I'm really tired of overcast 70-degree-dewpoint mornings. Isn't the front ever going to come through?
-
A normal summer day feels really nice after five days of blowtorch and a week of stifling overcast.
-
Looked like we were finally going to get an actual sunny day, but here come the clouds again. Sigh.
-
Pouring near the Vienna Metro station. Waiting in a tunnel for the rain to slack off so I can finish my walk home without having to put all my clothes in the dryer immediately.
-
Still overcast in Fairfax City. DPs are back up into the ridiculous range.
-
I certainly don't care for a solid week in midsummer with maybe one hour of sun per day if you're lucky. And the humidity needs to start decreasing!
-
Dewpoint down a couple of ticks, nice breeze, it actually feels fairly pleasant this morning.
-
A day when you need the air conditioning even though it's 73. Humidity just gradually saps the will to live.
-
My neighborhood looks to be safe from storms for another day.
-
Murky and muggy. A 2/10 or 1/10 day, depending on whether a storm hits while I'm walking home.
-
Feels downright pleasant right now compared to yesterday. Turned the AC off at 9 p.m. and the residual cool air means it's still just 80 in the hallway.
-
Nothing but some light rain last night in Vienna. Overcast sky.
-
Smoke on the water . . .

Yeah, almost every time an article from The Guardian appeared in my feed, it was "Climate catastrophe!! World ending, everyone's gonna die!!" I guess they're some of the folks pushing for "degrowth". I had to block them, because I'm damn sick and tired of seeing nothing but bad news, all day, every day.

IAD back down to 97. Guess we won't get triple digits today. And I don't see a single cloud out the window of Caboose Mosaic.
-
IAD as always the laggard, still 97
-
88/73 at 8:30 a.m. Stone the crows.
-
Even at the mouth of the Amazon, nights never get this hot!! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belém#Geography note that temp averages year-round are just "normal DC July".
-
Local Climatological Data reports from back then didn't even include dewpoints, nor are they available on XMACIS. Getting that data is really difficult.
-
Just got back from the Town of Vienna fireworks. That miserable humidity did its best to sap the pleasure from the occasion! There were also tiny bugs landing on me, way too small to be mosquitoes.
-
Even way the hell up at the northern tip of Maine, Caribou is at 88/72! And probably nobody has air conditioning there, since the average July high is in the mid-70s.
-
In the seventies and eighties, a typical HHH summer day would have a milky-white sky with the sun not even visible! The only sign that a thunderstorm was approaching was the white gradually darkening. As a kid, I didn't know what was meant by references in books to "seeing the storm clouds gathering".
-
IAD stalled at 95 for the past few hours
-
Forecast.weather.gov looks to be down. Maybe their data center got flooded.
-
Very small rain blob right over central-western Fairfax County since at least sunrise. I keep waiting for this rain cell to move east and for us to get some sunshine to reduce the dewpoint a little, but it keeps on not happening. Pretty frustrating,
