Checking the forecast for the next week I see we are in for an inferno. We will have about three days with 107 predicted, then down to 105 and 104. A week from now we will be below 100 F again. So we are talking about 38-42 C.
I have three of the four a/c units running in the house. Curtains are pulled shut and fans are going and windows are shut. I will get that other a/c going soon.
For lunch we will have a green salad topped with shrimp. I am still hungry, but want lighter foods. I want more fruit as well.
I have worked outside a little today and will certainly do some more. But I promise not to over do it.

How hot is hot for you? Up to about 93 I am good, after that I sort of suffer.

I am so sorry. I think we're due for much more comfortable weather this week (although some days are still pretty hot), which is sadly related to the heat you're having and the hurricane that's coming for the lower half of the west coast.

I see they are predicting disastrous amounts of rain for Southern California and Mexico.

@GardenGerty Yeah, they haven't had a hurricane since 1939. This year continues its trend as The Year Of Strange Weather.

It's going to warm up here too but not into the 100s. There will be 4 days of rain starting on Wednesday. I wonder if that will be Hilary? Don't know what direction she will be going. Enjoy your Sunday and stay cool.

I am hoping predictions are wrong and maybe we get a little moisture.

It's the upper 80's here in the Rockies, with the forecast going to mid 90's. It's dry heat, so at least we have the very low humidity going for us. I also have the AC running and will have to wait until much later for my walk. I don't do well in very hot weather as I am prone to headaches.

Yes, it is very dry here. The dragonflies were glad that I came out and filled bird baths. Probably everything else is as well.

It is 100 degrees right now, but I notice tomorrow and the next day we are headed for 105 degrees. I laugh when people say Oklahoma has dry heat. Uh, no. We are draped in humidity too.
I would say Bob will have to keep an eye out for you, but I know you are wise enough not to overdue to. Sometimes, my dad has to drag Diana inside from being out in the backyard too long.
