It hit 120 in the shade here yesterday, however a couple of degrees cooler today in my neck of the desert. We at least know what to expect and are as prepared as we can be for these scorching temps. My heart goes out to all of you who are in areas where high temps are uncommon...stay hydrated and safe everyone and remember our fur babies have higher body temps, less sweat glands and tender paws so keep them safe and indoors during peak hours.

You must be in Arizona?  I am in northern CA and it has been over 110 for a week, should cool own next week to the 90's at least.  I could never survive in AZ!

I posted this earlier, but Maryland will  have 103F on Monday and Tuesday.  Here it's been very hot and humid everyday since the beginning of June.  We sometimes get a break of in the 80's for one day.  And then it resumes.  Many days it is supposed to storm.  Most of the time, it evaporates. Sometimes we get short bursts of rain and then stops.  I think it will continue to be in the mid to upper 90's until September at least. 

Yes, the planet is getting hotter.  The controversary is between causes. Natural or man made.  Not the fact that it is getting warmer.
