What part of New England did you grow up in?

Because you’re describing New England- not the Mid-Atlantic/Chesapeake Bay region.

You must not have been living in this area. I remember starting school after labor day in the 90s and how extraordinarily disgusting it was for soccer practice in September. Also as a kid in the 80s.. early/mid September was HOT!

Yep. My birthday late September was always hot as a child. I bought an ice cream cake that melted within 30min

Looks like this is it. After Thursday it gets beautiful for the rest of the month.

We usually have some rebound heat this time of year, but not this hot!

We've given up on our yard, there is really no point anymore.

Hearst pool will stay open until Sept. 21, D.C. announced today.

Our pool is having an encore next weekend but not open evenings this week unfortunately.

So dry too, everything in our yard looks so crummy.

The higher numbers are the Heat Index.

No the humidity will be in the 50’s.

That does make a difference, but, oh boy.. those poor kids who live in the dorms at UMD with no a/c. My kid's dorm does have it.

I'm also worried about my daughter getting heat stroke. What are the schools going to do? I think it would be wise for them to either keep them indoors all day or cancel school like they do for snow days, now that snow is a thing of the past.
