Blue skiy, white clouds, bright sun and low humidity join for late-June delight
That’s unusual in Washington seven days past the solstice and just three days from torrid July.
It was seven below average for the date, and only 10 above the record low for June 28 reached in Washington 95 years ago. Many might call 64 near ideal for sleeping. Especially in summer. So if we failed to seize the magic moment, we understand.Our high afternoon temperature reached 82 degrees, seven below average and 18 below the record for the date. Humidity, that unwanted summer visitor, happily seemed a no-show.
Tuesday spelled out summer’s meteorological equation: low temperatures plus low humidity equal high comfort. In sunshine, under bright blue skies and streaks of white cloud, we might have puzzled over our atmospheric good fortune.
