(52,351 posts)7. Phila was the same. 95 degrees and humid
I couldn't believe it when I checked out the weather in DC (my niece is there). Hot and humid ...YUK!!! I remember living in Center City, Phila and we were wet from sweat as soon as we left any place with A/C. I graduated college and an A/C window unit was my gift.
