  1. 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).
  2. yikes - yeah we are getting close to that. we have one patch of green grass where we always set up the inflatable pools for our two daughters lol.
  3. ground here is starting to look pretty rough - and some leaves are changing color that shouldn't be.
  4. looks like DCA touched at least 98, so new record for the day. 97/72 in Tenleytown, pretty brutal ngl
  5. 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?
  6. 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.
  7. 11am DCA: 90 IAD: 90 (although 91 at the first 5 min ob after) BWI: 91
  8. 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.
  9. yeah bc of the clouds yesterday, my station is 2-3F warmer than yesterday.
  10. there will prob be widespread 100+F temps today (including DCA if we keep the NW wind).
  11. 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.
  12. what a wild year that must have been. Folks in March thinking - oh man, this summer is gonna be brutal if it's already this hot. And then... lol.
  13. Looks like the 2012-2022 period at DCA is already in the 60-65 range (barely):
  14. the 1991-2020 normals have DCA at 59.3F (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington,_D.C.#Climate)
  15. meanwhile in upper NW our dews have been mostly above 70F. 95/71 currently.
  16. looks like DCA's 97 (so far) is a record for the day.
  17. yeah the fact that the trees are taking a hit is really bad.
  18. wind shifted and DCA is hanging out around 81/82 now - but the dewpoint has jumped into the mid 70s.
  19. 80+F min watch at DCA this week with no t-storms in the forecast. 89F at the 9pm hour.
  20. 93/94 here in Tenleytown - but our dewpoint has been around 70 all afternoon.
  21. so far the lower dews + higher air temps scenario seems to be playing out - we'll see if that continues.
