It’s 100 degrees with about 50% humidity in Fairfax, VA right now. It’s uncomfortable even with the AC on. I can’t imagine what it must feel like on the Mall. And it’s not going to get any better. Unless Trump comes through with unlimited water bottles and misting stations - which I doubt - they’re going to be dropping like flies.
