Since DCA moved to the current location, they are averaging about one 100-degree day per year.  However, since 100-degree days are clustered, over the period of record, only about 1/3 of years have had a 100-degree day.  This has held over the past two decades, with 7 years of 21 reaching 100 degrees.  It has not hit 100 at DCA since August 2016.

Curious why many (most?) picked DCA and BWI to have higher max temps than IAD.  Any of the three can be the hottest on a given day, but it seems that on recent hot days, IAD has usually had the highest temperature, especially due to its favorable location for the local effects of downsloping winds.

It varies.   Looking back the past 6 years to 2016, IAD was the winner last year and 2019 (which was a tie with BWI at 100)..BWI wins in 2018 & 2020, and ties in 2017 & 2019.  DCA wins in 2016 and ties with BWI in 2017.  

So... (that wasn't particularly well written was it?)...bottom line: in the past 6 years, IAD wins outright last year only.

  Only looking at a 1 degree difference most years, but in 2017 and 2018 IAD was 95 & 96 while the others were 98 & 99.

I can't see these values being exceeded now, so this is probably the contest wrap ...
