DC's at 99 right now, and we're expected to break the record of 102 set all the way back in 1874.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I had thought this might be a milder summer than last given the rains and slow temperature ramp-up during the spring, but today's Natter makes me feel that we're going to see 106° again.
I don't want to see 106 unless it's on a birthday cake Willard Scott is giving someone.

I needed a jacket on Thursday. Two days later I'm putting my AC units in the windows. I do not LIKE! And the damn weather forecasters are pulling that "2 days later" shit on when the heat is going to really break.

I think that one of the reasons why its so horrible in DC is that we had really nice, unseasonably cool weather for the last few weeks, then BAM! Heat of the summer, baby! It's not unusual for this time, it's just that we didn't have the gradual warming, so it just feels hotter.

Pretty much exactly what happened here. I suspect the whole east coast has been going like that. As aggravating as not knowing how to dress for the day can be (needing a coat in the morning but wanting to be in shorts in the afternoon), I'll take that anytime over this oven/sauna weather. Meh and feh, I says.

NYC kind of skipped spring this year. We went straight from "Why won't it warm up already?" to "OMGWTFHEAT!" without our usual 2-weeks-of-perfection in between.
And the humidity is the killer. As long as there was a breeze yesterday, it was just fine. Then the wind died down and it was like someone had filled my living room with SOUP.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think we had two weeks of perfection! Spread out over two months, but still.

Heh - okay, maybe if you added all the nice days up, we had our full 2 weeks of spring. But they weren't consecutive.

The keep saying its a wave of high pressure, but doesn't that usually bring drier, windier (if not cooler) air? I thought it was low pressure that brought the hot soupy weather?
