Central Florida to Experience First Fall-Like Humidity This Weekend After Record-Breaking Heat
after 116 consecutive days with temperatures remaining above 70 degrees – placing Central Florida among the top ten longest such stretches on record – a cold front is poised to bring a noticeable shift in humidity levels beginning Friday. Residents haven’t seen temperatures in the 60s since May 16th, but relief is on the horizon.The approaching front will initially bring increased rain chances, notably south of Orlando, during the day on Friday. More significantly, the drier air following the front will usher in a weekend of more agreeable conditions, despite high temperatures still expected to reach the upper 80s. Dew point temperatures are forecast to drop into the 60s by Saturday evening, indicating a significant decrease in atmospheric moisture.
this change, while welcome, is expected to be temporary. Humidity levels will begin to rise again early next week, returning the region to its typical subtropical climate. Historically, the major season-changing fronts don’t typically arrive until later in October, making this weekend’s break a relatively early preview of fall-like weather.
