WASHINGTON (DC News Now) — News of a heat advisory in place Wednesday sent lots of people outside on Tuesday to get in a workout or some court time before the heat was set to roll in.
For those who called last week a false fall, we’re now in a second summer.
“Yeah trojan horse weather for sure,” said Jay Smith.
“Bro it’s so hot my chest is sweating,” said Jayden Lipscomb.
While temperatures were back in the 90s, kids enjoyed time outside after school – or tried to.
“The heat, it gets to me a lot because I hate being in the heat, sweating, running and then I’m hot,” said Kamiya Appiah.
The splash pads are a nice reprieve.
“It’s hot as hell. Tomorrow’s going to be even hotter. Drink lots of water. I prefer coconut water over regular water,” said Linesha Littleton.
Littleton’s description of this summer is simple: “Hot, aggravating. Hot.”
Over at the skate park, though some preferred the hot to the cold, everyone was sweating up a storm.
“Man, I feel like I need an energy drink. And maybe a new shirt,” Smith said.
As people prepare for potential feels-like temperatures in the triple digits again, many are hoping for cooler days ahead.
“I’ll say the cold over the heat any time,” Littleton said.
“It’s hotter than Florida so I gotta tell ya’ll something. Drink a lot of water,” Lipscomb said.
