Good morning, everyone! The dawn is just breaking over the mountain behind us; it looks to be a beautiful day here in the Pacific Northwest. Supposed to be in the mid-90's today, which is decidedly on the warmish side for us. 😂

Yeah, we get the "damp cold" in the winter on this side of the mountains. Humidity is currently 72%, which is nothing compared to what our C&C friends deal with in the Midwest and Southern states, but it is uncomfortable to those of us who are used to that nice on-shore flow off the Pacific which keeps "the climate" in a nice temperate range!
Have family coming in from Eastern Washington today - they are not going to enjoy the humidity!
Relative humidity % is a highly misleading measure of the level of discomfort due to humidity. Most people don't realize that there is an inverse relationship between RH % and temperature. I.e., assuming the actual amount of moisture in the air is the same, RH% goes down as temperature goes up and vice versa.
Dew point is a much better measure of uncomfortable humidity.
All I know is I was dripping with sweat by 0630 just making a lunch for Mr. "the Knife", and taking a shower is useless because I am sweating again before I even dry off! Humidity, dew point - how about I just say that it has been really muggy the past few days and today promises more of same! 😅😅😅
That's funny! I spent several hours yesterday trying to understand this 3 way relationship and I have to say I still don't have a simple understanding of how to "calculate" the discomfort. But I am surprised that people continue to use the reported RH as the gauge of discomfort.
It’s going to be in the high 90s in the state capital of MT. Us northerners will run for the air conditioning! Ugh Just praying people are smart and don’t start any fires.
Yes but at least it will cool down in the evening. In Mobile the forecast calls for high of 91 and low of 79. Not taking into account heat index. Can't get any relief from that. We don't get a break until October. It is what it is.
You live in such a historic area. I'm jealous. Francis Marion the Swamp Fox has thousands of people named after him. My great grandfather for one. I guess if you were further away from the coast you would get a better cooling off at night. It's not fun and I always laugh when folks and me make comments about how cool it is one rare morning. Even if just 2 degrees! My mothers family was in the Abbeville [Old 96th District] before coming to AL.

And those of us on the east side of the mountains get to experience 105 today and 108 tomorrow…. But at least it is dry heat.
Happy Monday!

Doesn’t matter. In western WA few people have air conditioners, so anything over 80 is uncomfortable!

Input two out of the three numbers: temperature, dew point and relative humidity and it will calculate the third.
This is correct
Honga Tonga is the gift that keeps on giving :)
Accckkk getting our watering done early here in the coast range.
Warmish in the mountains of north Idaho too 🥵
95 in SC. Hoping for rain later

Pretty hot & humid here in FL too.

Agree. SC on lake Moutrie. Forecast high 98/low 85. July is what July is. Can't wait for August!

Yesterdays 100 was a bit much.
Are you in Washington or Oregon?
Washington. Still have some family in Oregon.
