A little toasty here. This will be the 26th day in a row with temps 110 or higher, and counting.
The old record for such days was 17 straight-- now obliterated.
I do not believe the temp has been below 90 at any time on any day during this streak.
I believe only a couple of the days were at 110-- the rest higher. Last week we tied a record of 6 straight days at 115 or higher. I've lost track of the number of daily records we have broken during this spell.
I've lived here more than 40 years, and it has never been this bad. It saps everything.
