Futurecast
A significant high-pressure system will undoubtedly maintain dry and seasonable conditions in New Hampshire, providing comfortable air compared to the humid and hot summer experienced thus far. Smoke and hazy conditions will continue this week. The Canadian wildfires continue to rage and the smoke this week will continue to get into the atmosphere. Relish the upcoming week, as another heat wave is expected to arrive starting next Sunday and persist into the second week of August. The second week of August is predicted to bring above-average temperatures, with the possibility of experiencing the fifth heat wave of the summer.
