If you asked Google AI where the best weather in the U.S. will be, the answer will warm your heart:
You dislike humid conditions with high dewpoints (above 60F) and want to avoid very dry, parching air (dewpoints below 40F)?
Western Washington and Oregon are for you! (see plot of forecast dewpoint temperatures for 5 PM Sunday below)
Want sunny skies on Sunday? Western Washington and Oregon residents will see blue skies.
And you like some light winds, but not too strong? The wind gust forecast for tomorrow shows perfect conditions over western Washington.
Air quality? Clean air (green dots) over the Northwest (see below). You can take a deep breath!
There is so much negative information today about the environment, so it is good to acknowledge when things are spectacularly nice.
I won't get many online hits in saying this... but it is true.😋
As always, thanks for the information! I love living here.... 14 years and counting!
ReplyDeleteI love the weather now where it's cool and overcast in the morning, and nice and pleasant by afternoon, but not so much that I need to turn on the AC or drink something cool. I get a drink because I want to, not that I need to. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for emphasizing dew points instead of relative humidity… And for the positivity!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately for Seattle, there are places (mostly in coastal SoCal) that get a lot more of this kind of weather, and it comes at the welcome expense of winter.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I'm happy when I can do several bike rides in a row without having to switch equipment, and I'm even happier when I can pick and choose which window of my day I can fit a decent ride into.
I feel lucky to live here!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely perfect weather, thanks!
ReplyDeleteSeattle has the best weather in the country in July and August.
ReplyDeleteAnd... climate change projections are that we will be one of the least adversely impacted areas in the US and the winter hiking will get better and better.
ReplyDeletePay no attention to that last comment! It’s currently 124 degrees here in Seattle, with a dewpoint of 95 and a 90 percent chance of hot lava showers this afternoon. Don’t move here, you will be dead by sunset . And did I mention the man eating spiders? Hoo boy.
