Temperatures suddenly soared to record levels, offering a taste of summer
Temperatures suddenly soared to record levels Friday in the Washington region, sending us a clear message: It’s June, summer exists and we were getting a taste of it.
On Friday morning, shortly after 4 a.m. when the moon slipped silently below the western horizon, it was large, orange and almost completely full. A special link exists in American culture between the moon and this month, of course. The fact that the names for Earth’s satellite and for the current month happen to rhyme has not gone unnoticed by the tunesmiths.
The National Weather Service said fires in New Jersey, and in Nova Scotia in Canada, both sent smoke drifting our way.
