WinterWxLuvr Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 What's the current count on 90+ at DC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacindc Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 August 6th was also ridiculously impressive but we had the advantage of a cloudy start.....basically the weekend of 8/6-8/2004 was probably the nicest mid summer weekend I can ever remember I've lived in DC almost my entire life, and my birthday is August 9, and I can tell you without question that 2004 is the only year I had to put on a sweater when going out (on the 7th) for a birthday dinner. I think of poor Mom pregnant with me in a DC summer in the mid 60s with no air conditioning. I'd apologize, but really, it's Dad's fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs.J Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Have been enjoying this cooler weather. But will be back in the humidity tomorrow as we leave for FL. That air mass two weeks ago got me primed for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast NPZ Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 79 for the high today. already down to 68 with dp 55. skies clear, so we should be good for mid 50s again. love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 That's pretty low isn't it?It's a little below the 81-2010 avg but not many.. Like 3. I don't see how we will get a whole lot more myself given what the pattern looks like ahead but who know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even so, I'd be shocked if we get into the 50s. Just seems odd to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already 64. Easily heading to the 50's again tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I guess that fact just highlights what the last two summers were. Those summers are horrible baselines in any discussion of what's normal. Hopefully. No doubt a mostly sunny 84 isn't your most common late July day in these parts, but many summers do feature at least some cool days somehow. Highs have been very moderate overall though.. nothing super interesting there when it comes to heat really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mappy Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 58 here - feels good. Guess I had to get the one chilly morning out of my system to really enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 55F for the low this morning. wonderful stretch of weather for July - which is almost over! only 1 more month of summer to go and no heatwaves on the horizon (yet)!! I always feel like any really blistering heatwaves are probably confined to the first two-weeks of Aug out here as the nights are quickly becoming longer. I don't really know, or even want to, if that feeling is grounded in fact, but it gives me light at the end of the tunnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WEATHER53 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Low of 63, I am going with 59 for a low tonight. 60 for my low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 64.5 at home. The higher elevation areas were 63-65 and the lower ones were around 60. Amazingly, another PWS was added near me this week on wunderground, bring the total to 10 in about a 3 mile radius of my house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clock is ticking on summer. It can be warm for quite some time, but we are getting close to the time when the sun angle begins its 90 day rapid decline, nearly 33 degrees worth (our location).

Are these the Wunderground stations? If so, I know how to access them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Local PWSs were all around 62 this morning. Amazing that we could only drop 4-5* from 11:00-6:00 under mostly clear skies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
