Bob Chill Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 #4 does look to potentially roast us up pretty good......until a weak front drapes itself over the area and clouds us up for a couple of days. The next 4 weeks are prime time for the DC area to have some 95-100 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 With 19 days, we're (DC) a little over 7 days above average 90+ at this pt. Puts us above roughly 90% of other years. 14 have more -- 1991 and 2010 lead pack with 27. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 If we get to 95, and it seems we should.. only 3 yrs will have more 95+ through this date. 1911 (11), 1991 (12), 2010 (10). 1925 and 1934 would be tied with 8. Avg is 2.9 thru the 7th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 I generally don't mind heat - especially in July when it's supposed to be really warm - but it's getting a little old now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 I still have a hard time believing this summer is shaping up to be a top 10 hot summer. I've been outside a bunch this summer and just haven't roasted like I have in years past. I remember last summer being brutal. This summer has been quite tolerable to me.

Last summer was persistent from spring really. This summer has had some nicer breaks which make it somewhat tolerable but the heat has been pretty strong when it is in the area.

I agree, it has been a nice summer. I have yet to break 90 at my WV place. with 89.9 my high for the year. Monday I think will be close again?

This summer has had some nicer breaks which make it somewhat tolerable but the heat has been pretty strong when it is in the area. Hard to argue with that. I was outdoors most of the day on Saturday and even though we were in the 90's it just wasn't humid. We've had a lot of 90+ but comfortable humidty this year. Gotta love W or NW flow even in the 90's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harv_poor Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 As someone who tries to golf several days a week, I measure the heat by the number of Gatorades I drink, and the related number of trees I have to "borrow". I agree with you that Saturday was comfortable whereas Monday the 4th was pretty brutal. 40 ounces is normal spring/fall , 60 is a typical 90+ summer day and 80 oi=unces is for a brutal day like Monday. Hard to argue with that. I was outdoors most of the day on Saturday and even though we were in the 90's it just wasn't humid. We've had a lot of 90+ but comfortable humidty this year.

Ellinwood Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 92 high yesterday at DCA after an 87 high on Friday... running two degrees warmer than yesterday at 8am. Looks like even hotter temps over the next few days, with GFS MOS at 99 and NAM MOS at 98 for Tuesday. So much for the normal/cool July theory. We MIGHT get normal temps towards the end of the week if the current forecast holds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
