The "8" makes its return as the first digit in the highs

7/21/2013

That's right, with the cold front finally snapping the heat wave, we'll finally be back in the 80's for this week. AND, the dew points will drop to the mid 60's for today bringing much needed relief from the humidity. Though the dew points will climb once again tomorrow and will be back into the lower 70's come Tuesday, it will be much more manageable with the lower temperatures.

Sent to us by Wayne Norman of WILI, created by NOAA here's the list of 90° days for July for the main areas in New England:

Next Tuesday has a chance of getting back to reaching 90° again (for New England at least),which will make it very close to the top. But this is New England, what about the NY metro area? I got to looking and found these stats for New York City (also taken from NOAA's records)
NYC 90°+ July Days (average 6.1)

1993: 20
1999: 18
1944: 17
2010: 16
1966: 16
2011: 14
1983: 14
1955: 14
1952: 14
1949: 13
1988: 13
NYC 100°+ July Days:

1966: 4
1953: 4

Record: 106° on 7/9/1936

3 days in a row: 7/8/1993-7/10/1993

Last 100° day: 7/18/2012
As of 7/20/2013 we've had ten 90° degree days (one was as 89°, so close), the longest run from Sunday 7/14 to Saturday 7/20 with the highest temperature at 98° on the 18th. We could have another 5 days of 90° heat for the last 5 days in the month, so we'll keep our eye on the mercury starting next Saturday.

I'll leave you with a nice graph from Accuweather's site in regards to this month so far. Enjoy today's cooler weather everyone!
