i was in NYC at the time but 2010-2012 were just absolutely horrendous. NYC when it's 104-105F is about the worst thing ever (especially at night when it's still in the 90s once you get out of Central Park).

Last 30 days at DCA have been: High: 94.7 Low: 75.2 Avg: 85 (84.98)

Perhaps? especially given the moderating conditions of the river (on both sides), unless the river was frozen I guess. It just seems it is very hard for DCA to hit 100F given the prevalent south wind in the summer, vs the more W to NW flow in the winter (which would probably lessen the effects of the river). Either way, streaks of sub 20 highs or 100+ highs are not terribly common at that location.

First time DC has had 101F+ four days in a row

yeah pretty weak sauce - but we did have the most intense 4-day heat wave in DC history, so there's that.

at least the yellows are over us - chevy chase doesn't seem to be getting as much

DCA hit 101F per the climate report - new record of 4 straight days of 101+

lol don't think these are gonna die over the mountains.

DCA has had several streaks of 100.4 (38C) - and it's had it for the last two 5 min obs - so we'll see if rounding gives us 101F.

lol i mean the river is HOT. The buoy in the Washington Channel (between East Potomac Park and the Wharf) is around 87F.

we were getting up to 102/103 on a river wind yesterday lol

95F at 11am for DCA, although we've already hit 96.

87F at 1am, so we are 104/80 on the day. A record-tying 7th 80+F low in the books.

i mean i'm thinking we could start planting some palms around here - this winter we only had 31 days of 32F or below, meanwhile we've already had 17 days with lows of 75F or greater (and 7 80F+ lows)

89F at midnight.
