Good times!

Just checked the weather forecast and discovered that we're under this heat advisory, which makes me even happier that our A/C is working again:
...HEAT ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 12 PM TO 8 PM EDT TUESDAY...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN STERLING VIRGINIA HAS ISSUED A HEAT ADVISORY...WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM 12 PM TO 8 PM EDT TUESDAY.

HIGH TEMPERATURES TUESDAY BETWEEN 95 AND 100 DEGREES WILL COMBINE WITH A HUMID AIRMASS TO YIELD A HEAT INDEX BETWEEN 105 AND 110 DEGREES. SIMILAR CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE ONCE AGAIN WEDNESDAY.

A HEAT ADVISORY MEANS THAT A PERIOD OF HOT TEMPERATURES IS EXPECTED. THE COMBINATION OF HOT TEMPERATURES AND HIGH HUMIDITY WILL COMBINE TO CREATE A SITUATION IN WHICH HEAT ILLNESSES ARE POSSIBLE. DRINK PLENTY OF FLUIDS... STAY IN AN AIR-CONDITIONED ROOM...STAY OUT OF THE SUN...AND CHECK UP ON RELATIVES AND NEIGHBORS.
