Fortunately, we haven't had one triple digit day yet but this weekend is
supposed change that.
The National Weather Service records that this was the hottest July since they
began keeping records. This pertains to average temperature for (1) entire
world - land and sea, (2) ocean temperatures, (3) continental U.S., and (4)
Washington D.C. metro area.

One micro-climate's conditions cannot be used to generalize.
