'Summer' 2011 was another crap one here. I'd take a repeat of 1983 or 1995 if we are going to suffer a bad June.

Why on earth would you want 80F dew points? That’s such nasty weather. 70F dew points are already oppressive.

Because high humidity= Rain and lush green landscapes. Low humidity= Desert and semi arid landscapes👎

I don't see them colors over my area coming true. Been 3 weeks+ and not a drop. Inland from me 30 to 60 miles is getting plenty of rain thanks to a reverse west windflow.

No, just no. My town in Southern WV is very green and lush, yet we rarely get dew points above 70F. Also, you can have high humidity without high dew points if the temperatures aren’t too hot.

The coastal south has dew points of 70F+ regularly, yet the landscape there is much drier looking than where I live. You don’t need dew points that high for a lush environment.

You also happen to be at a higher elevation, which tends to temper the high humidity and this explains why oppressive humidity levels are less common in your part of West Virginia than they are in the surrounding lower elevations in your area
