Warm, mostly dry start to July
Update #660: School’s out for summer and hot weather is here to stay… mostly.
School’s out for summer and hot weather is here to stay… mostly.
After a week that brought record-breaking humidity to the Northeast, the season’s first heat wave, and the Hudson Valley’s first official 100-degree temperature reading since July 2011, weather patterns will turn more typical this coming week.
The punishingly hot air mass from this past week will soon reach Europe, sending temperatures into the 100s from Spain to Germany.
For the Hudson Valley, high heat and humidity will be in force to start the week, followed by somewhat lower humidity from Wednesday onward — especially on Friday. Another surge of 90-degree heat may arrive next weekend.
I recently published an analysis on how humidity patterns are changing in the Hudson Valley. Do you think the climate has gotten more humid over time? Find out by clicking the below link.

Patterns of extreme humidity have flooded the United States over the past week, breaking records in several northern states.
