Your Weather News @ August 2026

With heat factor, it was 107°F on my deck today. Bugga!

Back home in the desert, it's 110 degrees and climbing. I have the AC set to keep my house at 90 degrees (or lower). Yesterday, my AC came on 8 different times to keep the temp down to 90! Here in Anacortes, it's 68 degrees, which is the high for today. We experienced some drizzle this morning, but now it is just partly cloudy. There's still a slight chance of more drizzle through the night. Much happier here than I would be in the desert. Stay safe..... Jim

Here in Vermont it is currently raining. We are currently getting heavy down pours. This morning it started out quite mild and humid early this morning with temps in the upper 60's and low 70's. Dew points are up in the mid-60's to low 70's.


But a cold front this afternoon will help temp lower the dew points for the evening and tomorrow. That front will also bring more showers and thunderstorms. A few thunderstorms could be on the stronger side with gusty winds and heavy downpours. Isolated small hail is possible, but not as likely as the strong winds or heavy downpours.

The best chance for storms will be between 12:00( EST) and 4PM(EST) this afternoon with stronger or two possible in Vermont and New Hampshire. Some scattered showers will linger after 4PM(EST), mostly in the northern parts of our region but some breaks of sunshine will be possible this evening.

The clouds fully clear late this evening and overnight leaving us with plenty of sunshine by tomorrow. Temps will be a few degrees warmer in the low mid to mid 80's, kicking off a warming trend through the middle of this week.

Wednesday will still feature plenty of sunshine and temps will warm into the mid and upper 80'a. Then Thursday stays in the 80's, with a chance of reaching 90 degrees in the valleys. That's also when humid conditions return with dew points likely reaching into the mid 60's to low 70's. With the hot and humid conditions, a more unsettled weather pattern will return for the week.

The current temp is 74 degree's and cloudy.

The weather couldn't be better here in Anacortes. Currently: 63 degrees, 4 MPH sea breeze, humidity at 70%, and no clouds in sight. The high today will be 73 and the overnight low will be 56 degrees. Perfect day for some topless cruising. Stay safe..... Jim
