Hot!

lol Tumbleweed, too funny! Sounds like how the weather likes to be over here where I live in Canada BC but, right in this particular spot is really different compared to everywhere else, it doesn't like to do much of anything, weather wise any ways.

It can rain here but, five blocks away it can be snowing too. lol ((O.o))
My parents used to bug me that they got snow while it was raining here all season long and they only lived five minutes away from me. lol

Needless to say, when there's a storm in this area which is very short lived and rarely happens often, we all pretty much welcome it and enjoy here. lol 

Here's my weather for the day here: ----->

A horrible 24c here and a feel like a fried Kipper here in this flat even with the windows open.

Normally it isn't like that (I live in Omaha) but the last couple years, we seem to miss all the storms. We didn't even have a winter as far as I'm concerned and winter is my absolute most favorite season of the year. Where I live in the city, we miss all the tornadoes, for which I am grateful. I live overlooking the Missouri and for some reason tornadoes seem to turn or fizzle out when approaching the river.

But my sis lives in Idaho in a valley and they have a temperate climate all year round but all around them, there is the 4 season, for sure. That sounds a lot like the area you live in, Linette. (Actually thinking of moving there (if not there then it will be Colorado) as I'd have mountains (I love the mountains) nearby for my snow and not too far to the coast for the beach.)

By the way, I went to take garbage out today as the garbage men went yesterday so they were still sitting out and there was at about 4 inches of rain in them, just in that short half hour.

Tomorrow's forecast says it will be hot (81 degrees) but the humidity is dropping a lot to 49% 59%. Thank goodness.

Tumbleweed , it's been so oppressive here because of the humidity.

We've been in an air-quality alert all week. And the dew point has been in the "oppressive" category.

Today it reached an ugly 72%.

Sunday it will be 77% = Miserable/Insufferable and will continue like that until Tuesday.




It's like walking out and someone throwing a blanket over your head!

The average humidity level for Omaha is 69 but summer is always much much higher. Using the Dew Point Calculator and the forecasted temperature and humidity for tomorrow (made a boo boo in my prev. post as humidity wil be 59%), the Dew Point will be in the "Comfortable" category according to your chart, so SO MUCH better than yesterday. Yesterday the Dew Point was 72 so "Oppressive".

Our temperatures are going to be hitting the upper 80's and lower 90's in the next few days and humidity will be in the 60's so definitely oppressive just like you are having. And this is why I hate summer.

Looks like it's going to be another warm day, 17c at the moment and will rise to 22c later on, yuk.

Tumbleweed , prior to the last few years, it was all about the humidity index. That's all the weather reports focused on in the hot weather.

Now, it's all about dewpoint and why it affects our temperature and air quality more than the relative humidity.

www.weatherworksinc.com/humidity-vs-dewpoint

Dewpoint is the temperature at which water vapor in the air condenses into liquid water, such as in the form of dew, fog, or possibly rain. The dewpoint is always lower or equal to the air temperature, hence why dew or fog often occurs during the early morning hours, when the air temperatures are typically lowest and the dewpoint highest.

On the other hand, the relative humidity is the ratio between the current amount of water vapor in the air at a given temperature to the maximum amount of water vapor possible in the air at that temperature. The relative humidity is not an exact ratio between the current air temperature and dewpoint!

For example, a 95°F day may only have a relative humidity of 45%, but it still feels incredibly hot and humid. Instead of checking the humidity on such days, one should focus on the dewpoint and the resulting heat index to determine how sticky it will feel outside. The heat index utilizes temperature and dewpoint (or relative humidity) to determine how hot the body perceives the environment. Because the body cools down through the evaporation of sweat, moist air will not allow evaporation as readily as dry air. So, in turn, the body will feel hotter on days with higher dewpoint values. In general, a dewpoint of 60 - 63°F begins to “feel” more humid, and a dewpoint of 70°F or higher becomes rather oppressive on a summer day.

All I know is it's sticky out there and it makes the temps feel hotter than they are. Sunday will have a temp of 93 with a "real fee" of 104. I prefer temps from the mid fifties to the mid seventies! And that's a very short season here. We go from one extreme to the other.

Heading in for some really gross weather, I'm not one for humidity either which is one of the reasons I have not been liking the summer season out here for the past few years or so, it's just really gross weather.

Cloudy morning here, 12c but a lot cooler and will stay like that, I hope.

I'm so not into humid weather at all.

its suppose to rain although it doesnt look like it outside

[Former Member]

Thankfully much cooler today!

[Caajscot (John)]

Very muggy here at 18c, I think there is some rain due and I honestly hope so to cool the weather down more.
