and you'll see it's not the average temperatures
that bother us at all. CT mean temp is lower than London average temp in
every case. (Let's not get our statistics books out here!) The Avg. High in
CT isn't that bad either, but it sure gets hot here in Connecticut in the
summer! I'm not sure how many years are included in this, if its just the
past year, or many years, but it becomes a case where the above average days
are what cause problems... where the difference between air temp and the
under-bonnet temp or even engine/radiator temp is not great enough to
effectively transfer heat to the surrounding air. Its the difference that
matters. Also how hard the engine has been worked before shutting it off for
a short stop.
Now if we can just keep the heat away from our carbs and fuel lines!
P.S. Did you ever notice how hot pavement is in the sun on a hot day? Add 20
or 30 degrees!
