It's nice to have the omg I owe too much in taxes sads in July rather than April.

It's the first I've seen them anywhere since this started... tho Target had their off brand recently as well. I stocked up back in Feb so still have some but was starting to worry about my stock.

I was unreasonably happy to find name brand Clorox wipes at target this afternoon.

updated dc high comparo (cc @stormtracker )

Another kind of day today where you'd expect relatively uniform temps and we got 'em. DCA 90 BWI 90 IAD 89 I think persistence at a level rarely seen is worth more than many but agree it's kinda eh so far as far as long-term memorability (which honestly might be a sign of where we are and where we are going as much as anything else). I'd be at peace if we fail... although I am curious to see how high we can build it back up if we don't. If for some reason it goes four weeks or whatever that's pretty impressive no matter what. Arguably this is a low-hanging fruit record for DC anyway. BWI did 25 in 1995. I bet a lot of whiners on social media complained about the temp gauges then.

Tomorrow looks better than today did going in for 90+... Thur probably looks kinda like today/yesterday (edit on temp projections at least, probably cloudier maybe some rain around). If we really want to DC it we fail Thur with an 89.

We got it. (stand by for official word)

still same thru noon.. 86 today. given the similarities of airmass and tons of sun hard to see why it would miss unless we get screwed by it falling into the river. of course thurs looking like a wildcard lately now too. that was once like 102 on the euro and close on the gfs.

Is this a short joke? I missed you too.

Twitter's biggest problem might be that it never stops. There's something to be said about a slower conversation. Plus I can't stay out of politics these days given the travesty of everything... so there's the angle of me potentially hurting myself by tweeting. I'm treating it like any other addiction for the moment.

not impossible.. think we do have a rather decent shot at the 90+ record of 25 for July/any month. 70+ is a bit harder given the record is 30.

yes on both. 2010 fell just short of that group with 12.. also had an 11... and a fair amount of one day breaks in between streaks.

How about another 2 weeks? People will prob still say it's lame.

I'd imagine the denier set will start caring a lot more if we make it past tomorrow. lol.

we got it

Now down to 56... and another 90 ob. Eight in a row.

if not suit up to riot again

dew point keeps falling off and plenty of clear skies nw we can do this

a surge to 90. ooo boy.

yeah light and variable not the best. other than yesterday most highs have been pretty late lately so we still have some time.

5 min obs are painful don't look. Altho this streak is kinda bootleg so maybe it should end.

Tougher to start so "low" but doable.

Seems a bit better consensus DC can hit 90 tomorrow as we close.

I would imagine there is at least some regional research on this but have not done any myself really. I do know of some other indexes like the wet bulb global temp which apparently have their uses. https://www.weather.gov/tsa/wbgt I do agree it is imperfect but I am not sure it's a hill to die on. As long as we're comparing against like values... people will prob always gravitate toward 90 or 95 vs 92 for instance. 95 is prob too high here at least at the moment.

Here are the averages of 90-degree streaks of 14 days or more. Not imagined this one isn't all that intense so far... did start earlier than many.
