It's Gettin' Hot...

Today it is supposed to get up to 108ْ
But it’s a dry heat…First let me say that regardless of how dry it is anything over 105 is hot! On average we have about 90 days of 100ْ or higher, the hottest day ever recorded was on June 26th 1990, it was 122ْ …Thank God we didn't get to AZ until July 4th 1990!
