As usual we in the NorthWest are eagerly awaiting July 5th and the annual beginning of summer! Forecasts say we should expect a steady rise in temperatures throughout the week and even into the 70s!! Climatologists apparently are predicting summer weather in Washington to begin around the 12th of July. I, for one, am anxious to find out when I can be warm without running the heat.
I recall living on the opposite coast and sweltering through a grueling Fourth of July Beach Boys concert on the Capitol Mall (I'd have traded my left arm for a cold beer as I remember it). There were ambulances everywhere just waiting for people to drop from heat exhaustion. Once I moved out here I remember thinking how amusing it was to need a parka to watch the fireworks. It's no longer amusing. While I certainly don't envy anyone back in the DC area enduring blistering heat with no electricity, I am longing for a hot day (not 105 but a nice 80 or 85 would be very welcome)!
So, fingers crossed that some of our cold air moves to the east (happy to share!) and if we could have just a taste of what it is to be summer in exchange I would be grateful.
