I like that "hovering", meanwhile would be a big range here for 24hrs. lol

Day #2 in a row? We might make it 3 tomorrow hitting 70+. I still can't believe we went 31 days in a row that year. Brutal. Everything is so sticky! My envelopes are sealing.


Overcast and trees still dripping. Looks & feels tropical with these dews but temp only 73°F so doesn't technically feel Tropical. Everything so lush and green


11am Dews.

The dewpoint dropped to 8c today with a high of 25c, an extremely comfortable day.

A heatwave is starting on Tuesday though, with highs around 30-35c and lows around 20c, and dewpoints mostly around 18-20c. I don't know if it's just me, but it seems like the dewpoints have been quite above average for the past few years or so.

Is that 80 F/27 C dewpoint in Delaware accurate?

That is nuts! Just goes to show how humid it can get even far north.

70 degree dewpoints extending into Canada.

Well above normal though. Probably near extreme for June.


Average Max Dews for June

Check out Dewpoint history for Northern Maine (Caribou)


Black line is the normal. Red is extreme max for the day.


Looks like they've hit 70 in June but as an extreme. 75 is the all time max for them.

I'm curious what the pattern is like now that we got 70+ dews here. Usually a Bermuda High does it. Lets take a look at 5 maps!


1st, Current dewpoints. 12pmEST





2nd: Upper Level Pattern and winds. I left surface dews on as shaded.


So the Jet Stream is hovering in the Northeast and its humid on both sides of it, more so south of it of course.







3rd: Mid Level Pattern and winds.


Looks like a Mid level low over the Great Lakes spinning around. And almost looks like a Bermuda High, maybe too far East but the winds at the mid levels are pushing Atlantic air into Mid Atlantic states and also flow from the Gulf. Double Trouble.





4th. Surface Pressure and winds.

Yup, storm over the Great Lakes and we are getting winds off the Ocean here at the surface.
