My God, I would perish! I fear it’s getting worse. I read an article yesterday about increasing heat out there. Lake Mead is down to 36% of its capacity. What is to become of that region?
2:10 and 104F. Despite knowing that I shouldn’t, I have a sprinkler going in the clover patch. Its not really for the clover, its for the birds. The hummers fly through it and the little brown birds hop around under it.
97F with a humidity of 27% according to my weather gizmo on the back porch, which tracks fairy closely with the NWS readings.
It’s hot, but mostly in terms of the timing. Usually we have until the last week of June before it gets this hot, and the highs are usually in the 93-95 range right about now. I just hope this doesn’t mean that it’ll be crazy-hot come the first week of August when it’s traditionally the hottest.
At 3:20 it’s 102 degrees here. Might climb a degree or two more before it starts to back down. Staying inside with the A/C and keeping the lights off to reduce the load on the grid. Dinner is frozen dinners so that we don’t have to turn on the stove.
You joke, but windshield food is a thing. I used to warm up my lunch in my windshield, if I put left over pizza out at 10, the cheese was all melty at 12.
Probably unwise to mention it, but we’ve had a few nice June days in a row in central KY - upper 70s to around 80 for highs, lows down into the mid to upper 50s. And more such claimed for next week.
The figs and eggplant promise well, if we can avoid freak weather events like last year’s hailstorm…
Phoenix was 118 yesterday. It topped out at 107 here.
We are used to the heat out here, its not really that much of an issue when it cools down at night. We are getting more and more hot nights, which is killing trees and cactus.
