Models have come into strong agreement on a heat wave in the DC area mid to late next week that will be unusually intense and dangerous.
Many spots could reach or surpass 100 degrees on multiple days, especially Thursday and Friday, which could flirt with the all-time record of 106.
It could remain uncomfortably hot into the July 4 holiday weekend.

The fact that Europeans built hospitals without AC is truly mystifying to me. We can argue about whether it's good/necessary in homes, I suppose, but the people in hospitals are the most likely to die of heat stroke!
Heat makes metal expand. Train tracks expand the trains can't run. Trains dont run, people, fuel, chemicals, food, and equipment don't move. They don't move, economies stall.
Global warming has always been an economic crisis, so let's see how the capitalists respond.
KC has held resentment from ALL the girls for his door being empty on day one. That’s some low self esteem insecure shit Ima be so real it’s embarrassing
europe needs to grow the fuck up. grow. the. fuck. up. extreme heat is DANGEROUS and can be FATAL. enough fucking grandstanding against americans because you have a fucking inferiority complex. GET AC AND SAVE YOUR CITIZENS’ LIVES.
they die. thousands of them. and more are dying every year. growing heat risk is increasing excess deaths. this is what the climate scientists were warning about for twenty years. we had two whole decades to intervene. instead Americans especially doubled down.
