Thursday was 96, yesterday was 89, today is forecast 91, then starting tomorrow (Sunday - Father's Day) 97, 84, 94, 98. Most of those except the 84 are likely to top 100 on our thermometer that's in the shade on the north side of the house under the eave. They also include a possible thunderstorm each day.
Princess F - Winter lasts long enough as it is, no matter how warm it gets, summer is still better. The dry heat here (typical daytime humidity is about 20-25%) is more comfortable at 100° than 95% humidity at 85°. At least when you perspire, it evaporates and cools you off. The key is maintaining good hydration.
I mowed and trimmed our half acre of yard on Thursday with the temps in the mid 90's in the shade and not a cloud to be seen (our thermometer hit 103). It actually was fairly comfortable, and I don't usually do heat well. We had dinner that evening with friends on their deck, which with a western exposure gets the full effect of the afternoon and evening sun, and even that was quite nice.
