Yep, weather forecast shows no more 117 degree days - we are going to dip down to about 105 by Sunday. Of course, as a Las Vegas resident, we could tell. You can feel that nip in the air. ---

It was 47 degrees here when I woke up this morning. My mother got up a couple hours before me, and reported it was 39 at her house. ---

Ah, Vegas! I still lovingly recall rollin’ home at 2 in the morning and 102 degrees. ---

We’re expecting a heatwave in London from the weekend. It might even reach 90F. ---

We’re in the middle of, by my count, the four hundred thirty seventh torrential downpour of the last two months. I just got a flash flood warning on my phone, which is something I was completely unaware my phone did. ---

My parents retired to Las Vegas. They came back to my house in the NY / NJ area and were whining about it being cold when it was in the low eighties. My mom actually put the heat and two blankets when it fell to the mid-seventies at night. My husband had the overhead fan on in our bedroom that night because it was sort of humid. You couldn’t pay me to live there. ---
