Yikes! Local news channels are all predicting that today, tomorrow, and Thursday will have peak temperatures of 99 or 100 F, with heat index of over 110 for the greater Washington DC area. Icky, sticky. This is one of the reasons we moved out to the woods where we could have a pool and be a little cooler (temperatures in the lee of Bull Run Mountain run 3-6 degrees cooler than they do at Dulles airport only a few miles away).
At least we are scheduled to mostly be indoors between work and dance lessons/practice through most of the expected heat wave, and it is supposed to cool to a still hot and sticky 88 F (95 heat index) by Saturday when we’ll be helping our Soka Gakkai Area Youth Division put on their Festival “Trust through friendhip, peace through trust” at Marshall H.S. from 11:00-1:00.
Definitely a week to hang out in your basement and check on your neighbors periodically to make sure they are surviving the heat. Brutal heat like this can be very hard on the elderly and the poor.
