While Matt Drudge notes scorching temperatures in Las Vegas and Death Valley (yeah, go figure) and a drought alert in Britain, we're continuing to suffer in silence here in DC. OK, actually we're loudly complaining, but the weather has been quite miserable with high temps, high humidity and frequent rain -- which the mosquitoes love. At times I feel like I'm living in the tropics.

Well, it's nice to know I'm not the only one:
By midday yesterday, the National Weather Service issued a heat advisory for the region, effective through tomorrow, with a heat index of over 100 degrees. The index, a calculation of heat and humidity that -- much like the windchill factor in winter -- is a measure of what the weather actually feels like, puts Washington this week on par with the tropics, said Alex Sosnowski, an Accu-Weather meteorologist. Except, he said, "true tropical air is generally fairly clean."
Oh, and I'm supposed to play in a soccer tournament this Saturday -- on artificial turf.
