Today was, I think, the hottest day I’ve ever experienced in my 3 1/2 years here. The high temp was around 110, and while we’ve had hotter – it got up to 117 earlier this year – the (relatively speaking) high humidity really made it a scorcher. It was 102 in Memphis on Friday, but even with their normally-oppressive summer humidity, but it didn’t feel nearly as hot as today dfelt here. Even after running the fountain in our pool all afternoon to aerate the water and reduce the temperature, it was still awhopping 96 at 10 PM, so I know the water temperature must have been around 100 earlier in the day. Amazing. I’ll tell you this – no one lives in Phoenix for the summers, that’s for sure!
