For instance, the sub 60° summer dew hours are fairly consistent whereas you would probably expect a drop off with >60° climbing. So I think the thing to take from these charts is a slow climb in dews with time and an increase in data points (more hourly obs).
I will say there is probably more of a bias toward more hours in the ASOS era since obs are more reliable (automated) versus being sent out by human observers. There were frequent missed obs at hourly sites pre-automation. There was a period there between the 50s-70s where many sites only reported every 3 hours too…although those may be the groups of years “blued” out for too many missed obs.
What is this nonsense? I don’t mind certain weeds, but this crap is taking over a section and is thick and wiping out all of the grass and clover in that area.
75/69 here…not too bad out right now with overcast skies. I’ve only been 90+ 1 or 2x this year. People lived without AC for thousands of years. We can get by too.
Maybe…goes hand in hand with dews though. Except it’s a deeper humid airmass versus the shallow pooling types that mix out a bit in the afternoon and then muggy back up in the evening.
Yeah they're actually mixed out. Looks like a bit of an inversion mid mountain though? 77F at 4300ft, 72F at 3300ft, and 74F at 2300ft. Unless there's shadows being cast on the lower els of the autoroad.
