What June feels like

June brings the school groups — matching T-shirts filling the Mall from the Capitol to the Lincoln — and the first genuinely humid stretch of the year. Jazz in the Garden starts up at the Sculpture Garden on Friday evenings, which is where half the city goes to pretend it is not a work night.

Expect about 7 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. There’s a little humidity in the air, but nothing that changes your plans. about 8 afternoons top 90°.
