Sunday, July 24 at
3 PM, Go for the Record High. With temperatures predicted to hit 100°F and
a heat/humidity index of 112°F, Sunday is sure to be a scorcher - but will it
be hot enough to break a record? The number to beat is 101°F set back in 2010
(source: Accuweather.com).
Washingtonians, we can do it -- so let’s bring on the heat and make this one for
the record books! We will assemble at the National Weather Station at Reagan
National Airport, where DC’s weather measurements are taken, at 3PM - typically
the hottest time of day - and please bring a pile of highly flammable kindling
to add to the giant bonfire we will create to ramp up the heat as much as we can, as
close to the temperature recording spot as the NWS will allow. For directions
to our gathering spot, go to: http://bit.ly/cpfakeevent.
Monday, July 25
