(Washington Post) — So much talk about the weather — can you believe how hot it is? — and absolutely nothing to do about it. Nothing, that is, unless you happen to sell air conditioners or repair overheated cars or offer water by the case. If so, prepare to do business.
“This is likely going to be, for air conditioners, probably their best week in years,” said Evan Gold, senior vice president of client services at Planalytics, which advises retailers on managing the effects of weather on their businesses.
