In fact, the high occurred while most of us were asleep, reaching 77 degrees at 1:24 AM.  Temperatures settled back into the 60s for much of the day. Peak midafternoon readings (when you would expect the day’s high to occur) were some 20 degrees cooler than the same time on Monday.

Pollen numbers were noticeably higher thanks to the warmer temperatures and gusty winds. Tree and grass pollen are the biggest culprits as both are currently in the high range.
