IronTy Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 92F down by the bay. When I left DC it was def oppresive my car's AC couldn't keep up when I was idling. And there's some crazy traffic at the triangle at New York Ave. What a mess. Feels much nicer down here in the woods. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 My high looks like it will be 96.3. Impressive, and more along the lines of the warmer models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must've waited fifteen red light cycles to turn from First to NY Ave. Avoiding that whole area like the plague until construction is done. I'm impressed they were doing work in the beating sun with no visible cooling stations around. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a normal summer day. Classic summer conditions. I bet the pools are packed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

America was built on the backs of hundreds of thousands of work related injuries and deaths. OSHA didn't exist until 1971 and wasn't doing a whole lot before the 80s. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eskimo Joe Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 12z GFS has 23 degree air at 850 on Saturday, but Sunday it really ups the ante regionwide. Near 25 degree airmass moves over. If there isn't convection to cut out the sun, it's entirely BWI, DCA, and IAD all hit 100. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskimo Joe Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 lol...GFS tries to push +26 air over everyone again on Wednesday. Would be an utter torch. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlizzardNole Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 I'm glad we don't get the nasty milky sky HHH days like back in the 70s and 80s. That haze would make the air itself bright as heck 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeatherShak Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 You don't see that today because the air is so much cleaner than the 70's and 80's. That is a fact though some act otherwise.If this is true. That’s awesome. 90s forecasts always use to say HHH. So far during this wave I personally haven’t felt the humidity has been that bad. The heat today is noticeable. Still cruised in my jeep with top down and was still nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to go back nearly that far for the HHH skies. I remember them and I was born in '92. The legislation responsible for removing the vast majority of that aerosol layer was 1990's Clean Air Act amendment signed in by HW. The downstream effects of that would not be fully realized for 20+ years. Our air was pretty shitty through the new millenium. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it saves people’s lives in addition to making blue skies a thing again in summer. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Pixee Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 94/41 at 6pm DP 64 HI holding at 98. Must be rooks talking about the weather on the news. They act like the DMV doesn't know what a hot summer is. Either that or they aren't from around here. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
