[Jebman]

Something is very wrong with the weather. It is unusually hot down here too. Mom is making me plant plants very early.

I know I just went thru all my weather readings. Even farther north temps have been very warm for the date.

For example

That's the high and low then the dew point then the actual temp/DP spread then the average high/low then the rain so far then the sunset

Indiana, PA 71/56 DP58 59/58 (44/27) 5.00 7.18
Binghamton, NY 71/57 DP56 62/56 (38/22) That high and low is 33 and 35 degrees above normal!! 6.85 7.05

[Interstate]

64/62.2 Midnight reading

[pazzo83]

DCA will get a high of at least 76F for the day.

[pazzo83]

last 5 days for DCA will have highs of 76, 76, 84, 86, and 77 (at least).  Prob won't see a stretch this warm again until April.

Getting these impressive Winter temp spikes. Remember the Jan 26, 2024 80F at DCA

[Stormchaserchuck1]

Is 77F at 2am for DCA the highest ever for Winter?

Let’s put it this way. The 76 and 75 observed at DCA at 3am and 4am would be a record for those hours in April.
