DC to Get Break From Humidity Wednesday After Breaking Record for Most 90-Degree Days

The D.C. area will get a welcome break from the humidity on Wednesday after breaking a record for the most 90-degree days in July.

D.C. hit 26 days with temperatures of at least 90 on Tuesday. The last time July had that many scorching days was 2011.

Storm Team4 says Wednesday is set to be hot but mostly dry, with less humidity and a high of 94. It will be in the mid-90s by about 3 p.m. There’s a chance of showers in southern Maryland.
