Anyways, for Islip, yesterday and today have been some of the muggiest September days since recordkeeping began in 1984.

Yesterday's low temperature was 75F (24C), the highest low ever in the month of September (tied with Sept 6, 1985). The mean daily dew point was 72F or so. And earlier today the dew point reached 75F (24C), the highest of the year (tied with July 20).

Glad I'm not there for now. Over here the temp is 21C with a dew point of 9C. A bit too sunny though.

No dew point even above 60°F since Saturday. Currently at 58°F. Low temps are comfortably above the dew point. The relative humidity hasn't reached 70% since September 2.

I was in Barcelona recently and one day it was exactly the same weather: 23c with rain, dp was about 21c. I had a rain jacket and it was quickly becoming muggy inside, and yet I would have gotten wet with rain without the jacket. Not great to have rain with warmish weather IMO.
Stopped raining within half an hour. It was a full-on downpour, not sure why you'd be walking around.

Looks like Tampa is the US' steambath today.

(Idk why I stopped the red bar at 13:58; I should've kept it going to 15:58.)

That station always reads suspiciously high. It's reported an 80F+ dewpoint every day so far in September.

Juts out on a peninsula.



Here's from the International Airport (TPA):

Whoops, my bad.

I should've checked data from other days out of suspicion.
