Hot summer nights, indeed.
The new map shows the location of each of the almost 9,000 daily heat records that were broken or tied in July, giving a nearly complete image of the lower 48 states. The records include 2,755 highest maximum temperatures and 6,171 highest minimum temperatures (nighttime records).

I’m happy that my office is business casual, but today’s wedding has me feeling the full fury of DC summer in a suit!

Good to know, as the temps are heating up much faster than my mileage (and I’m loathe to restrict it to just the treadmill).

Ugh.
