The news just said tomorrow at 11 am it will feel like mid 90's and into the 100's by afternoon.

Can we just throw away the rest of summer and get right to Fall? I'm dying!


We’ve had a mild summer, compared to past years.


Not true, as this week will put us above average, for 90+ days.

God, I can't wait for some 50-65 degree days. Can't get here soon enough.



Yuck. A nice 70 would be great


I’m with the 50-65 degree PP. Can’t wait!

Amen! The combination of heat/humidity/long days is so exhausting.

Yes! Why did it take so long for someone to say this?

I think this is part of it. I have never eaten outdoors in August in the past but we are not ready to eat indoors so it is stay home or eat outside. Every time we go out, I wish we had done takeout instead.

My favorite are the May and September days (too few of them) where the temps are in the mid 70s and the dewpoint is around 50 or below. Gorgeous! I swear we only have like 5 days all year where it's in the 70s and sunny. It's either 85+ or 60 and colder.

They’ll be here for a few weeks in November and then it’ll get cold! Autumn and Spring tend to be the shortest seasons around these parts.


Disagree. Autumn and spring are so much longer here than elsewhere. I grew up in Michigan.

That's good that you don't mind, but I would vastly prefer not to live a hermetically sealed life for so many months of the year.

WCG posted this on Facebook yesterday:

DC has reached at least 92, with a heat index as high as 100 so far today. Hot face

It's the 42nd day at or above 90, compared to an annual average of 40. Our summertime temperature to date has also cracked the top-20 warmest, since 1871.

It just feels hotter because we are all trying to do everything outside. This time of year we would be going to museums, shopping malls, movie theaters, indoor adventure parks, etc and not really think about the heat.
