PrinceFrederickWx Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I'm thinking more and more that BWI can pull off a top ten hottest- as of yesterday they were +5.7. If we finished with that departure it would be 7th hottest. Today and tomorrow are going to push that departure even higher. Thurs and Fri look near normal and the weekend and beyond look above average. Of course it could fall apart at the end of the month but its looking good to me now. If it happens, this would be the first back-to-back top ten hottest months since June-July 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're welcome, and as you have noted, the DCA record of 81.7 for the 1980 astronomical summer is suspect, as it exceeded the IAD temperature of 76.1 by 5.6 degrees. So, a faulty DCA sensor may have been a significant factor in that record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just discovered that the September 2016 DCA average minimum of 68.6 broke the all-time DC record of 68.2 set in 1881. On the other hand, the September 2016 DCA average maximum of 83.4 didn't even approach the 1881 record of 88.2. In fact, this year's September average maximum was slightly below last year's (83.5) and ranks only 13th all-time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceFrederickWx Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Two record highs broken and one tied in October at BWI. This was also tied for 10th hottest Aug/Sept/Oct period there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrinceFrederickWx Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 There are only two times in history that BWI has gotten back-to-back shutouts (T or 0) in December: 1888-1889, and 1971-1972. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceFrederickWx Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Also, there has never been a back-to-back combined Nov/Dec shutout ever- in both those periods above, there was snow in November but not December for one of the years (Nov 1888 and Nov 1972).

No contest at Dulles, as today's high of 70 easily eclipsed the previous record of 63 set in 1995. DCA's 72 didn't break the 1890 record of 76, but was the warmest January 12th in DC since that year.

At Dulles, the current record is just 38, set in 2007. Today's low there is currently 49, and is very likely to hold. In DC, the current record is 47, set in 1890. Today's low at DCA is currently 51, and is also very likely to hold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodneyS Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 On 1/31/2016 at 6:43 PM, RodneyS said: And January wasn't cold. It was cool. However the 34.9 degree average temperature at DCA, while only 0.3 degrees below the January 1871-2016 DC average of 35.2 degrees, was 16.3 degrees below the December 2015 average DCA temperature of 51.2 degrees. That decline represented the greatest one-month change from December in DC history. The previous record-holder was January 1912, which declined 16.0 degrees from December 1911. (The largest increase was January 1990, which was up 15.7 degrees from December 1989.) This January was a different story at DCA, rising to an average temperature of 42.1 degrees vs 41.8 in December 2016. The January average was 12th warmest of all-time in DC, and was 6.1 degrees above the 1981-2010 normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's interesting that the lowest DC daily January maximum is quite a bit higher than either December's or February's (now 65, on February 3, 1927), at a relatively balmy 68 degrees (on January 3rd, in both 2000 and 2004). At Dulles, it's a different story, as January 10th (2002) is the lowest daily maximum temperature on record, at a mere 58 degrees. Today's high of 72 at IAD easily broke the previous February 7th record of 65 degrees, but the lowest February daily maximum there remains 63 (in both 1990 and 2001). In December, the lowest IAD daily maximum is also 63, set on December 19th (1967). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah this was a low hanging fruit record at BWI too- appears to be the lowest. Although a high of 72 would break or tie on many other days in February too so it's still an impressive record.

They are currently at three, with many more chances coming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceFrederickWx Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Legit shot at hottest February ever for BWI. As of yesterday the departure was +7.0 which would be tied for 4th with 1932. That will go way up after today and tomorrow. Question is how much Sunday/Monday will knock it down. +8.3 is the magic number, which is where the hottest February (1976) finished. We have five 70+ highs as of today; tomorrow will be an easy win so that ties it at six. Saturday is questionable since the forecast is a high of 68 but if we can overperform a bit we can break the record. Only two degrees away from getting the daily record high today too.

IAD also broke its meteorological winter average high temperature record of 40.0 set in 2011-12, with a Dec-Feb average of 40.7. Finally, DCA broke its previous meteorological winter average high temperature record of 43.4 set in 2011-12, with an average of 43.8, but did not break the all-time DC record of 44.7 set in 1931-32 nor equal the 2nd place DC record of 44.3 established in 1889-90.
