Saturday appeared to follow along the sweltering path blazed in D.C. in most of late June.
Heat seemed to dominate the day in the District on Saturday, as temperatures returned to the 90s in bright sunshine. Humidity was back, too, creating a sense of summer stickiness that was confirmed by a “feels-like” reading of 100 degrees.
But Saturday was the District’s 12th day in the last 13 with a temperature above 90 degrees. In addition to its heat scores, Saturday scored high on two of the most widely cited scales of humidity. Just before 5 p.m., the heat index, often called the feels-like temperature, had reached 100 degrees.The feels-like figure is often accepted as an accurate indicator of atmospheric ability to induce a sense of sweaty misery. But it is not the only one.
All that is preamble to reporting that on Saturday the dew point reached a generally deplored high of 73 degrees, after spending most of the day in the only-slightly-lower 70s.Readings above 70 are often termed undesirable, oppressive, even miserable.
