CapitalClimate compiles yesterday’s record high temperatures from Virginia and elsewhere:

Richmond 102 (100, 1948)
Wallops Island VA 99 (92, 2002/1997)
Washington National 100 @ 2:32 PM
Washington Dulles 97 @ 1:48 PM

After reporting about the cooler mountain microclimate at Old Dominion Wildlife HQ, we finally broke 90 yesterday with a high yesterday of 92.1F.

A Bit of Relief?

CapitalWeatherGang has just a bit of good news in their latest forecast…

I can’t believe I’m going to say this, but “get out and enjoy” highs around 90 today? It will be a very brief break from the crazy heat that’s been with us since a week ago. Mother Nature refuses to give us any greater reprieve, with highs well into the 90s again this weekend and possibly Monday too…

The heat and humidity should take a step back on Tuesday, to highs in the upper 80s to near 90…
