Saturday, 30 days from the solstice, was a third successive day of readings in the 80s.
Not to gloat, lest the scorching spirits of summertime be provoked, but on Saturday the mercury in the District failed for a third successive day to reach 90 degrees.
In a way, that below average reading seemed a special sign of defiance of Washington’s heat at its most formidable. In another seeming break with this summer’s trends, Saturday also provided the city with a predominantly gray and overcast sky, and even a few raindrops. A sprinkling of raindrops fell on the city for a couple of hours at least, moistening pavements, creating concentric ripples in puddles and giving the sensation, perhaps, that it would amount to more than it actually did.The sensation was enhanced by the thick gray clouds that lumbered across the sky, dark billows that seemed destined to unleash great torrents, but in many places, at least, never quite did.
