Everyone freaks out over a warm day. I shutter to think what happens down here when it really hits the fan.

I think mid 100s are kind of the highest temps we would ever see around here i.e. 105 or 106. I don't think temps above that would be possible here, especially above 110.

74-75 max and probably lower..

So the 77 dew at KMTN is incorrect because of reason A or B?

I thought the dews were genuinely higher because of the proximity of the bay.

Now I'm confuzzled... Please unconfuzzle me. :)

That is the exception. The air over the bay definitely does have higher dew points (79-84) with water temps now in the lower 80's with 100% humidity at nights and not much lower during the day. What we were talking about before was more inland areas. The original post I made touched on this fact when an easterly river breeze jumped my dew points and thus my heat indices.

See the CIBIBS bay buoy site for bay weather info, though I find it rather silly that they give air Temp/RH/Pressure but not DP.

 

edit: The dew point at Thomas Point lighthouse (10 mi SE of Annapolis) is 85°F

DCA was 85 at 8 pm yesterday; at 8 pm tonight it's still 92 -- tomorrow is going to be ugly!

 

Sure it was a hot day, but the sky was clear, not hazy and the humidity was moderate.  I think it gets bad starting tomorrow.  My son's day camp is going to a Frederick Keys baseball game on Thursday. :o

They coming up for Water Day? We went to one last year with similar temps. No amount of water thrown on you helped. Luckily they were giving out free water in cups.
