Bob Chill Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 congrats DC on new 95+ streak record!!1!!! I'm not sure if I should celebrate or cry. The latter seems more appropriate. The nw ul flow heat wave stuff is odd in some ways. I was looking at the deep blue sky contrasting with the green leaves and during the summer that usually means our area is comfy and below normal temps. Then you step out of the cold car into the hair dryer and realize that it aint comfy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look on the bright side. Your house will be 25 degrees cooler than outside on Saturday. You may need a light jacket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several of the Arlington PWSs are triple digits today. Would be a shame if DCA went 100, 99, 105, 101. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

09-10 analogy Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 My car temp read 111 today. Hottest it ever has. Part of that can be attributed to where I parked it -- an outdoor lot on top of a building -- but last July 29th I'd parked it in the same location for approximately the same length of time, and I don't remember it reading as high. Last Friday doesn't serve as a comparison, since I was working onsite and the lot is covered. Today did not feel nearly as oppressive as last Friday. It wasn't, of course, but there's something to this acclimation notion. 80-some hours without A/C over last weekend boosts the acclimation, I suppose. Tomorrow ought to be the acid test of just how "acclimated" I am. Since all this heat is miserable regardless, we might as well get statistical satisfaction out of it, so I'm rooting for 107 tomorrow. Even if we get there, I still don't think it'll match, in a subjective sense, July 29th of 2011. Wasn't the heat index that day up around 118 or so? Also, Bob Ryan on WTOP was sounding the alarm about "dangerous thunderstorms" on Sunday. Another thing I can't remember happening: anyone in the DC media hyping thunderstorms 48 hours in advance. Then again, after the big downburst event in 1989, I remember the next day the media was honking about the possibility of a repeat later that afternoon.

We have been packing all week for our move tomorrow, pulled out our meat thermometer from a drawer, the drawer was 85 degrees.... Let's hope the next kitchen is better insulated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalcottWx Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 12 40's today so it was light. This heat takes some serious readjustment. I would say the conditions were harder to breathe in yesterday than today. Maybe its my body getting used to things. Unbelievable today with the heat dome and not a cloud in the sky. Imagine the days of no a/c. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
