Screw you, August.
The month notorious for bringing the worst weather to the desert is already doing its thing with the forecast calling for it to be hot, humid, and just, well, ugh.
Here are the temps:
Palm Springs 3-Day Forecast!
Mostly sunny, hot and very humid today with Coachella Valley high temperatures which will stay below 110-degrees for the first time in a week. Thursday and Friday look like the best shot for SoCal showers and t-storms.@KESQ pic.twitter.com/0DdTBt8Vmt— Jerry Steffen™ KESQ (@JerrySteffen) August 8, 2018
As for the humidity, well:
All the cities with Palm in the name (Palm Springs, Thousand Palms, and Palm Desert) had 79F dew points at 4 AM. Special shout out to a second station in Palm Desert that just hit 80F! ????

And just to make things interesting, the weather gods have given the Coachella Valley more low clouds Wednesday morning than the beaches, which is a super rare and odd.
Here's something different for ya. There are more low clouds in the Coachella Valley this AM than at the beaches! The mint green colors on the sat image represent low clouds, while dark red is high clouds. #cawx #gulfsurge pic.twitter.com/qeHCI5LGj8

There is also the possibility for some precipitation, with the best shot in the mountain areas – though a few drops have fallen in Palm Springs are already on Wednesday morning.

And while we can use every bit of rain we can get, this time of year can brining anything from a couple of drops to insane flooding in just a couple of minutes, so be careful out there and try to stay cool.
