actually, a heat index of 100F at 10am isn't so bad!

maybe it's just that we are acclimating lol

86/75 here - another day in Miami, District of Columbia.

I wonder if the Caps will be charged up for Ovi's last year.

91/77 at DCA. Good lord.

water temps around 90F off the coast of Spain is completely crazy

91/75 here - 88/77 at DCA. If it's gonna be tropical, we should at least start planting some palm trees or something.

83/78 at DCA. brutal.

feels like we are getting an inordinate number of days so far with dews of 75F-80F. Not comfortable at all out.

Martinez and Rizzo out for the Nats. Won't change much unless the ownership changes.

pretty much a run-of-the-mill summer day 'round these parts.

98F on a fairly leafy street in Tenleytown.

probably 99F (with 4 straight 5-min obs of 98.6F / 37C). We'll see!

The midnight HI at DCA is 98F lol.

Pretty brutal midnight temps: BOS: 80/75 NYC: 86/74 EWR: 86/75 PHL: 86/75 DCA: 88/75

Just because there are some incredible aspects to this country (which are currently being destroyed), that doesn't mean there aren't legitimate criticisms either. I've actually lived abroad - yes, the US is a unique, incredible place. But it has plenty of flaws, and it isn't immune from the type of self-destruction that has afflicted other great powers in our past. So don't fucking tell someone to pack up and leave just because they have some criticism or negative opinion about what is going on. It's my goddamn right to say whatever I want about how the country is faring.

given that it's already pretty badly understaffed? yeah.

you actually haven't stated what you think about all this. Do you think it's a good idea to hobble NOAA and NWS with indiscriminate firings? Or are you just going to be a coward and lob attacks at other posters?

you told me to leave the country for expressing a negative view on its current health - maybe seek help yourself.

I'm doing just fine - the country is not.

as should climate, and myriad other related topics that some snowflakes on here crumble at their mere mention by screaming "politics!!". Honestly - this is a weather and science board. If talking about weather and science is too much for your precious ears, leave.

dumbest fucking shit - why would you dismantle the very things that make the country exceptional.

Looks like Zach Labe was fired (if anyone follows his great stuff on the Arctic/Antarctic, among other things).

Go pound sand dude. Hope you are enjoying the scientific and research supremacy that the US has enjoyed for a century getting ripped to shreds.

Mass layoffs at NOAA and NWS: https://www.axios.com/2025/02/27/layoffs-hit-noaa-national-weather-service Hope folks are happy.
