Go ahead, make your swamp joke: But as of this writing, it feels hotter in Washington than any other big city in the United States. The temperature at 11:45 AM was about 94 degrees—hot enough to top any city outside Las Vegas, where it was 97 degrees—but the heat index in DC is even more alarming.
The heat index in Washington was measured at 108 degrees at 12:15 AM, making it the most oppressive in any major US city. And it may get even worse this afternoon if the air temperature creeps into three-digit territory. The mercury might be a few ticks higher in Nevada, but as your retired relatives will tell you, that’s a dry heat.
Washington Is Currently the Hottest City in the Country
DC, so hot right now.
This weekend was unbearable. I feel bad for anyone who had something going on outside.
Our neighborhood pool water was warm, so you couldn't even properly cool off.
Just gotta get thru this week....
Says something when you're actually looking forward to the temps "dipping" to the low 90's
