Your RI Weather Today – Aug. 26, 2021 – John Donnelly

More of the same, hot, humid and hazy sunshine with near oppressive humidity as afternoon highs crack the 90’s from morning lows in the low 70’s. A light southwesterly breeze won’t provide much relief, but at least it’s something.

This stretch could be the last panting of the dog days of summer ‘21, as temps back off a bit due to the natural thinning of the late summer atmosphere with lower sun angle.
