11pm was 89/78 - close!

they literally almost tied it up right at the end for a 3rd time - just incredible effort.

DC just cancelled theirs for tomorrow.

at least by the 1990s, the heat index was definitely something communicated pretty routinely in local news etc, at least in these parts. Not sure what you mean by "preferred narrative" aside from stating obvious facts about now versus in the past.

95 at 10pm at DCA lol. I assume the wind will switch and some point and it will go to like 88/79 but still.

we got close to 120 - lots of trees here plus somewhat close to the Potomac. I believe it.

98/72 at 8pm. Hot.

water temps are in the upper 80s now - it makes total sense IMO

folks are starting to chirp about a death ridge out west.

we went to the pool for a bit (Katie Ledecky's childhood pool actually) - water temp had to have been 90+. Wasn't really refreshing lol.

At my PWS it was 101/78 about an hour ago for a heat index of 118F. Now it's 102.6/75.2 for a heat index of 117.3

the 110-115 heat index numbers on back to back days is insane. I don't remember this combo of 100+ and 70-75 dewpoints anytime recently. The July 2024 extreme heat had dews in the 60s.

98/70 at SHD is pretty brutal for them.

102/74/115 at DCA is just brutal.

Just absurd lows all up and down the east coast. DCA - 84 EWR - 87 (lol) PHL - 82 NYC - 84 LGA - 83 BOS - 82
