I'm just back from my vacation in the Adirondacks of upstate NY and the Green Mountains of Vermont. I returned on a delayed flight, due to thunderstorms in DC. Now I'm looking at the weather forecast for tomorrow, Monday, July 28, through the end of the month.
All I can say is "Ugh".
I've just enjoyed a week of low 70 to mid-70s for the high each day -- and one day in the low 80s, which was considered quite hot! There was a rain shower one morning but but by the afternoon the sun was peeking out from behind some puffy white clouds in a soft blue sky. Humidity? What is that? A light breeze kept the air fresh and clear.
My iPhone is set to give me the DC weather each day, no matter where I am in the world, and so I can tell you, every day that was in the 90s here while it was in the 70s where I was, could be measured on the Schadenfreude temperature scale. For example, on Thursday July 24 the high was 97°SF in Washington. It was 81°SF in Vermont.
And it looked like this:
(It just looks like the hydrangeas are blocking the doorway, but they're on the side.)
It was wonderful for a week, but despite the difference in degrees SF, I'd still rather live year-round in Cleveland Park!
