Weather DC is experiencing what locals call a second summer. As autumn approaches in less than a month, temperatures are set to rise unexpectedly. Following a brief period of comfortable 80s temperatures, residents will now face the heat as it spikes again, predicted to approach 90 degrees by Monday.
According to FOX 5’s Taylor Grenda, after having experienced a fake fall, now we are looking at a genuine second summer. The heat and humidity are making a comeback, leading to increased misery for some, while others relish the lingering summer feel.
What to Expect
- Heat Index Values: Mid-to-upper 90s are possible.
- Thunderstorm Risks: There will be a marginal risk of severe thunderstorms, including potential for damaging winds, heavy rainfall, and hail starting Monday.
- Fall Return: While temperatures soar this week, expect a return to the 80s by Friday.
As we approach the last official day of summer on September 22, opinions on the second summer vary - with some eager for cooler weather and others embracing the warmth.
