From the NewsXR Weather Center: Monday brings a mostly sunny and comfortable start to the week across Binghamton and the Southern Tier, with a high near 78 and lower humidity through the day. Wildfire smoke remains a concern, and the local AQI is still in the unhealthy-for-sensitive-groups range, so children, older adults and anyone with asthma, COPD or heart/lung conditions should limit prolonged outdoor activity when haze is present.
Storm chances return Tuesday as warmer, more humid air moves back into the region, with scattered showers, thunderstorms and heavy downpours possible before quieter weather returns later in the week.
Today’s Weather 100 Years Ago Today feature looks back to July 20, 1926, when Binghamton was hot and humid with scattered thunderstorms. The afternoon high reached 89 degrees, the overnight low was 65, and 0.09 inches of rain was recorded. Compared with today’s forecast high near 78, Broome County was dealing with a much hotter July day exactly a century ago.
