I use Accuweather.com, hit the "month" tab, which shows the forecast for entire month, then hit F-11 to blow the pic up, then take a screenshot of it,
and here is what it says for us in NW Ala.( we get a cool down to high 80's end of month)
But my friend in the Dallas area has us semi-tropical folks beat:

(63,221 posts)I especially hate the humidity. I love cool, crisp fall weather, when it's in the 50's and 60's. I am kind of miserable if it goes above 75.
I hate to sweat. What I really can't understand is when I see people jogging or biking in 90 degree weather with 80 percent humidity. They must be completely deranged.

(3,998 posts)I feel so much more healthy and energetic in colder weather. One Fall I went up to Eugene, OR and it was in the 50s. I loved it! I hate it when it's over 80, which is almost every day of the year in SoCal now.
We've been having this freakishly high humidity, in the 50% and over range. I can't walk down the block without water and a bandana to wipe the sweat. So gross!!

(54,405 posts)Next week, I'll be indoors almost all week, and the week after that it's head office and medical stuff in Texas, then 3 days with my brother in northern Virginia, and then over to Vancouver and up to Alaska.
Nothing special, really........

(37,457 posts)Last time I checked, 24 hour forecasts were only up to maybe 70% reliability or so ? So, the weather might be better (yay!) or worse (boo!). Hopefully for you, BETTER!

(31,392 posts)and our prediction for most of August is 80's with only a few days in the 90's.
I'll be happy if the predictions turn out to be true.

We actually HAD a spring, something I've not seen last more than two weeks here in prior years. I spent the entire month of May from 11am to 8 pm planting gardens, and loving it. We've had a fantastic pattern of rainfall, meaning I've watered little and not yet lost even my zucchini from what our 'typical' rain pattern is (which I've only seen maybe 3 times this summer): where it either doesn't rain, or else it's rain like we are in a hurricane and floods everything (and a lot of house basements too). Not this year. Just perfect.
The humidity began being tolerable for most all of the summer, and now, it's just downright amazing. Clear beautiful skies, and the humidity in the 40s or even 30s. I even got to take my grandchildren to DC to the Smithsonian and enjoy 35% humidity mid-afternoon. I grew up in DC and days like that are miracles. Same forecast for today down there. Hot, yes, but without the humidity, DC is simply beautiful.
Time to get off this machine and get outside again!
