Hot spot

Whooee! It just hit 90F outside.

Actually, it's not that bad yet because the dew point is below 65 and there's a bit of a breeze blowing. But the mercury is supposed to rise some more. We have a low of 63 forecast for tonight, which is a lot better than the 70 they were talking about earlier. It's still not going to be a good night for sleeping unless we remember to get the room AC switched on about 9 p.m.

Out in the Dakotas, where one of my FRB (frequently read bloggers) lives, it has been close to 100. I had thought it was more like that "dry heat" you hear about in Arizona (where temperatures have been around 110 the last few days).

That's what I had thought. Then I checked the weather maps.

The map says several places in both Dakotas and northern Minnesota have dew points right now as high as 75. Ouch! That's brutally high, even for Florida. Alligator weather. How does Lady Visine help her llamas keep their cool?

Plans for this evening are up in the air yet.
