Day 7 - 149 -- Smoking Hot

Just a few nights back there was a front warning for the area. Today temperatures climbed into the mid 30s Celsius (~82 F) with a feel like temperature closer to 40C (~102 F). Needless to say, the house has been hot all day, too. This is the first of two or three more days of smoking hot weather. We are assured that temps will fall to something more usual for this time of year by the end of the weekend. With that will come rain -- not sure which system will cause that, but it may be the leftover bits of the tropical weather heading northward at present.

I headed out to campus to pick up something I'd forgotten when in earlier in the week and then checked on a friends house. I chose to take the car so I could check out the air conditioning unit in this newer vehicle. It did help keep me cool, though the humidity caused sweat rivulets before the temps got comfortable. The fans made the journey from the basement storage to the main floor, with one creating a pleasant breeze as I type this. It is far too early for this sort of weather to begin. I do hope that we get some rain to help with the dry forests and fire risks. There was a forest fire early this week not far outside of town -- never a good feeling.

The song choice has a decided '80s vibe but the title and lyrics say it all today. <smile>  Stay safe. Enjoy!
