How high is the dew point expected to go?

Yeah but a 30C temp with a 24C dew point only produced a heat index of 35C. Does that really qualify a heat warning?

Edit: I forget that you use a humidex, not heat index, which those temps/humidity would give a humidex reading of 41C (way over inflated imo).

You need to look more on the bright side even though it can be tough with a bad pattern. I see quite a few days above avg in that forecast (8 days I believe) . You sound like me in winter with the negativity.

Sat: 26C
Sun: 27/21C

Wed: 32/33C
Thu: 34/24C
Fri: 33/26C


George, what pattern creates above normal temps and avg precip in the Mid-Atlantic. Our avg July temp is over 3F above avg, and our rainfall might exceed average at this point with more rain forecast today. Currently rainfall here is right on avg and everything is lush green at this point. Doesn't sound like La Nina to me. More like 2012.


Edit oops not like 2012 as 2012 was dry in July.

3F above average?! Aha so Bastardi was right afterall

You're getting a southern flow right up the coast. Probably a result of the Bermuda High
Let me look into your recent pattern to double check. Remember, we aren't in a La Nina yet. It's been ENSO neutral for most of the summer and not up until the last couple of weeks has region 3.4 dipped into weak La Nina territory.

Humid today. Temp 29C but dewpoint 23C, so it feels like 33C. I walked 6 blocks and was sweating early this morning. Low was only 75F (24C).

He wasn't right cause he said bone dry and westerly winds. The winds are mostly onshore recently or just straight south. We have gotten loads of rain recently. He never predicted that.
