💨 Abstract

Washington D.C. is under consecutive high-heat alerts: a current Heat Alert until 8 p.m. and an upcoming Extreme Heat Alert starting Monday, with temperatures expected to reach 100 degrees. Homeowner Philip Dancer recommends preparing for the heat by inspecting for gaps outdoors, closing shades, keeping unused room doors shut, conserving appliance use, and maintaining thermostats between 75-78 degrees to help air conditioning efficiency.
