Revan 30 Posted July 5, 2019 Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 A July forecast for DC has the following predictions: Thurdsay - Sun and some clouds, High 92 / Low 72 Friday - Mostly sunny - 92 / 73 Saturday - A P.M. shower or thunderstorm - 91 / 73 Sunday - A morning t-storm; some sun 87 / 72 (part of me wants to convert this to Celsius out of habit at my job) As always, keep in mind that we're still 3 weeks out, and with weather forecasting - like baseball - you can miss 2 out of 3 times and still be considered good at it. But it looks like a good weekend, if hot. (Then again, it's DC in July.) Link to post Share on other sites
TnAdct1 35 Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 Time for this annual reminder: Between the hot weather of the summer months and the amount of heat that can be produced in cities due to urban heat islands, the weather forecasts for Otakon weekend do call for possible rain most of the time. While there's a chance that the rain forecast may not happen (or if it does, it happens during a period where you're indoors), I advise you to bring along an umbrella to and from the convention center just in case.

windseeker 76 Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 Glad I got the connected hotel this year, also for the fact that my panel got scheduled for midnight on Sat.... Link to post Share on other sites
onsenmark 111 Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 Just to be safe, keep an umbrella on you at all times, and if you have to, find a shop or something to take cover in if the weather is particularly bad(Saturday night of 2017, anyone?), maybe grab some food and relax until it's over. Also, for Monday, for those of us who are leaving then: as I type, the forecast calls for an afternoon shower. High of 88 degrees F, low of 75 degrees F. Link to post Share on other sites
mellow-osity 58 Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 Yeah, I never worry too much about the weather since I spend almost ALL day in the convention center, but getting caught in a random downpour from hotel to convention center does suck. Link to post Share on other sites
Msprintz 5 Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 Weather forecast update... plan for it to be HOT... very hot. heres your summer 2019 heatwave forecast.

Revan 30 Posted July 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 (edited) Looks like the numbers are slightly lower, both the link above and [url=https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=38.8904&lon=-77.032] the National Weather Service[/url] have the forecast as mostly sunny in the high 80s with no mention of rain. Again it's the weather, so they should be taken with a grain of salt and pack an umbrella to be sure. (Don't know why the url link code isn't working.)

Will Marriott still have the connecting tunnel open at midnight? I sure hope so! Link to post Share on other sites
Aresef 110 Posted July 22, 2019 Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 So it's looking like the rain is going to be out of the way. Still pack your umbrella, though. Link to post Share on other sites
