Heat seemed forgotten as we spent most of Friday in the dry and pleasant 70s.
But Friday seemed like a long, cool drink. As of 5 p.m., Washington’s official high was 80; with the average high for the date at 81, Friday seemed one of those cherished summer days that falls short of thermal expectations.
Even the high of 80 might not say what it seemed to. It was 80 only briefly. Readings in the salubrious 70s dominated the day. Also, amid breezes from cooler regions, we enjoyed an atmosphere so invigoratingly dry it seemed the sort of meteorological gift that shows up so lamentably seldom in a Washington summer.
