DC is getting what we had yesterday. Only difference is that they are seeing a bit higher air tempd and we had a bit higher dew points.

nice drop in humidity this morning. Was around 69°F last night, dropped to 61°F this morning with half the drop mid-morning. Really noticeable change in just a couple of hours. Feels nice out.

Dewpoint 70°. Ugh.

Maybe I should get rid of my garden and put sand there instead. Ugh.

11 of last 13 days has hit 70°. Ugh.

Ironically the sky is fall like blue and no haze. Gettimg some weird days this summer. Lol

What a summer. Tropical air is dominating.

65 consecutive hours with a dewpoint of 70F or higher.

I don't agree with this scale, it's too general. Calling the entire 60s "uncomfortable" seems like an exaggeration. There's a very noticeable difference between a 61 F and a 69 F dew point. And calling all of the 70s "oppressive" is also. 71 F and 79 F don't feel the same. Lower 70s dew point is uncomfortable for sure, but not unbearable. A 78 F dew point on the other hand is definitely oppressive.

It all depends on what you are used to. I guess most people in northwest europe would agree that a dewpoint above 20c (68f) is definitley oppressive.
