Weather characteristics in Washington
Summer is hot and humid. The highest and lowest average temperatures in July are 88 degrees Fahrenheit (3 1 celsius) and 70 degrees Fahrenheit (2 1 celsius) respectively, but the highest temperature will exceed 95 degrees Fahrenheit (35 degrees celsius), accompanied by high dew point. [52] The combination of damp and heat in summer brings very frequent thunderstorms, some of which occasionally produce tornadoes in this area. Although hurricanes (or their remnants) occasionally pass through the area in late summer and early autumn, they often weaken when they reach Washington, partly because the city is inland. However, the Potomac River flood caused by high tide, storm surge and runoff has caused extensive property losses in Georgetown. [53]
