Ian Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 For all we know DCA can't hit 106 so 105 is like the record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 For all we know DCA can't hit 106 so 105 is like the record. I figure most old records are probably worse than the UHI versions nowadays Mar 22, 1889 – Mar 5, 1942 – Elevation 112 feet- Signal Service office located at 2416 M Street NW (Approximately three-quarters mile northwest of location at 1744 G street NW). Signal Service records indicate the observer’s office was in the attic but the room identification changed to number 23 between Jul 1890 and Jun 1891, although the elevation for the barometer did not change. Also, no change was indicated on the form regarding “First observation taken in present office.” The Weather Bureau assumed responsibility for weather observations at this location on July 1, 1891. - Weather Bureau records indicated room number 23 was located on the third floor of the building. The room also was referred to as the “Forecast Room” or “Observatory.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I'm estimating 107. We win. Mar 22, 1889 – Mar 5, 1942 – Signal Service office located at 2416 M Street NW (Figure 6). Signal Service records indicate the observer’s office was in the attic but the room identification changed to number 23 between Jul 1890 and Jun 1891, although the elevation for the barometer did not change. The instruments were located on the roof. The Weather Bureau assumed responsibility for weather observations at this location on July 1, 1891. 1930s records bunk.

Maximum lawman Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I lived there. I have context. I'm not saying you are wrong, it just hurts a little. The good news is that the Central PA MCS is not going to achieve derecho status so the streets of Filthadelphia look safe tonight. Tomorrow?

In a strange and childish way...I'm actually kinda pissed I didn't record 100 today. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 pure speculation but gotta wonder what happens if/when the pattern reloads after any break. maybe it won't happen but could be timed more closely to when we have seen other big heat days late jul/early aug.

brettjrob Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Funny how IAD can just hit triple digits like it's nothing these days. For those who may be newer to the area, it took a decade to return there once upon a time (not so long ago): 8/17/97 to 8/8/07. Since then: 7/6/10 7/7/10 7/21/11 7/22/11 7/29/11 6/29/12 7/7/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.J Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 As of right now sitting at 100 on my backyard station. Not sure if it went hotter than that as I was out from 2-5. My car showed 102 when I left at 5:00 where I was at in the north end of Frederick City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
