At the point in my academic career now where I just pull from a stash of figures to explain my thoughts
"Records confirm what runners, bar and restaurant owners and just about anybody who spends time outside in South Florida can sense. Miami nights are hotter than ever."

If we convert the specific humidity thresholds to dewpoint, here's a map showing the extent of summertime "mugginess", where the average dewpoint is 65°F+ (northern blue contour line). The southern blue contour line shows the region where the average summertime dewpoint is a soupy 72°F+.
I'm thrilled to share this paper that was just published today in Climatic Change on the effect of "seasonally muggy" conditions that exacerbate chronic heat and thermal discomfort in places like south Florida.

I think I have a very limited understanding of how networking on blue sky works, outside of simple follows lol—apparently there are lists or communities you can join? And if so, how do I do it?!?
