Clear Skies and a Bright Moon
With the clear sky and dry weather that will continue, you will be able to enjoy the moon’s brilliance all night long. The full moon that will occur on Saturday night will be a sight to behold, and it’s a perfect opportunity to get outside and enjoy the outdoors. The full moon will be visible from dawn till dusk, providing a stunning display of lunar light. The moon’s brightness will be at its peak, making it a great time for stargazing and photography.
A Heat Wave in the Making
Syracuse’s only heat wave so far this year was from July 11th to July 13th, when the high temperatures reached 90, 91, and 90 degrees respectively. However, it appears that another heat wave is on the horizon. The heat wave is part of a larger weather pattern that will bring hot temperatures to the area. The National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory for the region, warning of the potential for temperatures to reach 90 degrees or higher.
Heat Index and Dew Point
The heat index, which takes into account both the temperature and dew point, was lower than the actual high temperature in Syracuse on Saturday. However, with dew points expected to remain relatively comfortable to slightly humid, the heat index is still expected to be close to heat advisory numbers, especially on Tuesday. The heat index is calculated by combining the temperature and dew point, and it’s an important factor in determining the perceived temperature. A heat index of 90 or higher is considered heat advisory-worthy, and it’s essential to take precautions to stay cool and safe.
Comparison to Last Year
