DCA at 95/74 on the latest 5min ob (assuming the 74F dew from the noon ob is what it's still at - it shows up as 73.4 on the 5 min obs thanks to our aforementioned rounding/conversion issues).
yeah I think that was one of the big issues with a story last month from ATL where all their pools were closing but a couple in the first week of Aug - no lifeguards because the kids were all back in school. Which begs the question, why are schools in the SE starting school in early August?
lol still the dumbest thing that the temp is recorded in F and converted to C (presumably to align with the international standard for a METAR?) and then rounded and then converted back to F.
DC DPR is keeping two pools open through Sept 21 (Hearst in N Cleveland Park and Oxon Run Pool in Anacostia. A bunch of spray parks are also remaining open until then.
agreed - probably extremely urbanized areas (think most of DC, Arlington, Alexandria, parts of B'more) are close. Everyone else is still a few degrees away.
