It’s a historic day (in a sad way imo) for DC’s climate history. There’ve been many close calls even in the distant past, but I’m pretty sure today is the first time DC has ever recorded 80 in January.

Been checking records for this area today.  MRB had an 80 degree January day in 1932.  I would have guessed DC would have done it before now.

It's hard to get the perfect wind direction.  Crystal city helps too.

looks like BWI also just set their all time monthly high - 77F.

I’m surprised… I could’ve sworn we had some upper 70s January days in the past. I wouldn’t put it past BWI to hit 80 today but will probably just fall short.

I could be wrong - maybe that is a daily record.

I think it might be a BWI record, not the general Baltimore record (which is 79).  BWI opened for service in the summer of 1950.

Looks like you’re correct.  The current location started reporting in 1951 and missed the record warm days from the 30’s and 1950.  Highest at BWI before now was 75.
