The dew points have certainly climbed out of the basement. At 55.9°F, it feels like a night in late July rather than late May. Today the weather was nothing but unsettled. We had no rain or showers here, but we went from clouds and overcast to sun to clear to partly cloudy to overcast and back to clear. This morning was comfortable, but as the day wore on it became much more humid. Right now (near midnight) it is quite humid as the dew point indicates. The closer the dew point is to the current temperature the more humid it is, and right now only about six degrees separate the current temperature and the dew point.
The weather indicators and instruments are another matter. The weather stick is straight, so it does not know what it is going to do, and it is predicting unsettled weather. The wither station console and Min/Max Thermometer are predicting deteriorating conditions and rain. The remote weather station is predicting a mix of sun and clouds, so again unsettled weather. Unsettled seems to be the order of the day, and that is what I will go with as well
