Washington’s heat only grazed the heights of scorch on Saturday, but the humidity helped the day approach the state of significant summer swelter.
Washington’s official temperature failed Saturday to attain the 90 degrees that seems an unofficial standard for summer. But it was 89, and perhaps allowances might be made.By no means does such a temperature as ours on Saturday even suggest the torments afflicting parts of the country currently experiencing summer at its extremes.
But even our relatively lowly 89, one degree below the July 15 average, can create discomfort in moisture-rich air. And on Saturday, Washington’s air almost seemed humid enough for swimming. Humidity factors into the heat index, commonly said to tell how things truly feel rather than how the thermometer alone suggests they might feel. Saturday’s heat index reached 99.Humidity also factors into a figure known as the dew point. Various dew point levels have been linked to varying comfort levels. On Saturday dew points were in the 70s, at least once reaching 77.
