The beginning of your weekend can get hot and humid based on the report by WUSA9. The forecast included scattered rain showers throughout the day. Downpours will be experienced throughout the week. Therefore, bringing an umbrella will be the best for the fickle weather pattern.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) — You’ll feel a slight increase in the humidity tonight, and some clouds will build as we head toward Monday morning. The heat and humidity continue to build during the day on Monday, and an approaching cold front could trigger isolated showers and storms. Most of the day is dry, though, so don’t cancel your outdoor plans. On Tuesday, the threat for storms increases a bit, but Wednesday and Thursday look like the wettest days of the week.

The hot summer added by high humidity level, can cause discomfort to people. We feel more tired and weak. The growth of bacteria and dust mites could trigger allergies. It also prompts the growth of molds and mildews that can damage properties.

Homeowners can increase their use of air conditioners and dehumidifiers to remove the humidity at home. This is the first measure we must take so that our body can cool down and avoid heat-related illnesses. Also consider that the heat level factor of humidity can also be increased because of your roofing in Washington DC.
