yoda Posted Sunday at 01:12 PM Author Share Posted Sunday at 01:12 PM I believe it was @Ian who coined the 90 by 11am (or was it 10am?) for DCA to breach 100 degrees? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If DCA hits 90° by 10am, 100° is almost a lock. You almost need 90°by 11am or its not happening. Getting 100° in these parts is rare, getting 100°+ is even rarer.

NorthArlington101 Posted Sunday at 03:38 PM Share Posted Sunday at 03:38 PM I’ll take the under on 100s - one day the streak will break but I’ll just assume we can’t do it til we can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I am talking out of my butt a bit but feel like we never get there - at least formally at the airports we hit it six times back in 2024, with the hottest being 104. That was the first time since 2016 I believe. We hit 100 a couple weeks back as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pazzo83 Posted Sunday at 08:39 PM Share Posted Sunday at 08:39 PM 2024 was a pretty insane year in terms of heat around here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2024/12/30/washington-dc-warmest-year-climate/ First January 80F on record, Nov temp of 84F was the warmest on record so late in the year. The 100F temps, the most 80F+ lows on record (8). But still a pedestrian 48 90+ days. IT was just kind of wall-to-wall warm. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlet Pimpernel Posted Sunday at 09:37 PM Share Posted Sunday at 09:37 PM Personally, I can't stand extreme heat and consider it a "win" if we can avoid a ton of mid-upper 90s or 100+ degree days in any given summer! Hell, last August was about one of the most pleasant Augusts I can recall in this area, in a summer that wasn't overly insufferable. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing that helped 2024 was that it was really dry in that period. It’ll be interesting to see if this weekend’s rain has any affect by later this week.

H2O Posted Monday at 11:05 AM Share Posted Monday at 11:05 AM It’s gonna be hot for a few days. Can’t do much about it. All I care about is how long will it last. Hope the models are right and it breaks down the ridge after Sunday 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
