I meant to post this earlier but I got sidetracked, anyways the absolute strangest thing happened Friday night in Phoenix. I was working that evening and work often has me outdoors. It was of course hot that day but dry so once the sun went down it actually was quite tolerable outside.
But then somewhere between 10 and 11 pm it happened. It got hotter, or so it felt. At 10 I wasn't sweating at all, but by 11 I was drenched. Weird as hell. Finally got off work at 11:30 and checked the weather, the temp had actually stayed the same (hovering in the low 90s the past few hours) so I was baffled, maybe it was me?!? I knew better though and checked the dewpoint and VIOLA, found my culprit. The damn dewpoint literally rose 20 degrees (from mid 40s to mid 60s) in a span of 2 hours. Made all the difference in the world.
Apparently some moisture from either the gulf or Pacific just up and crept it's way over southern and central AZ (which itself isn't that strange, we do have monsoons this time of year) but didn't really bring any clouds or rain with it, just sticky ass humidity. Yuck.
