The hottest day of 2016 thus far is in the books! Our high temperature in Rockford hit 93° on Saturday, which is good for tying the hottest temperature recorded this year not even a week ago. Heat index values -- which take into account both the temperatures and humidity -- soared into the upper 90s and lower 100s. Those values are some of the highest we have seen this year. Regarding other hot days this year, we have reached the 91° mark twice.
That occurred on both June 10th and 11th. None of these temperatures
were record highs, but they have been making this summer feel a little hotter than previous summers.
The good news is that other than possibly reaching the 90-degree mark on Sunday, there are no days in the extended forecast that feature high temperatures in the 90s. In fact, we are going to be entering a stretch of days that will be considered unseasonably cool for this time of year. High temperatures into next week will likely be stuck in the 70s for three straight days. We may even see lower 70s for highs on Tuesday!
So if you are a fan of the heat and humidity, next week may not be the best. However, if you (like me) are in need of a little break from the heat and humidity, then next week is shining with gold! It won't be the best weather to go swimming in, but it will be perfect weather to go to the park, golf, get some yard work done, or even just drive that convertible or motorcycle around town!
