90 and not too humid

Posted: 18 Jun 2013 05:31 AM

Skies were mostly clear on Monday allowing mid June sunshine to nicely warm us into the 80s and even 90s. Humidity levels were very comfortable with afternoon dew points in the 50s. Des Moines reported a 90 degree temperature along with a dew point in the lower 50s. The featured chart presents the frequency of a given afternoon temperature having a sub 55 degree dew point in the top chart and the daily frequency of such dew points overall. The 90 degree temperatures comes with about 10% probably, so our weather yesterday was certainly not the norm. The humidity is scheduled to return later in the week with heat indices near 100 degrees.

Voting:
Good = 65
