Is there a universal standard for Europe to measure precip days? I see UK uses 1mm but then I'm looking at Brussels just as a for instance and it uses 0.005" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brussels#Climate
Wait, don’t you have AC at home ? I wouldn’t live in the DC area without AC as a standard feature. I only open my windows when it’s in the low 80’s and keep it open until it drops below mid 50’s. Any hotter than 85 and I need my AC.
I have AC, however it's not an HVAC system, it's a noisy wall unit. I can't run that while I work in case I have to make a call or take a call. I grew up without AC or even fans in Europe, open windows is all we did for hot weather, so that's always going to be my go-to option. As long as the indoor temp is under 80 degrees I'm fine during the day.
I do usually run the AC at night before bed for an hour or two because I like it to be a bit cooler than that when I sleep, but that's it.
GFS says never mind. Heat wave will be just for a few days next week then bust
Going to turn wetter as we close out July. LOL "Historic heat"
Good it has been way too hot in the Uplands of southern Indiana. I've had several days above 90 degrees,(quite hot for this elevation and densely wooded area), and it has been drying out quickly.

I had a portable unit for a few weeks when my HVAC broke down, it was simple to install and just as quiet as my HVAC unit. I keep my thermostat at 76 during the day and 73 at night, and even that is pushing it.
Today is predicted to be slightly cooler with a high of just 86 F, but a dew point if 72 feels quite nasty.

But all that media hype lol "historic heatwave" nonsemse. Not even close for the Midwest.
Seems like forever ago that I was commenting on how slow the start of summer was for us.
Not sure if I believe my own PWS but we just hit 93.4 with a DP of 79. Heat index 111.7.
I don't know if that's entirely accurate, but it's definitely hot out.
Supposedly could get mid-upper 90s next week
