In the next two weeks, extreme moisture levels are expected to be affected by about 40 states of America, with the first wave of very liquid weather growing in central and eastern states by Thursday. Throughout the country, about 170 million people will also experience temperatures above 32 ° C.

Excessively high humidity has contributed to the deadly waterproofs in West Virginia last weekend and will feed the intense storms that are expected to hit the plains and the Midwestern states until Wednesday, before reaching the east.

High humidity and high temperatures this week are due to temperatures above the average oceans and south winds blowing from these areas. And there are others to come. A second, stronger wave, potentially dangerous heat and humidity is expected this weekend until next week, as a thermal dome is likely to form.

The rise in temperature in the Gulf of Mexico and the western Atlantic is expected to supply one summer with a humidity higher than average in eastern states, including the capital of the country.

Summer humidity tends to increase in most of the United States, but the most trendy month varies by region.

Parts of Florida, including near Tampa, showed record levels of record during May, supplying a heat wave. The trend was shifted to Texas during June.

Where and when will the moisture culminate

The Washington Post analyzes the eight cities that will experience very high or extreme moisture levels.

Washington

Maximum level of humidity: extreme

Moisture will become very high on Tuesday afternoon before approaching extremes on Thursday, when strong thunderstorms are likely. Moisture will slightly decrease on Friday, but will increase quickly to very high or extreme levels during the weekend and next week, when a prolonged period of excessive heat arrives.

Philadelphia

Maximum level of humidity: extreme

High humidity on Tuesday will become very high on Wednesday and Thursday, coinciding with strong to strong thunderstorms. After a short break on Friday, heat and humidity will escalate during the weekend, reaching very high to extreme levels early next week.

New York

Maximum level of humidity: extreme

A very high humidity is expected on Wednesday and Thursday, which will be reduced on Friday and will return late at the weekend. Very high to extreme moisture and excessive heat is expected from Sunday to next week.

Cleveland

Maximum moisture level: very high

The high to very high humidity will last until the beginning of Thursday, when rains and thunderstorms will temporarily remove it. The weekend will come with the arrival of very high humidity and excessive heat, which is projected to last until next week.

Chicago

Maximum moisture level: very high

High humidity will grow on Tuesday, which will become very high on Wednesday, when potentially strong to severe thunderstorms are possible. After a short break on Thursday, moisture levels will increase from Friday to next week, as a period of dangerous heat comes.

Minneapolis

Maximum moisture level: excessive

Moderate to high humidity will increase to very high levels on Friday, before extreme humidity and heat reaches the weekend. Frequent rains and thunderstorms at the beginning of next week will enhance the tropical feeling.

St. Louis

Maximum level of humidity: extreme

High to extreme moisture levels do not show signs of recession until next week. This will feed strong to strong thunderstorms on Wednesday. A period of excessive heat is projected to arrive on Saturday.

Houston

Maximum moisture level: excessive

While extreme humidity is a common occurrence along the coast of the vagina during June, its relentless nature this month could break a record.

How much heat will he do

About 170 million people in 45 states are projected to experience temperatures over 90 degrees in next week.

On Wednesday and Thursday, the risk of heat -related effects is projected to reach a high level (level 3 of 4 on the Noaa scale) in the southeast and the Atlantic, especially for people who do not have access to cooling or hydration.

Sections of southwestern areas will also have a high risk of experiencing heat -related impacts from Tuesday to Thursday, before the risk moves to the plains and interfaces from Friday to weekend – where it can reach extreme levels.

The highest level of heat, which can reach sections of Midwesters on Sunday and Midwestern, Mesatlantic, Northeast and Southeast Monday, is the highest of the four levels of NOAA, described as “rare and/or long -term” Infrastructure.

Summer humidity

For most of the United States, July is the wetter month of the year on average. This is not surprising, because July is also the warmest month – and the warmer air can contain more water vapor.

There are some exceptions, such as Florida, where August is the wetter month, related to the seasonal peak of ocean temperatures, and parts of the West, where monsoons increase moisture in August.

In the last 40 years, September has been the summer with the highest trend for higher humidity in much of the United States. This is probably linked to the warm period that becomes longer and more intense due to climate change, rising ocean temperature and other climate volatility patterns.

In parts of the northeast states, such as Philadelphia, New York and Boston, July is the month with the highest voltage of moisture – which means that the most trend is the most wetter, which can lead to more extreme moisture values.

The same can be said about parts of the southeast states and Florida, where August is both the wetter month and the highest moisture tendencies.

As the moisture season arrives, it is unlikely that there will be significant relief in central and eastern states in the coming weeks.
