Forgive me for those who are not North Americans. I'm not good at numbers. So today it got to the triple digit temperatures. Very overcast due to fires to the north and I'm not sure where all. Just smoky like its foggy.
I went to water aerobics this morning. Wow my thigh muscles are complaining though I modify and never do all the prolonged hard stuff the others go through. It still feels like I hiked a mountain trail!
Tomorrow our temperatures are supposed to go up another four or five degrees. Yup. Maybe the hottest ever since I've lived here. Then: tah dah. Saturday the temps will be back to the 80's before we start zipping back to boiling. I should- could- and should get in some weed whacking by my driveway while its cold out. Ha ha. The 80s is cold. Oh my what a world.

@changjiangzhibin89 Very similar to my area then. The temperatures are cooling down this weekend but the wind is rising. That could lead to fires starting up in the brush and other dry places.

@changjiangzhibin89 Is it a dry heat or a humid heat? I agree with you about exercising.

Good luck with that weed wacking. All of the rain we are having is really making our grass go bananas.

@Shellyann36 Thanks. I've watered along the driveway, by the gardens so the alfalfa etc. is past my knees now. Got to do something about it cause I can hardly walk into the gardens at this point.

I've spent more time in the house this summer due to the disgustingly hot weather. I've become an a/c hermit

@andriaperry Just cold enough for me to get socks and boots and a long shirt on so that I can mow weeds.
