Hot and dry is fine. It's humidity that I hate.

Definetly more tolerable. And if we dont get a lot of rain the dry ground will keep dewpoints tamed. But because of dry ground, the air can get hotter.

Dewpoints stayed under 48 today.. Danbury & Hartford was in the 30s mostly. Nice!

Heres the 7pm dewpoints.

Seasons are not in our hands, but we can find out ways to tackle them. I am sure you will also agree that decision of shifting form your home town, leaving your house, friends’ surroundings is not so, easy. Besides, no one can guarantee that the place you will going to shift will not going to have any of the problem.

Here I suggest that by doing simple modifications in your house, automatically, can make your life better. For instance, you can renovation of the house premises, like you can do changes in your bathroom and living area. A place, were you generally, spend your time more. In summers, you can enjoy your bath in your personal small chakuzi, after that you can have a glass of beer.

In winters, you can enjoy cooking in your remodeled kitchen; this will keep your warm and cozy.

today then oAccording to the Union of Concerned Scientists Connecticut's climate which has been relatively stable over the last 8,000 years of the current interglacial the 'Holocene' will change rapidly the rest of this century.

There are different scenarios of change based on carbon emissions. Effects of Global Warming in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut | Union of Concerned Scientists

Under a lower emissions scenario the Tri state region will have a climate similar to present day Maryland, starting around 2040. Under a higher emissions scenario, the climate will be more like present day Virginia away from the Piedmont.

After 2070 Connecticut and the Tri State region could resemble coastal South Carolina and Georgia, under a lower emissions scenario southern VA and North Carolina. Hartford by mid century could see over 50 days each summer with temperatures over 90 degrees F in a higher emissions scenario Global Warming and Extreme Heat in Hartford, Connecticut | Union of Concerned Scientists

If C02 passes 450ppm by 2035 the higher emissions scenario is likely. If we manage to stay under that benchmark, less warming will take place, however it will be warmer then today by a fair degree. C02 today stands near 404ppm- (rising 2-3ppm a year currently)throughout the last million years C02 stood at 280ppm in every interglacial- there have been 8 interglacials. During the last one 125,000 years ago- the 'Eemian' it was warmer then today by about 0.5 degrees C- sea levels where 4-6 meters higher then today globally. C02 changes over the last million years in the atmosphere where caused by astronomical cycles 'Milanokovic cycles'. Also remember although the Eemian was slightly warmer then today- C02 levels where around 280ppm- the difference today is the long term time factor- it will likely ne at least 2 degrees C warmer by mid century then in the Eemian - C02 levels will be much higher- there is a time lag in the climate system.

Here's how the models are doing, accuracy-wise:
