Summer in the Burg: The Heat Index. It's 98 in the shade, and the shade is also 98.

First triple-digit feels-like of the season. The Burg discovers that asphalt holds a grudge.

THE FORECAST · 7:02 AM

"Mostly sunny, high near 96." The Burg nods. The Burg has not yet stepped outside.

THE CAR · 12:15 PM

Steering wheel reads 140°. Seatbelt buckle reads "do not." A single Honda Civic becomes a kiln on Caroline Street.

THE SHADE MIRAGE · 3:40 PM

Citizen sprints to the one tree on Princess Anne. Discovers the shade is also 98. Discovers the bench is, somehow, 104.

"Feels like 109." Feels like the asphalt has personally read your reviews and disagrees.
