rain seems to be fizzling out as it approaches the beltway - of course.

temp is in the upper 50s with light rain in Mexico City for Mexico - England - might be advantage to the English lol

dews back in the upper 70s - DCA briefly again hit a heat index of 110F (95/77) at 4:25pm. So now five straight days of this lol.

current conditions at DCA - Rain, Smoke

some popcorn showers/storms just popped up and headed right towards downtown DC.

this is a thread about the current heat and storms impacting the DMV. Are you lost?

lmao this dude just comes in here - and completely unprompted - starts an argument about climate change.

inside the beltway has been heavily urbanized since the mid 20th Century - so, not really sure UHI explains it (particularly the immediate area around DCA). Maybe if you're looking at a graph of IAD or something, sure. But the location around DCA has been built up for a long, long time. That's like saying UHI explains recent changes in Central Park.

see if you can spot the trend!!!

just wait until DC records the worst air quality ever recorded here in about 2 hours.

lightning in our vicinity - maybe there is some interaction with the remaining hot air over the city lol

DCA had a high of 103.

There very likely is not a United States without the French, and there likely is not the French republic without us.

Fitting that France wins on July 4th - our oldest ally, and definitely an important part of our victory over the British. Plus - while most of the philosophical ideas of the founders (let's call it enlightenment-era liberalism) come from English tradition, plenty also come from the French (Montesquieu etc). And of course, a ton of what is now the US used to be part of France!

only 2nd time ever (last time in 1930) that DC has had three straight days of 102.
