    DC region. 28/31 days this month will have been above 90 degrees, often with indexes above 100. Hottest July I can remember!

    To be fair, May and June weโ€™re pretty mild, so maybe itโ€™s just averaging out.

      100? Hot?

          I played golf almost every day and spent most of the last week moving 11 yards of mulch.

          Yes, it has been hot.

          And dry.

          I can't remember the last time I was rained out at the golf course, it might be months.

                  I've seen lots of Julys like this.

                  What's the plural of July? Julies? Yep. That's it. Feels wrong.

                          Here in DC, we are used to the week long stretch of 100+ degree index days. Muggy, gross, etc. I'm trying not to have recency bias, but I really don't recall nearly the entire month of July (28 of 31 days) being above 90, plus heat index. And 28 days is technical...I know at least one of the 3 days hit 89 degrees. I'd wager it's the hottest since we've kept records.

                              It's as bad. The other day the temp was 96. The heat index was 110. I went through three shirts that day.

                                Surprisingly (at least to me), the hottest big city in the world, when you take a 24 hour average 365 days a year, is Bangkok Thailand. Temperature does not change much from month to month, and it does not get that cool in the nighttime (which I think is why the city is the hottest).

                                Average temp in April (hottest month) (night plus day) = 89 F and average temp in Dec (coldest month) = 79 F

                                High humidity also so heat index is usually quite high

                                          Fine with me. In DC... you get 4 months of "freezing rain" where the temps hover around 35-40, sometimes could be snow, sometimes ice, sometimes rain. I'd rather have 4 months of cold snow and know what to expect. Plus, autumn lasts longer and the summers have a lower dew point. Yes, please.
