we are definitely already feeling the heat. these metro riders at dupont circle and farrington north have been dealing with cooling issues. they've had fans set up. this is a problem that's been going on for years, guys. the problem is that metro has cooling systems known as chillers. they're not really air conditioners. they get cool air over pipes. then it gets pumped into the metro system. these have been leaking over the last couple of years. so metro has had to shut the whole system off. people are dealing with hot, sweltering conditions and on a day like today when it gets to 90 and above, it is going to be really hot in the stations. the good news is metro has just installed a temporary fix for this problem. they're working on it right now. it should be in place by the end of this month, but that means we've got another couple of weeks before a cooling

>> reporter: number three, bring them back to reality. a couple of dollars here and there add up quickly for in app purchases. next time they ask to spend money on a virtual treat, offer them a real one instead so they can see the value. number four, let kids experience credit. let them purchase what they want on credit through you. they can see how interest works and decide if it's really worth it. summer is here and that means our kids are working and bringing in their first paycheck. what are the best ways to help them manage their money? we are working for you with that story tomorrow. 5:27. once again in weather alert mode as the heat and humidity continue to rise. the four things to kw before no
