What a wonderful evening Tuesday with about 300 of our Capital Weather Founders and Sustainers! So grateful for their support and the chance to connect in person. Many thanks to National Geographic for hosting us at its spectacular new Museum of Exploration!
Why are some Northern Virginia neighborhoods so much hotter than others?
On a sweltering summer day, 80 volunteers fanned out across the region to find out.
The result: A fascinating new map revealing persistent hot spots, cool refuges and the remarkable difference trees can make.
See what they found: 👇

Our 2026–2027 Winter Outlook has arrived! Early access is available to supporters at the Friend and Sustainer levels through Sunday, before everyone can read it for free starting Monday.
We’d love for you to become a Friend or Sustainer today if you aren’t already. But getting immediate access to our Winter Outlook isn’t the primary reason to do so.
The main reason we hope you’ll consider contributing is to help us keep our core 24/7 DC-area weather coverage free for everyone on our website and mobile app. Since launching an independent Capital Weather earlier this year, support from Friends and Sustainers has helped make that possible.
Of course, early access to our Winter Outlook and a number of other exclusive benefits are nice perks too!
Learn more about our free and paid support levels and their benefits at capitalweather.com/support-u… capitalweather.com/dc-winter…
How dare some clouds today (Wednesday) interrupt our streak of nearly perfect fall weather!
Even so, it should be nice enough we're giving today an 8/10 on the daily digit.
Looking great through Halloween. We've got the trick-or-treat temperatures in our full forecast at capitalweather.com and the Capital Weather app.

Another ideal evening with temperatures falling from the 60s early to the 50s after sunset.
A few clouds late, and some patchy fog. Partial sun on Wednesday -- still quite decent!

“I didn't think it was possible.”
That's how one leading polar vortex expert (@judah47) reacted to computer models predicting an unprecedented disruption in early November.
It could shake up winter weather patterns across the Northern Hemisphere. But whether that means more cold and snow for the eastern US is a big question mark.
