Hello, Harvard—you might, like us, be getting ready for summer to come to a close, but another summer week awaits. Take advantage of it and do something cool or off-beat while you have the time.
IN THE ATMOSPHERE
This week will be hot, hot, hot! Temperatures should be in the high 80s and low 90s all week, with some possible thunderstorms coming our way tomorrow. Luckily, you can get your tan or swim on this weekend with sunny skies.
