Ouch! Did you feel the incredibly intense humidity on Sunday? Not only was it the hottest day in four years at the Minneapolis and St. Paul Airport, but we had late night dew points of 81 degrees there, as well.
That was only one degree away from the all-time record dew point at MSP but that’s not as impressive as the other statistic. Prior to Monday morning, MSP had only recorded 28 total hours with a dew point over 80 degrees. On Monday alone, we were in that range for six straight hours.

If you’re hoping for relief in the humidity, you’re very much in luck. A weak frontal passage Monday afternoon does not bring us rain but it does drop dew points by 15 degrees to 23 degrees by the time you head home from work. Don’t get us wrong; it will still be hot, with air temperatures around 90 degrees but we will just will not be as swampy.
