With summer break in full swing, and new freshmen on campus for Colonial Inauguration this week, many students still in D.C. are becoming aware of just how hot summers in the city actually get. Here is a playlist to help you forget how much you’re sweating – the average high temperature in D.C. in June is 84 degrees – or to listen to while you sit by the Vern pool.

The mix is upbeat, featuring pop, hip hop and EDM, with artists featured in past columns including Chvrches, Kanye West and Spring Fling 2016 opener Manila Killa. Treat it like your Spotify discover weekly playlist, but compiled by someone who has actually spent a summer in the District.
