[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not that bad. The mild June spoiled us. 97 degrees with 97% humidity in DC is just called Summer. We’ve had years when there were months of this. [/quote]

We have not had MONTHS of heat index of 111 which is what we are expecting stop lying.  :roll: [/quote]

Were you around for 2012? It was like this for a month. 
2019? It was consistently over 90 degrees from June to October. [/quote]

Exactly. This nothing new. - Native Washingtonian [/quote]

It's not exactly "nothing new" -- D.C.'s "normal" summer temperatures are higher now than they used to be, and it's "normal" to be at or above 89 degrees for much longer now than it used to be: https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2021/05/05/washington-dc-new-climate-normals/

Also a native Washingtonian, fwiw. Definitely it's been hot before, of course. (Although it hasn't been over 100 in a while.) But the fact is that it's hotter for more days in the summer now than before, and that trend is only expected to continue.[/quote]

Ehhh. We haven't yet had 100+ degrees days this summer. It's been a pretty mild summer temperature wise. It's the humidity that is high this summer. Last two summers were much drier with fewer humid spells. But summer 2020 was more like this summer, which I remember because it was the covid summer. People have VERY short term memories when it comes to the weather. [/quote]
