Miserable humidity is back. 81/72 at IAD.
The past few days with pleasant dewpoints I wasn't bitten by a single mosquito, now with the nastiness back I'm just getting eaten up by them. Does humidity really make a difference in skeeter activity?
2019 was at least dry until mid-October, which helped lower the humidity. September 2018 had multiple days of monsoon rains, amounting to almost 10 inches, and only 14 days with no precip.
The past couple of days, the dewpoints have been falling to the mid-60s at night and rising to 70 during the day, the reverse of the normal pattern.
Getting tired of seeing 70 DPs every single day.
NWS screwed the pooch yesterday morning by putting zero pops for Fairfax County in the 4 a.m. forecast.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who trusted them and left my umbrella home!
It wasn't supposed to rain today, so I left my umbrella at home. Of course it started raining the minute the bus reached the Vienna station.
Nice work, NWS. Bravo.
