Seven 90 degree days and counting for Greater Cleveland this year. And its not even mid-July!

Cleveland's 90 Degree Days of 2016 (so far):
90: May 28
94: June 11
93: June 20
91: June 26
92: June 27
90: July 6
91: July 7

And...we could reach double digits for 90 degree days by the end of the week with a little luck! Here are the potential highs for Tuesday, June 12 (via GFS Model):

The heat hangs around for Wednesday as well. See all the 90s again below:

And, with a little luck, Thursday may bring our number of 90 degree days up to 10 if the clouds and rain hold off until late afternoon:

But, we don't stop there. Computer forecasts are suggesting more heat and humidity for the rest of July with at least 2 or 3 more 90 degree days by months end.

Our forecast for Summer, way back in March called for an end to El Nino and, as a result, a summer filled with heat and humidity. Plus, we also expect dryer than average conditions into September. So, get used to sultry & sizzling. We've got more to come! Just wait until August!!!
