   Excellent discovery! We must immediately secure massive government funding to find out why, as I am sure it imperils the entirety of the universe.

   You know it is going to be a hot day when the thermometer passes 100F as the sun rises and is over 105 by 10:00 AM

   I had lights to do yard work at 3AM and usually stopped for the day at sunrise. When working outside, for work we did all our outside work before 10 AM then worked inside the rest of the day.

   In Zion National Park 111 degrees. Bummer booked the hotel while it was in the 90s last week.

     Zion is one of my favorites. A surreal oasis.

   Flagstaff, AZ suddenly plunged from 86 F to 50 F during an afternoon thunderstorm yesterday that dropped 1.74″ of rain. So the desert SW, at least the elevated part, can also get quite cold during the summer.

   However, it’s interesting how the Weather Channel has been consistently over predicting high temperatures. In Chandler, AZ there were actually only 2 days of unusually high heat. out of the past 10 or so. The other days were within 3 or 4 degrees of the average high, and some were actually below the average high.
