Why so humid this week? And more summer-like weather ahead. All in my new podcast.
This week I received a number of complaints about humidity. Folks were sweating and icy drinks were drenched on the outside.
If one was from the eastern half of the U.S. one might laugh at such complaints, but one thing is true, the dew point temperature, a potent measure of atmospheric moisture was the highest of the past month, rising to near 60F (see plot of dew point at SeaTac below).
My podcast also provides the forecast for the next week and talks about the mini-heatwave on Monday and Tuesday, when temperatures will surge into the 80s in western Washington, 90s in the Willamette Valley and over 100F in portions of the Columbia Basin (see forecast to 5 PM Monday below). Cooler along the coast and northwest Washington.
But by Wednesday, the cool marine air will come rushing back in.
