Wow, Daytona Beach is not as humid as I thought, Charleston and Wilmington both have higher average dew points I believe. Cape Hatteras does too.

They don't. Slightly more variable, though.

Wow! Hatteras had an average dew point over 75 this July! Yeah they are pretty close though, closer than I expected. I agree though breaks in the humidity happen more often here as do extremes I imagine.

We need 4 more days of 70F to break the August 2014 streak. It looks we're just going to end up tying it. A great run either way.

This is the way it should be. A couple dry days for a break, then right back to tropical next week.

Must be the dog days of Summer. Lots of mid 70s around Long Island, NYC, NJ, and even parts of coastal CT





I circled all the 74°+.

84 F dewpoint in Delaware? Accurate or error?

JFK just jumped to 80 as the storms approach

Anything above 82 is suspect. It is "Dover" though... Check out the history. Was 82-84 since 10am.


I do see many 80s and 81s around so maybe off by like 2 degrees? Dover now dropped to 82

FYI ..... Rare dew point for NYC (JFK)

Max Dew point at JFK was 77° this yr July 7 & 14.


So today's 80° so far is the max of the year. I checked back to 2006.. Nope.. None.
