Friday’s 77degrees may have awakened thoughts of summer.
On many days in early spring, afternoon temperatures often surge exuberantly, while mornings retain a chill that can remind us of winter.
As recently as Tuesday, our low was exactly 40, giving us only an eight-degree separation from the freezing mark. Our high temperature of 77 degrees seemed recognizable as warm in an absolute sense. It also seemed warm in a relative sense, six degrees above the average for April 22 in Washington.Although the temperature perhaps fell a few degrees shy of the true sense of summer, it spoke clearly of outdoor ease and comfort, and not of some sort of freakish meteorological departure that defied all expectations.
To be quantitatively accurate, summer as marked by the June 21 solstice of course remains days and weeks in the future.With 93 days from the March 20 equinox to the solstice, on Friday the formal first day of summer lay 60 days ahead.Of course such a day as Friday deserves consideration on its own, not on its role as a prelude or suggestion of a season to come.
