Summer Friday Atmospheric Conditions
Air Temp: 86°F
Relative Humidity: 68%
Wind Velocity: 7 mph
Why Summer Fridays Add Carry: Warmer air molecules disperse, reducing atmospheric density by ~1% for every 10°F rise. Water vapor (H₂O, mol wt 18) is also lighter than dry nitrogen/oxygen (mol wt 29), further reducing drag. At 86°F and 68% RH, aerodynamic drag drops by 5.8%, pushing deep drives an extra 6 to 8 feet beyond outfield fences.
