There has been no letup in July so far and the number of days with 100-degree temperatures continues to climb. In fact, some locations have already exceeded their annual average number of 100-degree days -- and it's only early July!
So it's not just me. I just came back from walking the dogs for the third time today. I took them out at 6:30 this morning for an hour when it was 85 degrees, then again around 4:00 because they were driving me nuts and it was 103 degrees. (There is an open space grassy area in back of the house that runs for about a quarter mile, they got to romp there before they almost fell down from heat.) And just now, at 9:30 when it is probably about 93 outside. There is no wind, it is as still as a dead cat.
We walked on the main road, nice sidewalks and street lights, past other people's backyards. Dogs barked at us, stuck their muzzles under the brick fences. They were as anxious for action as an unlit firecracker, just waiting for that match. Hot, hot, hot.
Every shower I take, including the one I will take in the next 5 minutes, is cold. Remember how it feels when you jump into the ocean or a lake or a swimming pool, when that cold water hits your stomach and takes your breath away for about 5 seconds? It's the same with a cold shower, you just hold your breath and walk into it and let out a little squeal, but 5 seconds later you are standing under the showerhead wondering why the water isn't colder.
Over and out for tonight. Current weather, just so you don't think I am making this up. Right now, at 10:10 at night, it is 93 degrees. Yumm.
