Washington, DC was 106 degrees today at 5:40pm. Julie and I were coming back from the Ocean City and we were in the Annapolis area, when I asked her to take a picture of the dash on our Quest.
From the Washington Post--> 5:40 p.m. update: The weather observer at National Airport
reports the temperature did hit 106 for one minute. That would have tied
D.C.’s all-time high, but it has to last for at least three minutes to
count. So today’s official high will go down as 105, breaking the
previous July 7 record of 102 in 2010. Also, Dulles tied its record high
for the date with a high of 101, while BWI broke its record high for
the date with a high of 103.
