High temperatures broke records and kept the D.C. region in summer mode.
Not only did summer return to the Washington area on Sunday, but it arrived with thermal vigor and unprecedented intensity, setting heat records for Baltimore and at Dulles International Airport.
But no. Sunday afternoon’s 97 fell only a single degree short of the D.C. record for Sept. 3, set 70 years ago, in 1953.Elsewhere in the region, what we might have regarded as the fading furnaces of summer reasserted themselves with what might have seemed to be a fierce and fiery pride. Obviously Sunday’s high readings held significance in themselves. But as in many trips, interest resided not only in destinations, but also in journeys.
