This is the third day in a row that the temperature has been above 90°F. By definition, any three-day period where the temperature is above 90 °F is classified as a heat wave. It does not appear that this heat is going to dissipate before Tuesday. We were coming back from Waterville this afternoon, and from the top of Mile Hill in New Sharon, it was not possible to see Mount Blue because of the haze. The dew point is above 70°F, which means that tonight will be even more uncomfortable for sleeping than last night. Oh well, we are having a summer for a change.
The Weather Stick points just slightly up, indicating unsettled weather and maybe just a little drier than it has been. The Min/Max Thermometer calls for improving conditions with a mix of sun and clouds. The Weather Station Console still forecasts deteriorating conditions with rain in its forecast. The remote weather station calls for rain. That agrees with the cirrostratus clouds that are now covering the sky. A bit of rain would be nice, since it might drain some of the humidity out of the atmosphere, and make it a bit more comfortable.
