UFC Freedom 250 is facing a chaotic weather setup on the White House South Lawn, with a 60% chance of thunderstorms, heavy downpours, and wind gusts up to 34 mph threatening to delay the outdoor fights. On top of the storm risk, brutal D.C. humidity is driving a triple-digit heat index alongside massive swarms of mosquitos and gnats that fighters will have to battle inside the cage. While the venue’s massive 92-foot overhang will keep the octagon dry, a single lightning strike within eight miles will trigger an automatic 30-minute freeze on the entire event.

☀️ Heads-up, New York. Thursday brings the first real scorcher of the season, with the heat index climbing to 98°F (37°C) by early afternoon. A Heat Advisory is in effect from noon Thursday through 8 PM Friday. The best move on a day like this is to find a cool option, meaning any public or private space with air conditioning, like a library, a mall, a friend’s place, or a city cooling center.

Find one near you at https://t.co/04ULpqxfIY. 🧊

Cranking AC across the city also strains the power grid, so timing your energy use matters too. Here is how the day will feel hour by hour, and what to do at each step to stay ahead of both. 👇

[NWS New York NY @NWSNewYorkNY]

🌡️ Hot and humid conditions will combine to produce maximum heat index values approaching 100 degrees Thursday and Friday.
⛈️ Isolated to scattered strong to severe thunderstorms possible in the afternoon and evening today through Friday.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

It’s about to get hot, New York.

Sometimes, too hot.

Don’t let extreme heat sneak up on you this summer. Go to https://t.co/B0DWoVpTzh for more information on how to stay cool during heat emergencies.

[NYC Emergency Management @nycemergencymgt]

NYC summer is HERE — and so is the heat. 🌞

A heat advisory is in effect Thursday and Friday. Storms are possible the next few nights. Find AC. Hydrate. Check on neighbors — older adults and anyone without air conditioning.

Between the World Cup, the Puerto Rican Day Parade, the Knicks, and everything else going on for all of summer, stay one step ahead.

Thursday and Friday the heat index may hit 100 degrees. Extreme heat is deadly, so please seek out air conditioning and help your neighbors do the same. We are activating hundreds of free, public cooling centers across all five boroughs. Find a cooling center at: https://t.co/Iqa7gXBXXp.

Agreed.
OTOH, when the run-up to this historic birthday of our great nation has been characterized by the following developments in and around the nation’s capital:
1) $1 billion construction of a White House ballroom that included a previously unannounced razing of the East Wing (thus leaving a gaping hole during the birthday celebrations); 2) the rushed addition of the name “Trump” to the Kennedy Center; 3) the dropping of a banner, with the ominous visage of the president on the Justice Department building; 4) the declaration (with no input from Congress) of a huge arch that will forever change the sight lines in Washington DC; 5) the declared changing of the reflecting pool on the Mall; 6) this week’s announcement of the attempt to create a new $250 bill with, yes, the president’s face on it – contravening all tradition and law surrounding living persons appearing on America’s currency.

Given that record, is it really that difficult to understand (absent calling out an extreme version of so-called “TDS”) more than a few Americans might think that the commemoration of our nation’s birth has actually been subsumed by the vanity of the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

In that reality, it makes sense that performers (however they may have been “hired”) would prefer not to be associated with any event even adjacent to the Narcissus-In-Chief.
