msnbc saying temperature will drop about 15 degrees during eclipse. SC site. (Original Post) riversedge Aug 2017 OP
I'm curious as to how much it will cool in hot humid areas LeftInTX Aug 2017 #1
Fine by me!! Real Feel is 97F right now Roland99 Aug 2017 #2
When the dewpoint is like 80 is it even possible to get sudden cooling of 15 degrees? LeftInTX Aug 2017 #3
10-15 degree difference in shade vs sun Roland99 Aug 2017 #5
You were right! Despite high dewpoints in the 70s and only 60% eclipse LeftInTX Aug 2017 #6

My totally subjective opinion

Still muggy but not gawd awful when the sun isn't beating down

Our temp went from 93 to 88. After the eclipse was over, it started climbing back up again and we ended up with a high of 99 at 4:30.

It was going to be a bit hot here for me to sit outside. A 15 degree drop would make it tolerable. I had planned on videoing away from the sun the open sky, to see habitat changes - my property is sort of like a mock up rain forest slash wildlife habitat. Birds, turkeys, beavers, foxes, deer...I get them all on my property, some even jumping the fence into backyard -_-
