This is unreal🥵I had to double check, but it's currently 87 degrees at DCA with a 75° dewpoint , which means it feels like 96 sweltering degrees in the middle of the night in the city🫠 Talk about urban heat island! wjla.com/weather

Please keep our first responders in mind in this heat. The more you take steps to avoid heat illness, the less calls they get. And they have been BUSY! Thinking of all the folks that work outdoors on these days. We appreciate all you do. Be safe! wjla.com/weather
