I’m not sure how they feel about it either 🙂 It’s hot up in that there tin foil sky.

Those last two lines are exactly the way the weather has been recently. But it’s mercifully cooler today. (K)

It’s horribly sticky and stormy here, but the temperature won’t go down until the storms break. Should have been yesterday but they missed.

So much fun… “mirage road,” “oven ready pigeons”

It isn’t particularly hot, only around 90°F but it’s horribly humid, threatening storms that never break.

I was in Tucson last week and found temps between 40° – 42° C.
Hot!

That’s high summer here, not June temperatures. This used to be a green part of France, but the climate is getting drier and hotter. They’ve even started planting olive trees as a commercial crop. We get a few weeks of 36-42° every summer now. Yes, hot!
