THE WEEK

Highs holding in the 90s through the week

What is the seven-day forecast for Columbus, Georgia?

Highs holding in the 90s through the week — highs 83° to 90° over the next five days.

Afternoons run between 83 and 90 degrees over the next five days. Nothing in the seven-day is asking for a change of plan. Forecast from the National Weather Service.

Why it is doing this

A seven-day is a pattern, not seven forecasts. What is worth knowing is what is steering the pattern.

Behind the day to day, a strong El Niño is in place — the Pacific index sits at +1.80. It does not decide any single afternoon, but it tilts the odds for the season.

The barometer has hardly moved in six hours — up 0.4 millibars — which is why nothing much is changing.

The dew point is 69, the sticky end of comfortable. It is also the floor the overnight low works against: the air will not usually fall much below it.
