Yup. We are hot and, well, just hot.

Yup. We are hot and, well, just hot.
I just saw my weather station register 106 degrees. We have clouds, and my weather alerts, that’s from area weather stations not my home weather station, has sent warnings about lightning strikes. So yes, we have hit hot here in the area.
The weather station is bouncing around the 104-106 mark.So we have hot, and I doubt we’ll get much cooler for a while.
UPDATE: it’s almost 4pm and it has begun sprinkling!
Okay, it rained for all of about 20 minutes. But that rain came in a variety of directions. The nice thing is the temperature dropped down to 74. In addition it was just rain (0.39 inches), some lightning and thunder, no hail. But now it is warming back up, we’re back up to mid 90’s in about an hour and a half.
We have officially hit triple digit temperatures in my back yard. Its hot and dry, 101 and 33% humidity. Plants are just dying. Lawns are getting dry patches from not getting enough water. Potted plants are not happy, animals are not happy.
Trying to walk a dog in this weather is difficult. Even at 9pm its hot, often 89 degrees. And that’s just too hot to walk my dog. And of course, at 9pm its dark. You have to take a flashlight with you.
But we will see what happens thru the rest of summer. Will it get hotter? Very possibly it will. And if it does, it will be miserable.
