Good evening from Southern Connecticut Weather!
First, happy last day of July! After a mostly ho-hum summer, July turned into a very interesting month, with a transition from cooler than normal conditions to one of the warmest in our history—at least in the Hartford area.
The City of Hartford reached 100 degrees. The City also had 9 straight days of 90+ temperatures. Bradley Airport reached 90+ for ten straight days—the longest heat wave in 21 years. This was truly a hot month, and although July didn’t quite crack the top 5 hottest months in terms of average temperature, the Hartford area did finish the month with the most 90 degree July days with 17.
Now, we have been granted a reprieve. Rain! Much of the state has received much needed precipitation. That will continue tomorrow with more rain chances.
Monday/Tuesday
Tomorrow brings the best chance of rain for the week as low pressure transverses the region. I don’t quite expect an all day heavy rain, but it is certainly an umbrella day. This unsettled period will last into early Tuesday, but things will clear out and we’ll break into nice weather!

Wednesday-Friday
This part of the week looks sunny and nice, as high pressure dominates the region. I expect temperatures to slowly warm up again, but remain near normal. Unfortunately, with southwest flow, the humidity will remain.

Surface high pressure dominates through the end of the week, bringing warmer temperatures and sunnier conditions.
