Best window 21:00 – 23:00

Why we say this
The atmosphere is holding 2,700 J/kg of convective energy — the fuel storms run on. Above 1,000 there is a risk; above 2,500 it is high. It measures potential, not rain, which is why a storm can arrive on a day forecast for none. - Feels like 98° around 12:00.
Why we say this
Apparent temperature combines heat and humidity. Above 95°, shade and water matter more than the tide does.
