Hot today.

Also?

Hot.

There are melted cats(tm) in various strategic places throughout the house. Fans have been deployed.

There's not a breath of air moving in the leaves outside my office. Gonna be a long night, she suspects.

Steve has hit Raleigh. Fortunately, Raleigh did not hit back. I understand that his plans for the evening include attending the Baen Publishing Empire's somewhat delayed Office Warming Party. And tomorrow! The con begins!

Guess you saw this -- http://icanhascheezburger.com/2010/08/02/funny-pictures-melting-may-occur/

Sorry, a little trouble sympathizing with your heat exhaustion, though of course it's all in what you're used to. My computer tells me that Waterville was 88° today, which I would have appreciated, since it was 105° here. Of course, we felt hard-done-by with two near-record nights in January of 9°F, which I guess you pretty much would laugh at.

I look back at the snow pictures as longingly as I knew I would at the time, back when I was ready for it to warm up. http://naturalist-amm.blogspot.com/2010/02/fourth-snow.html
Why can't April and October last about 120 days each?

Mmmm. Eight-eightF/31C with 83% humidity is what? A heat index of 106F/41C? Something like that. Plenty warm for these parts.

I see today that they've knocked the predicted high back to 83F/28C, which is an important five degrees. Still looking at high humidity, though.

In the Old Habits Die Hard Department: In Baltimore, a thunderstorm would clear the air and cool things off, and I still expect that, even though in Central Maine -- not so much.
