It’s too hot when… …the humidity in your immediate vicinity is caused by your own evaporated sweat. …you squish when you walk – and it’s not coming from your shoes. …you find yourself eating fried ice cream, though that isn’t what you bought. …your iced tea begins to steep. …you can’t run without leaving skidmarks. …crossing the street involves wading through the asphalt. …between the supermarket and home, dinner has made itself. …the cows in the field have grill marks on them. …your sunburn begins to glow. …the only fan that is sufficiently capable of cooling you off is made by Boeing. ---

I don’t know what y’all are talking about. The highs in Phoenix lately have been around 113-114 (F., that is), yet the TV weather people just refer to it as “warm.” Only when it gets over 120 F is it classified as “hot.” Which may not be far off. Yeah, but it’s a dry heat, as they keep saying, but so is an oven! 😃 ---
