I just want humidity.. a chance of storms and not to have to wear a jacket at night outside in summer.. so if you guys got the 94/44 stuff .. great. I want 81/74 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Nice soaking moderate rain right now. Good stuff. 63° As for the summer wx debate, I’m fine with this after like 6 weeks of dryness. But days like this in 2009 I was ready to pull my hair out. Phin will find out just how long our cold season can really be. Those raw, dark days can start in late September up there and carry right on through until May. It’s another world from MD. For most of us who have lived up here for awhile, when we get to warm season we tend to cherish the nice days we get because we know how quickly the jackets will be returning. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would winter where you are and summer in coastal SC. Best of both worlds. Cold snowy winter . And HHH summer with storms and legit cane chances . That’s my plan.

ORH_wxman Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 I’ll never embrace high dews from a comfort standpoint. The only reason I’d want them is if we have a legit severe wx setup. I don’t understand what high dews accomplish for outdoor activities that a day like 84/53 does not. Maybe if I’m spending all day at a pool party or waterpark I could make an exception.

I’m with ya all the way on high dews.... unless your goal is just to go from air conditioned place to air conditioned place. There’s no way the folks that say they love that stuff are opening their windows and doors to enjoy it like one does when it’s Chamber weather. I get Kev’s reason though for warm evenings, dews definitely help in the overnight if you like sleeping in a hot bedroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 What’s high dews? I think my prime spot is 60-65°. Anything 70°+ is pretty much useless and uncomfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am good with our maybe 20 days a year with heat indexes above 90. Warm sun, low dews mid 80s. Everyone loves those days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything over 65F probably works for the “high” range up here given climatology. I personally prefer 50s all summer, but I also have a high diurnal range fetish so if I could do 50F min, 90F max with low humidity all summer I would.

STILL N OF PIKE Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 I can do high dews and hot temps with a strong breeze . That is the key for me Try 93/75 w a 25mph breeze and then with a calm wind nite and day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
