How is the weather in the Washington D.c. area right now?

Question

and also do you like living there? IS FOOD HIGH THERE? IS THERE GOOD SCHOOLS THERE?

Answer 1

Right now it is heating up again. In a few days it will be muggy and hot.
Food is not cheap.
Schools vary depending on the neighborhood.

Answer 2

At this moment, the weather is pleasant. Overall, the past few weeks have been muggy, rainy, and just plain gross. Really, the opinion depends on what you are used to (Southerners, like myself, don't think it is too bad, but those from Maine are dying). What type of schools? There are lots of good universities, but public schools for children depend on whether or not you live in the suburbs. Everything is expensive in DC, I now consider 1000 a month for a one bedroom apartment "cheap".

Answer 3

According to the Washington Post, the weather is hot and humid. The nine day forecast is here.

Washington has a temperate climate typical of the mid-atlantic/northeastU.S. with four distinct seasons. Summer tends to be very hot and humid with daily high temperatures in July and August averaging in the high 80s° to low 90s°F (about 30° to 33°C). The combination of heat and humidity makes thunderstorms very frequent in the summer. Spring and fall are mild with high temperatures in April and October averaging in the high 60s° Fahrenheit (about 20 °C). Winter can bring cold temperatures, frozen precipitation and, on occasions, major snowstorms. Average highs tend to be in the 40s (4 to 8 °C) and lows in the 20s (-6 to -2 °C) from mid December to mid February. While hurricanes (or the remnants of them) occasionally track through the area in the late summer and early fall, they have often weakened by the time they reach Washington. Spring is the most favorable time of year, with low humidity, mild temperatures and blooming foliage. This period generally lasts from late March until mid May.

The average annual snowfall is 15 inches (381 mm) and the average high temperature in January is 43 °F (6 °C); the average low for January is 27 °F (-3 °C). The highest recorded temperature was 106 °F (41 °C) on July 20, 1930 and August 6, 1918 and the lowest recorded temperature was -15 °F (-26 °C) on February 11, 1899.

According to this cost of living index, Washington has a cost of living index of 137.8 for all items and 114.5 as compared to the US average of 100 so it is expensive although not as expensive as Californian cities such as San Francisco.

The public school system in the city is operated by District of Columbia Public Schools and consists of 167 schools and learning centers, which consist of 101 elementary schools, 11 middle schools, 9 junior high schools, 20 senior high schools, 6 education centers, and 20 special schools.

Private schools in the city include the British School of Washington, Georgetown Preparatory School, Emerson Preparatory School, Georgetown Day School, Georgetown Visitation Preparatory School, Gonzaga College High School, Edmund Burke School, Field School, German School, The Bullis School, The Maret School, The Model Secondary School, National Cathedral School, Our Lady of Victory, Sheridan School, Sidwell Friends School, St. Albans School, St. Anselm's Abbey School, St. John's College High School, Archbishop Carroll High School, St.Augustine Catholic School and the Washington International School. Washington has good private schools because of the high proportion of senior Government employees and diplomats living there. Most wealthy or middle-class families in Washington, place their children in private schools instead of DCPS schools largely due to the poor performance of the public system and facility problems. All are located in Washington, D.C., except Oak Hill Academy which is located in Laurel, Maryland.
