What July feels like

July heat comes back up off the pavement and the rowhouse blocks in South Philly hold it well past dark, which is exactly why the stoop counts as furniture here. The Fourth on the Parkway is a full day of standing in it, and the Welcome America events run all week.

Expect about 6 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. It’s sticky — light fabrics and an afternoon break earn their keep. about 13 afternoons top 90°.
